When the telematics is already built in
Factory-fitted OEM telematics flow cloud-to-cloud into MyGeotab. No hardware, no downtime.
No Hardware or Installation Required
These manufacturers build the connection in at the factory. Geotab links to their clouds and the vehicles simply appear in MyGeotab — a sample of 37+ OEM integrations, growing every year.
Logos identify manufacturers with Geotab OEM integrations. Coverage varies by model year and trim — send us your vehicle list and we will confirm each unit.
How It Works
The manufacturer's built-in modem sends vehicle data to the OEM cloud. Geotab connects to it and your vehicles simply appear in MyGeotab.
Activation is remote, so new vehicles report from day one.
OEM-connected and GO-equipped vehicles live side by side with shared rules and reports.
Odometer, fuel, EV charge, and fault data, depending on make and model.
Turn on new factory-connected vehicles in bulk, remotely, without scheduling a single install.
Same platform, same protections
However a vehicle connects, its data lands in the same MyGeotab under the same access controls. MyGeotab is FedRAMP Authorized, ISO 27001 certified, and validated to FIPS 140-3 (cert #4875).
Which Connection?
Most fleets run a mix. Here is how the two feed the same platform, so you can match the approach to each vehicle.
Coverage and available data vary by manufacturer, model year, and trim. Send us your vehicle list and we will confirm exactly what each unit supports.
The one-question test
OEM integration and the GO device are not competitors; they are two connection types for different jobs. Everything that plugs into the GO device's IOX expansion port requires a GO device, full stop:
The GO Focus family connects through the IOX port and pairs to the GO device by serial number. No GO device, no camera.
NFC driver identification (who is driving which vehicle, with an optional authorized-driver list) rides on the IOX-NFCREADERA.
GO TALK delivers text-to-speech alerts in the cab, in five languages, using the same rules you already run.
Reefer temperature, tire pressure, and other CAN-connected hardware come through the IOX-CAN.
So the sort is simple: location, trips, and health ride the factory connection; cameras, driver ID, spoken alerts, or sensors need a GO device. Both land in the same MyGeotab, with the same rules and data protections.
Electrification
Factory-connected EVs report charge, range, and energy use with no aftermarket hardware, so an electric vehicle lands in MyGeotab the day it does, right beside your gas and diesel units.
Is OEM Right for You?
Vehicles arrive already connected. Skip the install queue entirely and see them the day they hit the lot.
Pool, rental, and take-home vehicles across regions, connected without ever bringing them in.
Going electric? Factory data brings EVs into MyGeotab with no aftermarket hardware, so electrification is not a second install project.
Fast-turning fleets rely on it: OEM telematics for rental fleets connects late-model units remotely, so a rental never comes off the road for an install.
A closer look
Newer vehicles already collect the data. We activate it into MyGeotab beside everything else.
Where each vehicle is and where it has been, on the live map.
Accurate mileage and run-time, straight from the vehicle, with no manual odometer readings to chase.
Fuel burn on combustion units, state of charge and range on EVs.
Engine and diagnostic trouble codes where the make and model report them.
The same speeding, geofence, and after-hours rules you run on GO devices.
Where the model supports it, odometer and fault data feed the same maintenance reminders.
Data out, too
Factory telematics feed MyGeotab, and Data Connector pushes it on to your BI tools.
Questions
Factory-fitted telematics that the manufacturer already builds into the vehicle, flowing cloud-to-cloud straight into MyGeotab with no hardware to install.
Yes. OEM-connected vehicles and GO-equipped vehicles live in one platform for a complete view.
Location and trips are solid on supported models. Deeper data such as odometer, fuel or EV charge, and fault codes depends on make, model year, and trim, while a GO device delivers the full, consistent data set plus the add-on ecosystem.
Yes. Many electric vehicles report state of charge and range straight from the factory hardware, which feeds EV suitability and charging reports beside your gas and diesel units.
Yes. The platform does not care how a vehicle connects, so you can add a GO device when a vehicle's job changes, say, when it needs a camera. We walk you through the switch details for your fleet.
Leading OEMs including Ford, GM, and Stellantis, with coverage that varies by model year and trim.
