Fleet systems fail when the cab hardware is an afterthought
A fleet platform is only as good as the hardware reporting into it. PDS covers the two hardware layers. In the cab, a mounted terminal runs the driver workflow — jobs, navigation, messages and, on the Pro models, camera recording that produces evidence when something happens on the road. Across the rest of the fleet, PB001 and PB002 4G trackers provide the continuous position and trip playback the office needs for vehicles that do not justify a full terminal. The company describes its commercial vehicle locator box as customisable to each fleet's needs, which suits fleets whose reporting rules differ by contract.
Which vehicles get a terminal, which get a tracker
Vehicles whose drivers receive jobs, capture signatures or run compliance workflows earn a terminal. Vehicles that simply need to be locatable — trailers' prime movers on simple work, pool vehicles, equipment carriers — earn a tracker and a lower monthly argument. Many fleets run both layers on one platform. When you plan the mix, count the human workflow first and the vehicle count second; hardware follows the workflow, and the trackers fill the visibility gaps the terminals leave.
- Cab terminals for jobs, navigation and driver workflow
- Four-camera recording on Pro models for road evidence
- PB 4G trackers for position and trip playback
- Terminals and trackers planned as one fleet system
- Tracker configuration customisable per fleet, per the company
The driver-facing end of the fleet system
For fleet operations, the T8 Pro brings a 8" IPS, 1280 x 800, brightness 750 cd/m2 or higher, fully laminated multi-touch and runs Android 11 / Android 13 on Qualcomm QCM6125, octa-core 64-bit at 2.0 GHz (Kryo 260 CPU, Adreno 610 GPU). Its positioning fit is Qualcomm built-in GNSS module; optional RTK module UM982, and the interface side reads: Four simultaneous camera recording channels; DP connector x1 for a DP display (dual-screen display with different content); 23PIN connector x1 function extension interface; SMA antenna port for the LTE antenna. That is why it appears in this shortlist: the combination matches the data and connections this work actually uses, in a housing specified for 9-36 V DC input (ISO 7637-II); IP66 sealing; operating temperature -20 to +70 C.
For fleet operations, the T10B brings a 10.1" IPS, 1280 x 800, brightness 750 cd/m2 or higher, fully laminated multi-touch and runs Android 13.0, or Linux kernel 5.15 with QT 5.15 (optional) on 64-bit octa-core Cortex-A55 at 1.8 GHz, GPU ARM G57 MC1. Its positioning fit is GPS + BeiDou module (optional fit); RTK module UM982 or UB982 (optional), and the interface side reads: 26-pin function expansion port; expansion combinations in the T10 family pattern (camera, CAN, RS232, Ethernet — confirm the exact set for your build). That is why it appears in this shortlist: the combination matches the data and connections this work actually uses, in a housing specified for 9-36 V DC input (ISO 7637-II); IP66 sealing; operating temperature -20 to +70 C.
Planning a fleet hardware rollout
Divide your fleet by workflow before asking for prices: which vehicles need a driver screen, which need only tracking, and which platform will host the data. Confirm tracker fit per vehicle class, platform connection arrangements, and minimum order quantities and lead times for a phased rollout.
