What Trailer Telematics Monitors

Where trailer tracking answers “where is my trailer?”, trailer telematics answers “what condition is it in and how is it performing?”. Our system brings the data that matters for safety, compliance, and uptime onto one dashboard:

Integrate with your existing systems, or start fresh

Integrate with your existing fleet dashboard

Already running a fleet platform? Our trailer telematics data can feed into your existing setup, whether the data comes from aftermarket devices or the OEM telematics already fitted to your trailers, so trailer insight sits alongside the rest of your fleet data rather than in a separate silo.

Start with a complete new setup

Starting from scratch? We provide the hardware and the platform as a turnkey solution, including rugged devices fitted to your trailers, and a single dashboard for location, condition, and performance, scaled to your fleet and ready to grow.

Trailer telematics from MICHELIN Connected Fleet

We bring location, condition, and performance into one intuitive dashboard, scaled to your fleet. See how UK operators work with MICHELIN Connected Fleet. Jaga Brothers, for example, saved £35,000 in fuel costs across its fleet of 42 trucks, as well as another £5,600 in tyre replacements on its 130 trailers, after partnering with us.

Trailer Telematics FAQs

What is trailer telematics?

+

Trailer telematics is technology that provides real-time information about trailer location, tyre pressure and temperature, braking efficiency, axle weight, and load status, giving fleet managers continuous visibility of each trailer’s condition and performance.

How does trailer telematics work?

+

Sensors and a GPS device on each trailer gather data, which is transmitted securely to the cloud and presented on a central dashboard, giving managers control of their assets from anywhere.

What is the difference between trailer telematics and trailer tracking?

+

Trailer tracking focuses on location and security, i.e., where a trailer is and whether it has moved. Trailer telematics goes further by adding condition and performance data such as braking, tyre pressure, weight, and coupling, so you can manage safety, compliance, and maintenance, not just location.

What are the benefits of trailer telematics?

+

It improves safety and compliance through brake and tyre monitoring, and lifts efficiency through better utilisation, proactive maintenance, and optimised routing, all of which lower costs.

Can trailer telematics integrate with my existing fleet system?

+

Yes. Trailer telematics data can feed into an existing fleet dashboard, using either aftermarket devices or OEM telematics already fitted, or be deployed as a complete new setup if you’re starting fresh.

Does trailer telematics support EBPMS and DVSA brake compliance?

+

Yes. Continuous electronic brake performance monitoring (EBPMS) provides DVSA-aligned brake data without roller-brake tests, alongside tyre-pressure monitoring for safety and compliance.

How much does trailer telematics cost?

+

Cost depends on the number of trailers, the hardware required, and the features you need (EBPMS, TPMS, cold-chain, integration). We tailor a plan to your fleet, so be sure to get in touch for a quote.
