What Is CAN Data?
Your vehicles hold a wealth of data inside their onboard computers — everything from fuel consumption to engine diagnostics. GMT Connect’s Data-Rich Vehicle Data solution taps directly into the Controller Area Network (CAN bus) to give you real-time access to that critical information.
Unlike basic GPS tracking, CAN data allows fleet owners to monitor true vehicle performance, predict issues before they happen, and optimize costs across every mile.
