How it works
A tracker with a CAN interface, often through a contactless reader, listens to the vehicle's data network and sends the selected values to the platform with each position report.
← Fuel & Tank Monitoring
CAN Bus Engine Data
Read data straight from the vehicle's own electronics: fuel level and consumption, odometer, engine hours, RPM and warning indicators, where the vehicle makes them available.
What it does
- Fuel level and total fuel used
- Accurate odometer and engine hours
- RPM, engine load and temperature
- Fault and warning indicators on supported vehicles
- Pedal and brake data for driving analysis
- Data for maintenance schedules
Why it matters
- Fuel data without drilling the tank
- Maintenance planned on real engine hours
- Earlier notice of engine problems
- Richer driving behaviour data
Good to know
Available data depends on the manufacturer, model and year, so each vehicle type is checked before you rely on CAN for fuel or engine hours.

Common question
Does reading CAN affect the vehicle? Contactless readers listen without writing to the network; installation follows the device maker's method for each vehicle.
