OBx — plug-in telematics you can use in any country.
OneRoad + OBx gives you global-ready telematics: live tracking, maintenance, mass readiness and driver activity. Each kit ships with a data SIM for your region and works wherever your freight runs.
Fuel Tax Credit (FTC) automation is currently available for Australian fleets only. All other OneRoad features — tracking, maintenance, mass readiness and driver logs — are available globally.
Fleets on every continent. One platform.
Whether you’re running trucks across Europe, moving containers in North America or doing regional haulage in Asia, OBx connects your vehicles to the same OneRoad platform.
We supply and manage the data SIMs for your country or region, so you don’t have to deal with separate telco contracts. You focus on your freight — we handle the connectivity.
Global 4G & GSM coverage.
OBx uses the VL502 4G module, optimised for broad global coverage across key LTE and GSM bands — combined with regional data SIMs tailored to your country.
Coverage summary
Optimised for fleets operating in and between major cities and regional hubs.
Ideal: Urban and regional freight routes using mainstream carriers.
Note: Some very remote areas and specialist bands may require specific carriers or may not be covered.
We work with you to select carriers that suit your country or region. If your operations are heavily remote, ask us to check expected performance along your key corridors.
Technical bands (VL502)
LTE-FDD 4G bands
| Region | LTE Bands |
|---|---|
| Americas (USA, Canada, LatAm) | B2 / B4 / B5 / B66 |
| Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa | B3 / B7 / B8 |
| Asia-Pacific (AU / NZ) | B28 |
GSM fallback
GSM: B2 / B5 (Americas & Asia-Pacific), B3 / B8 (Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa)
Not present: B1 (Europe/Asia primary), B12/B13/B17 (USA rural), B20 (Europe 800 MHz). OBx is a cost-effective global device with strong coverage, not a 100% band-complete solution.
What OBx + OneRoad gives your fleet.
OBx turns your vehicles into live data feeds for OneRoad. You see vehicle movement, driver behaviour and maintenance status in one place — from any country.
🛰️ Live GPS tracking
See where each vehicle is right now and where it has been. Filter by country, depot, region or vehicle type.
⚙️ Engine & utilisation data
View ignition, movement and utilisation patterns to manage idle time, unauthorised use and fleet efficiency.
🛠️ Maintenance & defects
Digital pre-starts and defect records, plus service schedules by distance, time or engine hours. Export clean reports for your workshop or partners.
⚖️ Mass readiness
Use OBx alongside your mass sensors or weighbridge records to build a digital history of loads, combinations and routes.
😴 Driver activity & logs
Drivers log work, rest and breaks in the OneRoad app, linked to real vehicle movement from OBx for stronger audit evidence in your country.
🔔 Alerts & exports
Get alerts for offline devices, missed maintenance and unusual movement. Export CSV/PDF for internal reporting or your existing systems.
How your team uses OneRoad
Anyone in your organisation who needs access can download the OneRoad app and log in using their mobile number. You control roles and permissions from the dashboard.
- Drivers: start/end shifts, log breaks and note issues
- Supervisors: see live location and basic trip status
- Maintenance: manage defects and service schedules
- Management: see utilisation, routes and trends across countries
Fuel Tax Credit automation is available for Australian fleets. Outside Australia, you can still export rich OBx/OneRoad data to support your local tax, fuel and compliance reporting.
Order from any country, install in under a minute.
OBx is built to ship, plug in and run — without traditional hardware projects, installers or multi-year contracts.
Choose how many OBx units you need
Pick how many vehicles you want to equip. You can start with a pilot and scale up as you prove the value.
Place your order & pay one month upfront
You pay the first month of subscription per device (AUD $93 per vehicle per month as a base price). This secures your order and triggers packing your OBx kits, including data SIMs selected for your country.
We ship OBx kits to your country
We dispatch your devices with tracked international shipping. Each kit includes the OBx unit, data SIM, quick-start guide and QR code for setup.
Open the box & scan the QR code
Your team opens the box, scans the QR code with any smartphone and:
- Installs the OneRoad app and/or opens the activation page
- Creates your OneRoad organisation account (or links to an existing one)
- Follows the simple on-screen setup steps
Plug OBx into the OBD/diagnostic port
Find the diagnostic port, push OBx in firmly and secure it with the supplied cable-tie. The device draws power from the vehicle and connects via the included data SIM — nothing else to install.
Assign vehicles & invite your team
In the OneRoad dashboard you add vehicles, link each OBx device and invite drivers and staff via SMS or email. They log in with their mobile numbers and you’re live.
Subscription starts on delivery
The month you paid up front is applied from the date your devices are delivered and activated. You’re not billed for time while devices are in transit or sitting in a warehouse.
Pricing at a glance
* Conversion is an estimate based on recent FX rates. All subscriptions are billed in Australian dollars (AUD). Your bank or card provider may apply its own FX rates and fees.
Device cost
Low, once-off hardware fee per OBx unit, billed in AUD and displayed in your local currency at checkout.
Subscription
Per active device, per month. Includes OneRoad platform access, OBx connectivity, regional data SIM, driver app and core analytics. Advanced modules (mass, AI features, compliance extras) can be added later.
No lock-in
Cancel any time. If you stop, simply unplug OBx and your subscription ends at the end of the billing period.
Who OBx is perfect for.
OBx is ideal for fleets in any country that want serious data and visibility without the complexity and cost of traditional telematics.

Growing small & mid-size fleets
Fleets that have outgrown spreadsheets and simple GPS trackers, but don’t want a six-figure, multi-year telematics project.
- Owner-drivers with multiple trucks
- Family fleets & regional carriers
- Specialised freight operators
OEMs, dealers & partners
Vehicle manufacturers, distributors and technology partners who want a plug-in telematics option they can ship into any supported market.
- Pre-fit OBx at delivery

Frequently asked questions.
Can I use OBx in my country?
In most cases, yes. OBx supports LTE and GSM bands across the Americas, Europe, much of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. We supply data SIMs tailored to your country or region. If you have very remote routes or unusual carrier requirements, contact us and we’ll check expected performance.
What trucks is OBx compatible with?
OBx is designed for heavy vehicles and light commercials with a compatible diagnostic port (OBD-style or equivalent). If your trucks already support telematics or diagnostic devices, OBx is usually a plug-in alternative.
Do I need a mechanic or installer?
No. OBx is designed as a DIY install: open the box, scan the QR code to set up the app and account, find the diagnostic port, plug in and secure the device with the supplied cable-tie.
How do drivers and staff access OneRoad?
Anyone in your company who needs access can download the OneRoad app and log in using their mobile number. You control permissions and assign vehicles in the web dashboard so drivers, supervisors, maintenance and management all see what they need.
How is OBx billed internationally?
All OBx subscriptions are billed in Australian dollars (AUD). The FX selector on this page gives you an approximate price in your local currency, but your bank or card provider will set the final exchange rate and any fees.
Do you support Fuel Tax Credits (FTC) outside Australia?
Fuel Tax Credit automation is currently available for Australian fleets only. However, OBx and OneRoad still deliver rich movement, utilisation and location data that can support your own tax and fuel reporting in any country.
Can OBx integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. We can provide APIs and data feeds so OBx and OneRoad data flows into your existing TMS, ERP or BI stack. Tell us what you’re using now and we’ll help map out an integration path.
Ready to use OneRoad + OBx in your country?
Tell us where you operate and how many vehicles you want to equip. We’ll confirm coverage, data SIM options and pricing, then ship OBx kits directly to your depot.
