Consumption and fuel

Analyze instant and cumulative consumption, available level, refills and unusual variations to detect losses, diversions or possible fuel theft.

Engine data

Check RPM, temperature, operating hours, mileage and other parameters available depending on the make, model and protocol of the vehicle.

Driving analysis

Combine CANBUS data with GPS trips, idling, acceleration, braking and usage times to improve operational efficiency.

What is CANBUS data reading?

CANBUS is the internal communication network that a vehicle's electronic units use to exchange information. Where the model and the installation allow it, Vigilo collects that data and presents it in a clear, readable form in the fleet management platform.

The information available depends on the make, model, year, ECU and connection method. On commercial vehicles the FMS interface can also be used.

Data your company can obtain

  • Fuel consumption and tank level.
  • Mileage reported by the vehicle.
  • Engine revolutions and idling time.
  • Temperature and running hours.
  • Speed, ignition status and other compatible parameters.
  • Alerts, reports and vehicle-by-vehicle comparisons.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about CANBUS data reading

What data can Vigilo read via CAN bus?

Depending on the vehicle and the connection installed, it may include consumption, fuel level, RPM, mileage, temperature, engine hours, idling and other parameters.

Can CAN bus data be used to monitor fuel?

Yes. It allows consumption and variations to be analysed and can be combined with level sensors.

Is it compatible with all vehicles?

Not all vehicles expose the same data. We check the make, model, year and available protocol.

Can it be combined with GPS tracking?

Yes. CANBUS data is linked to routes, positions, usage times and events.

Does Vigilo work with FMS on trucks?

It can be integrated with compatible FMS connections, subject to technical validation.

Can I receive alerts?

Yes. Alerts and reports can be configured based on the data available.

In summary

What data can Vigilo read from a vehicle's CANBUS?

Where the vehicle and the installation are compatible, CANBUS reading provides technical data such as mileage, fuel level and consumption, RPM, engine temperature, running hours and other parameters available on the vehicle network.

  • Helps you compare real consumption, refuelling and possible fuel losses.
  • Lets you analyse driving, idling and engine utilisation.
  • The data available depends on the make, model, year, interface and configuration.
  • Can be combined with GPS, sensors and FMS to extend fleet control.
