The G18 is a slim, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed for vehicle and fleet management teams that need compact hardware with practical telematics features. Combining GSM (2G) connectivity, GPS positioning, a built-in antenna and multiple onboard sensors, the G18 delivers real-time tracking and driver-behavior alerts in a low-profile package ideal for everyday fleet operations and Usage Based Insurance (UBI) programs.
The G18 2G 4PIN 55MAH Light Sensor unit supports tamper and vibration alarms, collision reports, and remote petrol/electricity cutoff functionality (remote immobilizer), helping fleets reduce theft risk and gain actionable telemetry. When integrated with Plaspy, the G18 provides consistent location updates, event-driven alerts, and contextual data to improve routing, compliance, and operational visibility.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for real-time tracking and fleet management dashboards.
- Driver behavior monitoring with alerts for rapid acceleration, harsh braking, sharp turns, and collision reports—useful for UBI and safety programs.
- Built-in tamper/disassemble alarm and vibration alarm to detect unauthorized access or impacts.
- Remote petrol/electricity cutoff (remote immobilizer) to support anti-theft response and asset recovery workflows.
- Slim, compact design with built-in antenna and light sensor for discreet installation in vehicles.
- Cost-effective 2G GSM connectivity suitable for broad deployment where 2G coverage is available.
- Onboard battery (55 mAh) for short backup operation and graceful reporting on power loss events.
How It Works with Plaspy
Integrating the G18 with Plaspy brings live position feeds, telemetry and event alerts into a single fleet management platform. Plaspy ingests the G18’s periodic GPS fixes and event packets, normalizes telemetry, and makes driver behavior and safety alerts available in dashboards, reports and rule-based notifications.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates sent from the G18 to Plaspy for mapping and playback.
- Tamper/disassemble and vibration alarms forwarded as immediate alerts to fleet operators.
- Driver behavior events—rapid acceleration, harsh braking, sharp turns—logged for UBI scoring and coaching workflows.
- Remote immobilizer (petrol/electricity cutoff) commands can be initiated from Plaspy where operational policy and wiring permit.
- Collision reports and impact events delivered to Plaspy for rapid incident handling and follow-up.
