Telematics boxes

Efficient fleet management made easy

The telematics boxes act as an interface between your vehicles and the RIO platform. They transmit relevant vehicle data, which is made available to the fleet manager via digital services. This enables digital, efficient fleet management and the best possible vehicle deployment of the entire fleet.

What are telematics boxes?

The telematics boxes for trucks, buses and vans are powerful vehicle control units. Once installed, you no longer need to worry about any additional hardware.

The telematics boxes maintain a constant connection between the vehicle and the RIO platform. Data is collected either from the CAN bus or the FMS interface of your vehicle and transmitted to the platform. For example, fuel consumption, maintenance information or the current position are sent to the RIO platform via the mobile network (2G, 3G, 4G).

As with every component of a commercial vehicle, maintenance is also an important issue here. However, you do not have to worry about this, as the software of your telematics box is automatically updated Over-the-Air . The successor to the RIO Box in MAN trucks is the CM4 (Connectivity Module 4).
