HGV Telematics – Heavy Goods Vehicle Tracking & Diagnostics
Telematics for Heavy Goods Vehicles combines GPS tracking and onboard diagnostics to monitor real-time vehicle location, fuel consumption and driving behaviour – with the compliance and cost-control depth that HGV operations demand.
An HGV is a six-figure asset earning by the mile. Telematics tells you how hard it's working, what it's costing, and when it needs attention – before the dashboard light comes on. For heavy fleets, three things matter most: compliance, fuel and uptime. HGV telematics speaks to all three.
What HGV Telematics Delivers
- Compliance support – independent GPS movement records that cross-check drivers' hours events, plus remote diagnostic fault-code alerts that feed straight into your maintenance schedule
- Fuel & AdBlue monitoring – consumption per vehicle, route and driver, with anomaly alerts that flag possible fuel theft or a developing mechanical problem
- Trailer tracking – know where every trailer is, what it's coupled to, and how long it has been standing. Recover lost days on dropped trailers
- Uptime protection – fault codes from the vehicle's own systems arrive before the breakdown does. Our engineers already know what's wrong before they arrive
- Driver performance – event scoring on braking, acceleration, cornering and speeding, linked to our driver behaviour monitoring approach
From Fault Code to Fixed – In-House
Here's where Trailer Aid is different from a pure telematics reseller. When an EBS or ECAS fault code arrives from one of your vehicles, you don't need to find someone who understands it – our technicians work on WABCO, Knorr-Bremse and Haldex systems every day. The data and the spanners live under one roof.
Trailer Fleets: The Hidden Win
Ask any transport manager where their trailers are right now and watch them reach for the phone. Trailer telematics ends the guessing: live positions, geofenced depot alerts, uncoupling events and standing-time reports. Fleets routinely find they have more trailer capacity than they thought – it was just scattered and invisible.
Compliance · Fuel · Uptime
HGV telematics pays for itself across three fronts: a cleaner compliance story for DVSA, a measurable dent in the fleet's biggest cost line, and fewer trucks off the road unexpectedly.
- Remote EBS/ECAS fault-code alerts
- Fuel & AdBlue anomaly detection
- Independent trailer tracking & geofencing
- Drivers' hours cross-check records
