• An important milestone was triggered by a technological change. Up until this point, location tracking clients had been used on mobile devices, nevertheless this would change with the use of hardware-based telematics units. For the first time, tracking devices by the manufacturer Cellocator were installed into trucks in order to determine the tracking positions and send them to the FIS backend.
• In addition, these devices offered the option to use further sensors, such as temperature sensors or door lock controls. It did not take long to be able to use the connection to the vehicle's CAN as well.

• After the successful launch in Oldenburg, the control center of Osnabrück was also equipped with this technology.
