Tracking vehicles, real fuel consumption and CO₂ use

Cut fuel costs. Reduce emissions. Boost utilisation.

Postrack now provides more than live location and trip history. Geotab GO9B device reads data directly from the vehicle to deliver real fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions, and odometer readings in a single solution.

This means your vehicles sit alongside containers, trailers, and equipment in Postrack, with location, fuel consumption, and CO₂ data that are factual, not estimated.

GPS tracking with real fuel and emissions data

Many fleets already track location. Few know the true cost of running vehicles. With Geotab GO9B, Postrack combines GPS tracking with genuine vehicle performance data sourced directly from the vehicle’s systems, without relying on averages or assumptions. 
 
  • Live GPS location and full trip reconstruction
  • Actual fuel consumption from engine data
  • Automatically calculated CO₂ emissions based on real usage
  • Accurate odometer and distance readings

Powerful fleet insights

GO9B is Geotab’s advanced telematics device, offering reliable GPS and vehicle data via the diagnostic port over LTE, with multi-satellite support for accurate location across regions.

It provides global GPS tracking, trip history, and reads engine, fuel and odometer data. Supports analysis of idling, usage, and driving behaviour. Expandable with IOX add-ons. Data flows automatically into Postrack after installation.

Turn data into measurable savings

Combining GPS, fuel and emissions data delivers immediate operational impact. The result is higher productivity and better use of existing capacity.

Lower fuel costs
Identify excessive idling, inefficient routing and vehicles with abnormal consumption.

Reduce CO₂ emissions
Use verified, automatically calculated emissions data for reporting and reduction initiatives.

Increase utilisation
See how often vehicles are actually used. Rebalance underutilised assets rather than adding new ones.

Remove blind spots
Get alerts for abnormal usage, unauthorised trips or unexpected fuel behaviour.

Simple deployment at scale and total fleet visibility

Postrack is designed for fast rollout across transport, construction, service and rental fleets. The Geotab GO9B plugs directly into the vehicle’s diagnostic interface, with no splicing, external antennas or complex installation. Vehicles appear automatically in Postrack, and there are no new systems to learn. Fleet managers, finance teams and sustainability owners all work from the same verified data.

Postrack unifies vehicles with GPS, fuel, CO₂ and odometer data, alongside trailers, containers and equipment. Alerts, reports and utilisation analytics are available on one platform, making hidden capacity visible and helping you operate more efficiently.

FAQ – GPS, fuel and CO₂ tracking with Postrack

Is Geotab GO9B a GPS tracker?
Yes. The GEOTAB GO9B is a GPS tracker with GNSS support, offering live vehicle location, trip history, movement data, and fuel and emissions insights.

How does Postrack get real fuel consumption data?
Fuel data is read directly from the vehicle’s systems via GEOTAB GO9B, not from distance or averages.

How are CO₂ emissions calculated?
CO₂ emissions are automatically calculated from real fuel consumption data and standard emission factors, providing consistent, auditable results.

Can I combine vehicle data with trailer and equipment data?
Vehicles using Geotab GO9B appear on the same Postrack platform as the rest of your assets, such as containers, trailers, and machines.

Is the installation complicated?
No. The Geotab GO9B connects to the vehicle’s OBD port, and data flows into Postrack automatically, requiring no manual work. For trucks and other heavy-duty or off-highway vehicles, a wide range of OBD harnesses is available.

Key benefits

  • Lower fuel costs through factual insight
    Real fuel consumption data reveals idling, inefficient routes and vehicles that use more fuel than expected. You reduce waste based on facts, not averages.
  • Accurate and credible CO₂ reporting
    CO₂ emissions are calculated from actual fuel use, not estimates. This delivers trustworthy data for sustainability reporting, customer requirements and regulatory compliance.
  • Higher vehicle utilisation and capacity control
    You see how vehicles are actually used. Underused vehicles become visible, allowing you to rebalance capacity rather than add more vehicles.
  • Better operational decisions and accountability
    Verified data removes disputes between operations, finance and sustainability teams. Routing, fleet size and investment decisions are based on a single shared source of truth.
  • Stronger cost control and profitability
    Fuel and emissions are among the largest variable costs in fleets. Tracking real consumption enables continuous optimisation, improving margins without operational disruption.
