Using CAN data

The Heavy Truck Electronic Interface Group (Daimler, MAN, Scania, DAF Trucks, IVECO, Volvo Trucks and Renault Trucks) have designed a common interface called FMS, as an open standard to obtain CAN data from the heavy commercial vehicles.  This FMS interface offers valuable information for transport companies, such as engine revolutions, engine running hours, distance to next service in kilometers, total fuel used and speed.  Aplicom offers you accessories to collect the available FMS data.

The truck manufacturers have also agreed to have a common connector for the FMS-interface / remote download. The FMS-connector is however not a compulsory accessory and therefore not always installed. Even if the connector is in place there is no certainty that the wanted data is available.  In such cases Aplicom is able to provide this data to your back-end system by using an inductive and contactless CAN-reader.
