DCar-S Telematics Device
Our most complete telematics device, combining advanced car sharing and fleet management features.
Why Choose DCar-S?
The vehicle locks and unlocks via a mobile app or RFID badge, with no physical key. This completely eliminates key handovers, streamlines rentals, and enables fully self-service operation.
Each driver is automatically identified (badge, smartphone, or NFC), ensuring full traceability of vehicle use, preventing unauthorized borrowing, and simplifying shared fleet management.
Instantly view your vehicles’ position, activity, and alerts for more responsive day-to-day management.
The system blocks the vehicle from starting unless a valid booking is active or an authorized badge is detected on board. This prevents unauthorized use, theft, and unplanned departures.
Technical alerts and low levels (fuel, battery, vehicle anomalies, etc.) are detected and reported in real time. Combined with our predictive maintenance module, these alerts allow you to act earlier and prevent breakdowns during rentals.
The device automatically reports key data: mileage, trips, vehicle status, critical levels, and technical events. Maintenance and usage tracking become simple, reliable, and free of manual data entry.
Access an ecosystem of connected services, such as fine management and insurance renewal tracking, to enrich your fleet management.
