Preventive fleet maintenance and alerts

The breakdown you do not see coming costs the most

An unplanned breakdown means a vehicle at the roadside, a tow, a round to redo and a customer left waiting. Most of the time the signal was there before the failure. Servicing purely by the calendar services low-mileage vehicles too early and non-stop vehicles too late. And an engine warning light the driver ignores never reaches anyone at the office.

Calendar servicing misses the mark

An oil change every year, a service on a fixed date: the truck doing 120,000 km is under-serviced, the van sitting at the depot is over-serviced. Either way, you pay at the wrong time.

The light comes on, nobody knows

An oil-pressure or engine-temperature light in the cab never reaches the fleet manager. The driver carries on, the small fault becomes engine damage.

Due dates tracked by hand

Roadworthiness test, oil change, service, tachograph: kept in a spreadsheet or from memory, they end up overlapping or slipping through, with a fine or a breakdown at the end.

The workshop reacts instead of planning

When everything arrives as an emergency, the workshop works in a rush, the parts are not there, the vehicle waits. A planned job costs less than one you are forced into.

CAN bus / J1939 / FMS

Telematics reads what the vehicle already knows

Connected to the vehicle's CAN bus, our units read the manufacturer's data continuously. On heavy trucks, the FMS interface and the J1939 protocol give access to standardised parameters: engine hours, oil level and oil pressure, engine temperature, AdBlue level, gross weight and air intake.

Dashboard warning lights come through to the fleet manager in real time. An engine light on in the cab triggers an alert at the office, before the driver forgets it.

From breakdowns you suffer to maintenance you manage

Service alerts on real usage

Due dates trigger by mileage, by engine hours or by power-take-off hours, not just by date. Each vehicle is followed on its actual counter and warns you in time.

Preventive and predictive maintenance

By combining actual wear with engine data, the platform plans the job before the breakdown. You service according to the state of the vehicle, not an arbitrary date.

Remote diagnostics

Fault codes come in real time. You know whether the warning light is harmless or the vehicle needs to come in, before taking anything off the road or calling a tow truck.

Due dates and cost per vehicle

Roadworthiness test, oil change, service: due dates are tracked in one place. Each vehicle has its own cost file, so you see which one costs too much and when to replace it.

What managed maintenance changes

Fewer breakdowns and less engine damage, so less downtime and fewer tows. Costs spread across the year rather than met in an emergency. And a workshop that plans instead of scrambling. The orders of magnitude below depend on your fleet and your usage.

Real case

One light, one alert, one planned job

On a truck out on its round, the engine temperature climbs and the light comes on in the cab. Instead of relying on the driver to report it, the platform passes the alert to the fleet manager in real time.

The vehicle finishes its round under watch, goes to the workshop that evening with the right part already ordered, and sets off the next day. That same fault ignored means engine damage, a tow and two days off the road.

Frequently asked questions

Can servicing be planned on real usage instead of the calendar?

Yes. Due dates can trigger by mileage, by engine hours or by power-take-off hours, alongside calendar dates. A low-mileage vehicle is no longer serviced too early, a non-stop vehicle no longer too late. You set your thresholds and the platform follows each vehicle's actual counter.

Do you get an alert when an engine light comes on in a truck?

Yes. Dashboard warning lights and manufacturer fault codes come through over the CAN bus, in real time, to the fleet manager. An oil-pressure or engine-temperature light no longer depends on the driver alone. The depth of reading depends on the make and model, which we confirm before the offer.

Can engine hours and AdBlue level be read through telematics?

On trucks fitted with the FMS interface and the J1939 protocol, yes: engine hours, AdBlue level, engine temperature, gross weight and other standardised parameters come into the platform. On vans and light vehicles, the list depends on the model. We check this vehicle by vehicle.

How do you anticipate a mechanical failure on a truck?

By combining real wear (kilometres, engine hours) with engine data and fault codes. A drifting temperature, a falling oil pressure or a recurring fault triggers an alert before the failure. The job is planned calmly, with the right part, rather than in an emergency at the roadside.

Can roadworthiness test and service due dates be tracked?

Yes. Roadworthiness test, oil change, service, regulatory due dates: they are centralised in the platform with a reminder ahead of the date. No more spreadsheet or workshop memory; reminders can go to your in-house workshop or your partner garage.

Does maintenance require a specific unit?

No. Maintenance data comes from the same telematics unit as fleet tracking, connected to the CAN bus. One installation covers tracking, maintenance and eco-driving, with no extra hardware.
