Mobility keeps your business moving
Mobility involves at least two of your most important production resources: your people and your vehicles.
24/7 overview
V-tron’s Connected Car software ensures that you have a 24/7 overview of the status of your vehicle fleet and its movements. This provides a sense of security for your drivers, who know that they can always count on you during their work.
V-tron is an innovative company that specialises in developing and marketing hardware and software to improve mobility. Connected Car is our product that gives you complete insight into all relevant data relating to your objects (car, van, lorry, trailer, motorbike, boat, electric cargo bike, e-bike, etc.). This allows you to see in real time who is driving an object, where it is located, what its speed is and whether the temperature of the air-conditioned space is still correct.
Better efficiency reduces costs
Connected Car saves you money and time and allows you to optimally manage and control your logistics processes. Greater efficiency in deployment leads to increased productivity. The information provided by our software allows you to discuss matters such as vehicle use or reducing fuel consumption with your drivers. Our tax module simplifies filing tax returns. Our alarm response system also gives your drivers that extra feeling of security on the road, knowing they are connected to their own company.

Expand your fleet management step by step
The V-tron product line has a logical structure, allowing you to build your fleet management system according to your own insights and needs. With our main product, Connected Car you can gain insight into the who, what, where and when of your vehicles. The additional Driver Safety module informs you about how your vehicles are being used by your drivers. With our special Carsharing module, you can easily deploy your existing fleet more efficiently so that you need fewer vehicles, but still offer optimal mobility.

OUR FEATURES AT A GLANCE:
AUTORISATION
Connected Car can be configured to display certain (or all) information for each authorised user.
This is useful if you use the software extensively, but the logistics manager only needs to see the lorries, while your overall manager needs to have insight into all vehicles. This way, employees are not distracted by information that is not essential to them, while a total comparison at branch or company level remains possible.
CO2 REPORTS
Connected Car can be used for the mandatory CO2 reporting that will apply from next year to companies with more than 100 employees.
Emissions can be tracked per journey and per object, making it easy to report business and private emissions. This feature is also useful for smaller companies to engage in corporate social responsibility and make mobility more sustainable.
MAINTENANCE NOTICE
Connected Car can be configured so that a notification can be sent for each object based on the actual distance travelled when the object is due for maintenance.
The manufacturer’s intervals or your own settings can be used as a guideline. This is useful because regular maintenance leads to fewer unplanned downtimes and therefore higher productivity.
CRASH WARNING
Connected Car is able to send a notification to the desired recipient by email or text message in the event of an accident involving your vehicle.
Our special G-sensor measures G-forces exerted. If the G-force is too high, a crash notification is sent so that help can be called as quickly as possible. This feature gives your employees the extra assurance of rapid assistance and attention.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
With additional hardware, Connected Car can monitor the tyre pressure of your vehicles.
This is safer for employees and saves fuel. Tyres that are too soft lead to extra wear, higher fuel consumption and different driving behaviour. The tyre pressure sensor constantly monitors the pressure of the tyres and this can be shown in the report. Of course, you can also set it up so that you receive a signal in the event of deviations.
DOOR OPEN/CLOSE DETECTION
Connected Car can monitor when a vehicle door or tailgate is opened.
This is useful for courier services, for example. You can prove that you dropped off the customer at their doorstep. Or for companies where multiple employees get in and out at unconventional locations, such as contractors who pick up and drop off employees. The function monitors every open/close action of doors and tailgates.
PERSONAL RIDES
Connected Car can be configured so that drivers only have access to their own journeys, even if these take place in different vehicles.
Useful for raising awareness of driving behaviour, but also for tax returns. They will not see their colleagues’ data (GDPR-compliant). Make your drivers aware of their driving behaviour, planning and other matters that are important to your company. Our separate tax module simplifies your tax returns.
FISCALE REPORTING
Connected Car can be easily used to generate a comprehensive tax report and submit it to the tax authorities.
This report naturally complies with tax requirements. The report can be generated per vehicle. This makes it easy to calculate the additional tax liability – or, conversely, to avoid it by not making any private journeys – without any additional administration.
AUTOMATIC REPORTING
Connected Car can be configured to generate periodic reports.
Of course, you can set up these automatic reports yourself and determine their content. You can choose one or more vehicles, one or more drivers, specific regions, etc. For example, you can view weekly journeys or journeys outside working hours. This is useful for inspection, checks or discussions.
GEOFENCING
Based on time and GPS signal, Connected Car can not only track your vehicle, but also alert you when a pre-set “limit” is exceeded.
You will be notified by email or text message if, for example, the national border is crossed, an environmental zone is entered, or a vehicle is taken from a business park. You will be notified of any movements outside the set times or zones. This is also useful in the event of theft.
GROUPING
In Connected Car, vehicles can be grouped by type, function, use or any other selection and then clearly displayed with a colour in Live View.
This is useful if, for example, you have cars, vans and lorries in your fleet. Not every vehicle can be used for every type of transport, but you can still quickly send the nearest suitable vehicle to a customer.
MANUAL REPORTS
Connected Car enables you to generate a report at any time you choose, covering any time period you choose.
Here, you can determine the parameters and the desired time span yourself. You can choose one or more vehicles (or by vehicle type) or one or more drivers, a specific region, and so on. Always useful for inspection, checks, or discussions.
HISTORIC RIDES
Connected Car makes it possible to view all journeys made per driver per day per vehicle.
Having multiple drivers on one vehicle is therefore not a problem. Additional tax liability can be avoided by keeping track of private journeys. This is made easier by adding the private/business switch (P/B) to the dashboard. Our separate tax module makes filing tax returns very easy.
HISTORIC SPEED
Connected Car enables you to retrospectively read the speed of a vehicle.
This is useful, for example, when discussing safe and responsible driving behaviour with your driver. If you regularly receive fines for speeding, this feature can also have a preventive effect on drivers who know they are being monitored. Our latest software compares the speed driven with the speed limit at that location.
BATTERY STATUS
Connected Car makes it possible to receive timely warnings about the poor “health” of an object’s battery (car, van, lorry, trailer, motorbike, boat, electric cargo bike, e-bike, etc.).
You will receive an email or text message reporting the problem, so that your driver is not confronted with unplanned downtime due to a flat battery. This feature continuously monitors your battery.
PRESENT SPEED
Connected Car enables you to read the current speed of a vehicle.
This feature can be useful, for example, to discuss safe and responsible driving behaviour with your driver. If you regularly receive fines for speeding, this feature can also have a preventive effect on drivers who know they are being monitored. Our latest software compares the speed driven with the speed limit at that location.
INTERNAL BACK-UP BATTERY
Our service also offers the option of connecting an extra battery to our systems, so that the system continues to send signals for several days after disconnection, even in the event of a power failure or theft of the vehicle.
Even if the battery is disconnected by third parties, our location tracker will remain active for several days, making it easier to trace objects both at home and abroad.
ID-READER / RFID-READER
Our systems can be activated with the tags supplied by us, but also with tags or identity cards that are used in your company for other purposes, such as opening doors or logging into systems.
Our special software only reads the necessary characters from the (RF)iD key for individual reports. This means that a separate tag for the vehicle is no longer necessary.
LIVE LOCATION
Connected Car enables you to track your vehicles live.
This is useful if, for example, you have a courier company and want to call the nearest driver for an urgent job. Fast communication, fast service, satisfied customers. In emergencies, you can also quickly see where your employee is located so that help can be provided quickly. Safer for your employees during their work.
LIVE VIEW
Connected Car enables you to closely monitor your vehicles. Not in a “Big Brother” way, but to give your drivers a sense of security and reduce the administrative burden.
The V-tron platform shows you the most recent location of your vehicle. The position of the object is updated every minute (the page every 20 seconds). If your object is moving, this will be displayed here.
PANIC BUTTON
Our track & trace systems can be equipped with a panic button that the driver of the vehicle can use in an emergency.
The panic button alert can be sent via email or text message to any recipient, so that help can be called in as quickly as possible. Installing a panic button is quick and easy and can give your employees that extra sense of security.
POI (POINT-OF-INTEREST)
In Connected Car, fixed landmarks can be recorded, such as your own location(s) or the address(es) of special business relations.
If a vehicle is near a POI, you can see this on Live View. This is a useful feature if multiple fixed locations need to be visited regularly. Of course, stops at POIs, including the driver on duty, can also be included in a report.
PRIVATE/BUSINESS SWITCH
Using a private/business switch (P/B) on the dashboard, it is possible to record whether each journey is for business or private purposes.
By making this selection in the vehicle, it does not need to be processed in the administration afterwards. You can easily split the journeys by vehicle, driver, and day according to usage. This is useful for the tax returns (see tax reports) of the company and employees.
RIDES OUTSIDE WORKING HOURS
Connected Car can also record journeys outside working hours.
This allows you to easily set fixed times for work trips and times for non-business trips – for example, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. and/or on weekends – for each vehicle. This is useful for discussing with drivers if vehicles are used excessively outside of working hours. With our tax module and the P/B switch, you can assist your employees with their tax returns.
STATIONAIR DETECTION
Connected Car can monitor whether a vehicle’s engine is running unnecessarily while the object is not moving.
It is useful to discuss reducing fuel consumption with your driver. A report can be used to detect excessive behaviour (costs/wear and tear). Combined with door open/closed detection, you can reduce the risk of unnecessary theft, as no one is present in the vehicle, but the engine is still running.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING
Our systems can monitor the temperature in specific areas within the vehicle using a sensor.
This is useful if you provide temperature-controlled transport that must be carried out at a predetermined temperature. The temperature sensor constantly monitors the temperature, which can be displayed in the report. Of course, you can also set it up so that you receive a signal in the event of deviations.
REGULAR STOPS
Connected Car can monitor where stops are made.
If you have fixed stops where you need to stop regularly, you can record these in the software. This makes it easy to see whether an object (car, van, lorry, trailer, etc.) has made all its “stops” on a fixed route, for example. This feature can prevent discussions with customers or employees afterwards.
