Efficient fuel management is one of the key success factors for businesses in a wide range of industries. Whether you run a small delivery service or manage a large fleet, effective management of fuel consumption is essential to control costs, reduce environmental impact and remain competitive.
To address these challenges, Teltonika Telematics offers several solutions to meet the different needs of the fleet telematics industry. For direct access to vehicle data, fuel monitoring can be achieved using CAN bus data. For the simplest installation, OBD devices can be a solution. For trucks, we recommend fuel monitoring with level sensors for an effective solution. According to the 2022 Fleet Technology Trends Report, companies using GPS tracking reported a 10% reduction in fuel costs.
Fuel monitoring using CAN bus data – one of the possible ways to monitor fuel levels is to read fuel levels from CAN, Controller Area Network. Fuel monitoring with this means tracking and analyzing data from a vehicle’s CAN bus to measure how much fuel it is using.

This solution is most often chosen by car-sharing providers. For example, Teltonika FMx130 series vehicle GPS trackers and CAN adapter combination, where service users are charged based on distance or time of use. This approach also ensures that vehicles are refueled promptly for the next user, minimizing service disruption due to empty tanks.
Teltonika CAN adapter allows users to control a range of vehicle functions, including central locking, closing the windows, switching the indicators on and off and unlocking the boot. Fleet managers can also monitor the status of the doors, parking brakes, and car lights.
For those who do not require remote lock/unlock functionality, we recommend devices with an integrated CAN chipset, such as Teltonika FMB140 (2G) or FMx150 series (4G LTE). These devices are particularly useful in industries, such as construction or for monitoring heavy-duty vehicles.
