Detailed Review
VDO Fleet comes from the company that makes the digital tachograph itself: the DTCO, standard equipment in EU trucks, is a VDO product, and VDO Fleet is built to pull data straight from it — automated tachograph management, remote downloads and real-time vehicle visibility — rather than integrating with it as a third party. The platform also covers workshop and calibration services and EV charging hardware for fleets transitioning away from diesel.
VDO Fleet is operated by AUMOVIO Germany GmbH, based in Frankfurt am Main and registered in Hanover (HRB 3669) — the automotive technology business spun out of Continental as an independent, stock-listed German company in 2025. The site states more than 25,000 fleets and 300,000 vehicles already on the platform, and pricing runs by quote rather than a published rate card.
What VDO Fleet does well
- Built by the maker of the DTCO digital tachograph
- Automated remote tachograph download at the source
- Workshop, calibration and EV charging services included
- Over 25,000 fleets and 300,000 vehicles on the platform
- German company, independent since the 2025 Continental spin-off
Where VDO Fleet falls short
- No published pricing; quote only
- Recently spun off, so the corporate structure is new
- Positioned mainly at compliance-heavy transport, less at light commercial fleets
Standout feature. Tachograph data pulled at the source by the company that makes the DTCO itself, not integrated after the fact.
