ERoad has launched the ERoad Asset Tracker, a weatherproof product that tracks trailes, equipment and other powered assets on the same platform that customers use to manage their fleet.

ERoad’s Asset Tracker product line is launching with the ETrack Wired device, which offers 4G connectivity, IP66 weatherproof enclosure, internal antennas for GPS and wireless, and a built-in accelerometer. Any 12- or 24-volt power source runs the unit and charges the battery. Devices last up to six months on battery power alone, when not being charged, at one ping per day.

The ERoad Asset Tracker delivers accurate data on asset locations, enabling fleets to automate yard checks, simplify reporting of miles travelled or engine time by asset to ensure timely preventive maintenance, provide proof of service reporting, monitor and report accurate detention time.

“We are helping our customers achieve even better control over their fleet and operations, giving them a single dashboard to monitor and manage all of their vehicles, and now also their powered assets -whether tractors, trailers, or construction equipment,” said Norm Ellis, President of ERoad North America.
