RIO is a Cloud-based platform. This means that a web browser is all you need. You don’t have to download any additional software. You can do everything online.

The RIO platform supports up-to-date web browsers such as:

You can add new vehicles on the RIO platform by switching to fleet management in the “Administration” section of the main menu. Click on “Add” and create a new vehicle by entering the vehicle type, name and VIN.
New vehicles may have already been created automatically when you purchased the vehicle.

Pocket Fleet (for fleet managers)
At RIO, we know that fleet managers are not always at their desk. For that reason, we have developed the free Pocket Fleet telematics app, which allows you to manage your fleet on the go. With Pocket Fleet, you can keep constant track of all your vehicles and drivers, together with the most important status information (depending on the booking).

4Drivers (for drivers)
It is also possible to use many location-based features from RIO without our RIO Box. All you need for this is an Android smartphone and our 4Drivers app. Turn your smartphone into a virtual RIO box by simply downloading this from the Android Play Store.

Yes, you can manage your drivers as well: You can create new drivers and remove existing drivers at any time. What’s more, you can assign your drivers specific rights and roles, and group your drivers. (Available from April 2021)

On Rio Marketplace, you book services from RIO, MAN DigitalServices and other partners whenever you like. You can read up on the scope of the services and the costs before you book: The prices are charged flexibly per day and vehicle – without a minimum term of contract and with no hidden costs. You can book and cancel the services on a daily basis.

Services can be paid for by credit card and SEPA direct debit.

The Customer Centre provides you with an overview of the services booked, your documents and your activities on Marketplace. Under payment type, you can view your current payment type and change it if you like .
Not every user has access to the Customer Centre. The rights assigned to a user by the administrator determine whether a user can gain access to the Customer Centre.

You will receive an invoice from RIO once a month. The invoice shows each booked service with the monthly consolidated costs. If you have booked services from MAN DigitalServices or partners, you will also receive an invoice in their name showing the corresponding services booked.

All our services can be cancelled on a daily basis in the Customer Centre on the RIO platform. You will also find an overview of the services you have booked there.

No, you don’t. All you need to do is remove the sold vehicle from your virtual fleet on the RIO platform. RIO will then automatically cancel the services.

Unfortunately, that is not possible, as the data is linked to the VIN. However, you can always cancel the service for the old vehicle and then add the service for the new vehicle.

Since August 2017, the RIO Box has been installed as standard in all MAN Truck & Bus SE trucks released.
Older MAN trucks and those from other brands can be retrofitted through the MAN workshop network at a country-specific fixed rate. Getting started.

All new MAN trucks are factory-fitted with RIO as standard. We offer an optional retrofit solution for all other trucks and makes, provided they have an FMS interface.

Yes, the RIO Box can also be fitted in vehicles conforming to the Euro 3 to Euro 5 emissions standards. However, you should discuss the technical requirements for this with MAN truck sales staff.

One of the core functions is “over the air” updating. Updates are downloaded to the RIO Box and installed without customers or service workshops having to do anything at all. This ensures that customers benefit from the latest software versions at all times.

No, there are no additional mobile phone costs or roaming costs for you as the customer.
