The TorchX 310 is a plug-and-play OBD-II GPS tracker built for easy fleet deployment and individual vehicle use. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the TorchX 310 delivers CAN-bus telemetry, real-time tracking, BLE sensor support and built-in driver alerts so fleet managers get precise location, vehicle diagnostics and behavioral data without complex installation.
The compact device connects directly to the vehicle OBD-II port and reads VIN, true odometer, fuel level, diagnostic trouble codes (DTC), ignition status and other CAN parameters. With LTE Cat-M1 connectivity (with NB2/2G fallback where applicable), internal multi-constellation GNSS and BLE 5.0 for accessory pairing, the TorchX 310 provides reliable telemetry and secure reporting suitable for Plaspy-based fleet management, anti-theft workflows and usage-based insurance (UBI) programs.
Key Highlights
- Plug-and-play OBD-II installation for fast rollouts and minimal downtime.
- Plaspy compatible for seamless real-time tracking, reporting and dashboarding.
- Direct CAN-bus reads of VIN, odometer, fuel level and DTCs for accurate telemetry.
- BLE 5.0 support to pair temperature sensors, door sensors, wireless relays and key fobs.
- LTE Cat‑M1 connectivity with NB2/2G fallback and worldwide band coverage for global fleets.
- High-frequency updates (configurable down to every 3 seconds) and 49,000 point buffer for reliable offline logging.
- Driver safety features with crash detection, harsh driving event monitoring and an internal buzzer for in-cab alerts.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the TorchX 310 sends vehicle GNSS and CAN-derived telemetry into your Plaspy instance using standard transport protocols. Plaspy ingests location, VIN and diagnostic data to produce live maps, automated reports and alerting workflows for fleet management, anti-theft monitoring and driver behavior analysis.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates (configurable reporting intervals, down to 3 seconds).
- Vehicle state: VIN, true odometer, fuel level and diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) from the CAN bus.
- Ignition status and driving behavior: harsh acceleration, harsh braking, sharp turning, speeding and crash events.
- Buffered data: up to 49,000 location points stored when out of network coverage and forwarded to Plaspy when connectivity resumes.
- BLE accessory integration: temperature sensors, door sensors, wireless relays and key fobs for extended telemetry and remote control scenarios.
- Secure transports: TCP/UDP/MQTT/SMS reporting with MD5 and AES128 encryption options to protect telemetry in transit.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
Choosing the TorchX 310 as a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker delivers a practical mix of vehicle-level telemetry and modern connectivity. Its OBD-II integration gives you accurate VIN, odometer, fuel level and DTC information without additional wiring, while LTE Cat‑M1 connectivity and a large offline buffer maintain continuity for real-time tracking and fleet management. BLE 5.0 support extends telemetry with temperature and door sensors or wireless relays for immobilization and access control, and the internal buzzer provides immediate in-cab warnings to help reduce reckless driving.
For operations running Plaspy, the TorchX 310 offers dependable data flows (TCP/UDP/MQTT/SMS), encryption choices (MD5, AES128) and over-the-air firmware updates to keep devices secure and up to date. That combination makes the TorchX 310 a reliable, scalable choice for organizations seeking a compact GPS tracker that balances CAN-bus diagnostics, real-time tracking, anti-theft alerts and BLE sensor integration under a Plaspy-enabled management platform.
