Driver identification turns a GPS tracker from a tool that tells you where a vehicle went into one that tells you who was driving it. Setting it up is straightforward once you understand the parts involved: a compatible tracker, a driver identification keypad or tag, and a few minutes of configuration. This guide walks through how to set up driver identification on a GPS tracker, step by step, whatever fleet you run. What You Need to Identify Drivers Two pieces of hardware ma

Standard GPS trackers tell you where a vehicle is and how fast it is going. CAN bus GPS trackers go further — they read directly from the vehicle's own data network, unlocking fuel consumption, odometer readings, engine fault codes, RPM, axle weight, and dozens of other parameters that would otherwise require a separate diagnostic module. If you want to understand what your vehicles are doing rather than just where they are, CAN bus is the technology to look at. What Is the C

Fuel is typically the largest controllable cost in any fleet — often 30–40% of total running expenses. Modern GPS trackers with fuel monitoring give fleet managers the data to identify waste, reduce unnecessary consumption, and catch fuel theft before it becomes a significant loss. Here is how it works and what you can expect to save. How Do GPS Trackers Monitor Fuel? There are two main methods. CAN bus integration: Teltonika and Queclink GPS trackers with CAN bus support con

GPS tracking your fleet is completely legal in the UK — but it must be done correctly. The UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 set clear rules about how you collect, use, and store location data from your employees' vehicles. This guide explains exactly what fleet managers need to do to stay compliant, avoid ICO enforcement, and maintain driver trust. Is It Legal to Track Employees' Vehicles? Yes — tracking vehicles that employees use for work is lawful under UK GDPR, provid

A GPS tracker tells you where your vehicle was and how fast it was going. A dashcam tells you what happened. Together, they create the most complete record of any fleet incident — and UK fleet operators are increasingly choosing combined video telematics solutions that deliver both in a single integrated system. What Is Fleet Video Telematics? Fleet video telematics combines GPS tracking data — position, speed, braking, acceleration — with synchronised video footage from came

Not every asset you need to track has a 12V power supply. Trailers, portable equipment, motorcycles, containers, and non-motorised vehicles all need a tracker that runs on its own battery. The Teltonika TAT100 was built exactly for this purpose — a compact, self-powered GPS device that tracks anything, anywhere, without needing a wiring connection. What Is the Teltonika TAT100? The TAT100 is a compact battery-powered GPS tracker from Teltonika. It runs entirely from an intern

Van fleets are one of the most common GPS tracking use cases in the UK. Whether you run 3 vans or 300, fitting a reliable GPS tracker gives you visibility of where every vehicle is, who is driving it, and how it is being used — and gives drivers the confidence that their work is being recognised fairly. What to Look for in a GPS Tracker for Vans Not all GPS trackers suit van fleets equally. Key features to look for include 4G connectivity so tracking works across modern UK ne

Choosing the right driver identification keypad for your fleet means more than selecting a price point. The keypad must be compatible with the GPS tracker already installed in your vehicles — matching its communication interface, connection protocol, and I/O configuration. This guide covers which of our keypads work with which trackers, what connection method is required, and how driver ID data flows from keypad to fleet management platform. How Driver ID Keypads Connect to G
