• The GV350CEU, LTE vehicle tracker comes with CAN support. The built-in CAN interpreter reads data from full types of CAN-equipped vehicles including heavy trucks, light commercial vehicles, and passenger cars. EIA-232 serial port and 1-wire interface allow fuel level monitoring and driver identification.
• The upcoming GV355CEU, LTE Cat 1 telematics terminal comes also with CAN, tachograph data reading, and is dedicated to advanced fleet applications. The company said, it’s equipped with a vehicle data interpreter, which can be connected to almost all tachograph models (including D8 and CAN interface tachograph) to remotely download the tacho data and file. It supports all kinds of CAN-equipped vehicle data reading.

According to the company, LTE Cat 1 communication with 2G fallback ensures a connection in almost all cases, providing greater efficiency for IoT (Internet of Things) devices applied in fleet management, usage-based insurance, healthcare, and more. It is available worldwide and allows global roaming.

“For the recently released GV58CEU, GV305CEU, and GV350CEU, as well as the CV100LG telematics dual-lens LTE dash camera, we already see telematics service providers in the UK, France, Netherlands, and Turkey placed considerable orders over the past few months, thanks to their faith in Queclink and the new products,” said Alejandro Patino. “For telematics service providers in need of even advanced functionality such as CAN bus and tachograph data reading, please stay tuned for the upcoming GV355CEU.”
