Full Telematics
Enterprise telematics. Built for small carriers.

ERETH ELD captures vehicle data that large fleets pay thousands per month to get from Motive or Samsara. We include it free.

📡
Complete Vehicle Telemetry

ERETH ELD connects directly to the vehicle ECM and transmits real-time telemetry data to VAU0 Portal every 60 seconds. No manual inputs. No phone GPS approximations. Real engine data from the source.

  • GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude)
  • Vehicle speed from ECM (not phone GPS)
  • Engine RPM
  • Coolant temperature
  • Fuel level and consumption rate
  • Engine hours
  • Odometer reading
  • Idle time tracking
  • Battery voltage
  • Engine fault codes (DTC) — immediate alerts
  • Harsh braking events (G-force measured)
  • Rapid acceleration events
  • Cornering severity
  • Seatbelt status (where supported by ECM)
  • Transmission gear position
  • Brake system status
  • Ambient temperature sensor
  • Cargo door sensor (coming Q3 2026)
🔔
