FTX305 – NEW E-MOBILITY TRACKERS FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
#teltonikatelematics, #corporatenews, #products
The public need to control CO2 emissions and the general focus on business sustainability are changing the telematics industry profoundly. While fuel monitoring and control remains one of the key reasons for fleet tracking, there is another type of transport that a telematics service provider should be ready to work with - electric mobility (e-mobility). The new Teltonika FTx305 series of GPS trackers is here to open up the possibilities of this rapidly growing market.
READY FOR CHANGING URBAN MOBILITY
According to Statista, the global electric vehicle (EV) market is expected to reach 1.08 trillion U.S. dollars by 2029. There are several factors behind this growth, including government subsidies, state CO2 emission norms and the drop in lithium-ion batteries’ cost. But these are not the only reasons why the urban mobility landscape is changing. A modern city offers a choice of mobility options, from e-bike and e-scooter sharing to electric buses, and strives to 'electrify' its maintenance services to be sustainable. Each of these transport types and machinery requires a tailored solution.
Teltonika's telematics division is keeping up with the trends and introducing a new addition to its e-mobility portfolio - FTC305 and FTM305 devices. Designed to read e-mobility CAN data, the GPS trackers allow the creation of a customised parameter database, simplifying integration with different types of e-mobility transport. 4G LTE Cat 1 or Cat M1 connectivity with 2G fallback ensures that the new models are suitable for any market and won't be affected by its gradual sunset. In addition, built-in usage scenarios, such as Green Driving and Crash Detection scenarios, make these innovative trackers a perfect solution for e-fleet efficiency.
Moreover, the improved positioning accuracy provided by the FT platform innovation allows Teltonika FTx305 series to track accurately even in urban canyons, areas surrounded by tall buildings with limited satellite coverage. It has never been easier to keep track of your e-mobility fleet so precisely.
DESIGNED TO FIT ANYWHERE
The e-mobility industry covers a wide range of use cases, from e-bikes and e-bicycles to industrial machinery monitoring, such as e-forklifts and e-city cleaning vehicles. While some of the business requirements, like battery level and health monitoring, will be relevant across the board, each use case is unique. Shared micro-mobility requires discreetly installed telematics devices to minimise the risks of e-bike and e-bicycle theft from outdoor parking areas. Meanwhile, industrial e-machinery is regularly used in harsh environments and demands a solution that can operate despite exposure to dust and water.
To meet all these requirements, our R&D team aimed to make the new e-mobility trackers as small as possible. FTx305 series devices are one of the smallest CAN bus reading trackers in Teltonika's portfolio and are easy to install in various transport means, even if the available space is quite limited. Even more, its IP67-rated casing makes it suitable for outdoor installation regardless of the weather conditions and seasons.
But there is more to it than that - the other choice of mounting option. Explore a unique 'no-casing' version of FTC305. Designed for OEM in-factory implementation, it can be neatly installed in e-bikes and e-bike frames with an external antenna for reliable connectivity and an external battery for uninterrupted tracking. Protected from the weather and discreet, the 'no-casing' GPS tracker is the right choice for e-mobility manufacturers offering native telematics.
BE A PART OF THE GREEN FUTURE
As many city authorities introduce new forms of urban mobility and companies switch to hybrids and EVs, telematics service providers need to have a solution ready to meet their changing needs. FTx305 series is designed to harness the potential of this growing market and is suitable for a wide range of use cases worldwide. We invite you to discover the new addition to Teltonika's e-mobility portfolio and be a part of the green future of the telematics industry.
If you would like to take advantage of the growing EV market and order the new FTC305 and/or FTM305 trackers, please contact the local Teltonika office or your account manager for more information.
