The native telematics integration uses OEM-embedded vehicle systems to deliver fleet data without hardware retrofits, covering both ICE and EV models within a single platform
Geotab has introduced a telematics integration for Hyundai vehicles in Europe that works through connectivity embedded in supported models at the point of manufacture. Data from those built-in systems travels directly to the MyGeotab platform via the cloud. Fleet operators do not need to fit any aftermarket hardware, which removes the cost of equipment and installation and simplifies the process of getting vehicles onto the platform.
Both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicles (EV) are supported within the same platform environment. Fleet managers overseeing a mixed Hyundai portfolio can combine native vehicle data with Geotab’s analytics tools, bringing their full operation into a single view and giving them the information they need to manage performance, maintenance, and energy use across their vehicles.
Key Advantages for Fleet Managers:
- Proactive Maintenance & Uptime: Monitoring of engine health, including oil pressure, coolant temperatures, and specific DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) status, prevents costly breakdowns.
- Near Real Time GPS: Newer Hyundai vehicles will be able to transmit GPS every 10 seconds (older vehicles will send data at ignition on/off)
- Precision Safety Management: Managers can now track driver and passenger seatbelt usage, airbag deployment, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) forward vehicle distance, hood status and door locks to ensure a safer working environment.
- Comprehensive Tire Intelligence: Beyond basic alerts, fleets receive specific tire pressure readings and status indicators for every wheel, significantly improving fuel efficiency and safety.
- Future-Ready EV Insights: For electric fleets, the solution tracks state of charge, charging states (AC/DC), and battery cell temperatures, allowing for optimised route planning based on “time to fully charged” metrics.
This deep integration allows fleet managers to transition from reactive monitoring to proactive optimisation by leveraging high-resolution insights directly from Hyundai’s factory-fitted sensors.
“Adding Hyundai to our OEM partner network strengthens the breadth of manufacturers European fleet operators can manage through a single platform,” said Christoph Ludewig, Vice President of OEM, EMEA at Geotab. “Our partnership with Hyundai provides our customers with instant access to high-quality vehicle data, from precision safety metrics to critical battery insights. By removing the barriers of hardware installation, we are helping fleets improve their operational efficiency and safety while simplifying the transition to an electrified future.“
“Our collaboration with Geotab brings Hyundai fleets a seamless, hardware-free telematics experience that turns factory-fitted data services and connectivity into tangible value. From 10-second GPS to predictive maintenance and deep EV insights, operators gain a clearer, faster and more actionable view of their vehicles — all activated remotely and ready to scale.” added Marcus Welz, CEO Hyundai Connected Mobility.
The Geotab Integrated Solution for Hyundai is available across more than 40 European markets, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Ireland, among others.*
