HCV5
Advanced all-in-one GPS tracker for complex fleet, trailer, and refrigerated transport solutions.
The most advanced tracker built for complex solutions
HCV5 is an advanced Ruptela GPS tracker for complex logistics fleets handling long-haul, refrigerated cargo and trailers. HCV5 supports compliance-driven operations with remote tachograph access, driver behavior monitoring, and full visibility across vehicles, trailers, and cargo in demanding transport environments.
Precise GNSS location monitoring
U-blox GNSS module supporting GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo, with an optional external antenna and Cell ID fallback when satellite signal is unavailable.
4G+2G connectivity
Future-ready LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT connectivity, with 2G fallback where 4G is not available.
Dual CAN & K-Line data reading
Two CAN interfaces and K-Line read data from heavy and light commercial vehicles, including proprietary manufacturer parameters, error codes, and tachograph data.
Custom CAN
Expand compatibility beyond the supported list and read CAN data from any vehicle, giving you the flexibility to better support your clients.
Remote tachograph download
Download tachograph files remotely without manual intervention, saving time and simplifying compliance with driving time regulations.
Bluetooth LE 5.1
Wireless connection to fuel, temperature, door, and ID sensors, enabling faster installation with less wiring. Custom BLE enables simple integration of new BLE devices.
Extensive I/O interfaces
4 digital inputs, 4 analog inputs, 4 digital outputs, 1-Wire and 3 serial ports connect fuel sensors, refrigeration units, RFID readers and other external equipment.
Easy installation
Compact 101 × 74 × 23 mm screwless housing, tailored harnesses, wireless solutions and concealed OBD installation, supported by dedicated installation tools.
Security & data protection
Tampering and jamming detection, TLS v1.2 encrypted data transfer, and an internal backup battery keep data and vehicles protected.
Smart features
Built-in accelerometer with impact detection and up to 32 GB of data storage, so no data is lost.
Remote tachograph data reading
HCV5 reads tachograph data remotely, without manual intervention. Fleets stay compliant with driving time regulations without taking vehicles off the road, saving time and reducing administrative work.
Real-time monitoring of fleets and cargo
Live location and status of vehicles and cargo, with instant alerts on critical events.
Fleet efficiency optimization
Detailed vehicle data from CAN and K-Line supports smarter routing, maintenance planning, and lower operating costs.
Driver behavior monitoring
Captures harsh braking, acceleration, cornering, and speeding to support driver education and safer driving.
Driver, vehicle and cargo safety and security
Driver identification, remote ignition blocking, tamper and jamming detection protect people, vehicles and goods.
Fuel monitoring
CAN fuel data and fuel level sensors track consumption and refueling, helping prevent fuel theft.
Cargo conditions monitoring
Refrigeration unit data and temperature sensors keep sensitive cargo within range.
Trailer tracking
Trailer identification, location, and EBS data give full visibility of every trailer on the road.
Customizable with accessories
Wired and wireless sensors, harnesses, and ID solutions adapt HCV5 to each fleet and project.
Accident reconstruction data recording
Accelerometer data with impact detection records incident data for accurate investigation.
