Light commercial vehicle

GPS tracking for light vehicles — utes, vans, light trucks.

OBD plug-in on FMM003 (DIY, minutes per vehicle) or hardwired on FMM250 / Smart5 when you need driver ID, immobilisation, or dashcam. Driver scorecard and fuel monitoring.

Recommended hardware

Teltonika FMM003 OBD plug-in (DIY) or Teltonika FMM250 hardwired for fleet scale. Ruptela Plug5 / Smart5 alternatives. Teltonika FMC650 with dashcam for compliance-mandated fleets (BMA, Rio Tinto, FMG).

Why light vehicles

What Teletrack does on a light vehicle

Live tracking & trip history

Position updates while ignition is on. Full trip history with start/end addresses, kilometres, idling, harsh events. Geofence sites and no-go zones.

Driver scorecard

Per-driver scoring on speeding, harsh braking, acceleration, cornering, idling. Rules-based, exportable. Useful for coaching and insurance discounting.

Fuel monitoring

Fuel consumption per vehicle, driver, trip via OBD or CANBUS. Fuel theft detection flags large unexplained drops.

Dashcam-ready

Teltonika FMC650 telematics device pairs with forward or dual-facing dashcam. Common on Tier 1 site work and insurance-led safety programs.

Operator ID & immobilisation

Hardwired devices (FMM250, Smart5) support operator ID via iButton, RFID, keypad, QR. PROSTART® immobilisation gates the start.

Hardware choice

OBD plug-in vs hardwired

Plug-in is right when you want a fast DIY rollout and don't need immobilisation, in-cab driver ID, or deeper CANBUS data. Hardwired is right when you need any of those, or when you want the device tamper-resistant. Many fleets mix — plug-ins on bulk service vehicles, hardwired on pool vehicles or high-risk roles.

Install

Install options per device

OBD plug-in (FMM003 or Plug5): DIY, under a minute. Plug into OBD-II port, confirm the device appears on platform, done. Most fleets fit 30+ vehicles in one afternoon.

Hardwired (FMM250 or Smart5): 30–60 minutes with an auto-electrician. Switched 12V power, ground, CANBUS tap, and relay loop into start circuit for PROSTART®. We can arrange install through partners or you use your own auto-electrician with our diagrams.

Dashcam-equipped (FMC650): 60–90 minutes. FMC650 telematics device installs like FMM250; dashcam mounts to windscreen. Teltonika Dashcam (forward-only) or DualCam (forward + driver-facing) standard.

Common questions

How long does install take?

OBD plug-in — under a minute, DIY. Hardwired — 30–60 minutes with an auto-electrician. Dashcam-equipped — 60–90 minutes.

OBD vs hardwired — which should I pick?

Plug-in for fast DIY rollouts without immobilisation needs. Hardwired when you need immobilisation, driver ID, or deeper CANBUS. Many fleets mix both.

Can I get an insurance discount?

Many AU insurers offer telematics-linked discounts with dashcam evidence and driver scorecard. We don't have a panel arrangement, but the data we produce is what insurers ask for.

Is this consumer car tracking?

No — Teletrack is a B2B fleet platform. We don't sell to individuals tracking a single car. If you're a business running light commercial vehicles, you're in the right place.
