Compact vehicle GPS tracker with CAN bus and OBD reading, BLE 5.0, and rugged housing options

Versatile tracking with Smart5

Smart5 is a versatile GPS vehicle tracker designed for flexible fleet management. It combines 4G connectivity with 2G fallback, CAN and OBD data reading, and CustomCAN support to ensure compatibility across a wide range of vehicles. Available in slim IP54 (14 mm) and rugged IP68 (21 mm) housings, Smart5 adapts to both standard fleet cars and heavy-duty machinery. With BLE 5.0, multiple I/Os, ultra-low power consumption, and strong security features, Smart5 delivers reliable fleet tracking, driver monitoring, and asset protection in any environment.

Precise GNSS positioning

Swiss-made u-blox GNSS module ensures accurate and reliable location tracking (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo).

4G connectivity with 2G fallback

Reliable and future-ready data transfer with wide network coverage across regions.

CAN bus and OBD data reading

Access performance data from cars, vans, trucks, trailers, and heavy machinery via CANbus or OBD.

CustomCAN support

Expand compatibility beyond standard supported lists, especially valuable for non-standard vehicles and heavy machinery.

Slim design

Compact form: only 14 mm thick (IP54) and 21 mm (IP68) for discreet, easy installation.

Dual housing options

Choose IP54 for standard fleets or waterproof IP68 for rugged outdoor and industrial use.

Low power consumption

Consumes just 0.5 mA in deep sleep mode, preserving the vehicle battery for extended periods and ensuring long-lasting efficiency.

Secure operation

Backup battery, jamming detection, and power disruption alerts for extra safety.

Bluetooth LE 5.0

Connect to sensors and wireless accessories for advanced fleet monitoring.

Multiple I/O interfaces

DINs, DOUTs, AIN, and 1-Wire interface enable flexible integrations.

Driver behavior monitoring & Eco-driving

Smart5 delivers a powerful driver behavior monitoring and Eco-driving solution. Using CANbus and OBD data, fleets can track vehicle performance, fuel consumption, engine load, accelerator pedal activity, and other parameters. 

Eco-driving insights are captured via 3-axis accelerometer and GPS, helping reduce fuel costs, improve safety, and optimize fleet efficiency. Key metrics include idling time, harsh acceleration and braking, and overspeeding, providing clear, actionable data to coach drivers and enhance operational performance across cars, vans, trucks, agriculture and construction machinery. 

Real-time location monitoring

Track cars, vans, trucks, trailers, and heavy machinery in real time to improve fleet visibility and operational decisions.

Driver identification

Authorize drivers before vehicle start and ensure accountability across multi-driver fleets for safer, compliant operations.

Cargo conditions monitoring

Monitor cargo and trailer conditions, including temperature and humidity, to protect goods and maintain compliance.

Vehicle and driver security

Detect theft, jamming, and unauthorized use, with backup battery and alerts for uninterrupted protection.

Trailers monitoring

Access trailer CAN data such as electronic brake systems (EBS) to ensure safe, compliant operations.

Fuel monitoring

Measure fuel levels and consumption to optimize usage, reduce losses, and improve fleet efficiency for vans, trucks, buses, and heavy machinery.
