Fuel consumption and fuel

Analyze real-time and cumulative fuel consumption, fuel level, refueling events, and abnormal variations to detect losses, discrepancies, or possible fuel theft.

Engine data

View RPM, temperature, operating hours, mileage, and other parameters available depending on the vehicle's make, model, and protocol.

Driving analysis

Combine CAN bus data with GPS trips, idling, acceleration, braking, and usage time to improve operational efficiency.

What is CAN bus data?

CAN bus is the internal communication network that a vehicle's electronic control units use to exchange information. When the model and installation allow it, Vigilo collects that data and presents it clearly in the fleet management platform.

The data available depends on the make, model, year, ECU, and connection method. On commercial vehicles, the FMS interface can also be used.

Data your company can get

  • Fuel consumption and tank level.
  • Mileage reported by the vehicle.
  • Engine RPM and idle time.
  • Temperature and operating hours.
  • Speed, ignition, and other supported parameters.
  • Alerts, reports, and per-vehicle comparisons.
