Integrated telematics for Europe’s e-mobility boom: Meeting rising demands for smarter data, diagnostics, and fleet tracking

E-mobility is moving fast — and not just on the roads. As fleets shift to electric, companies face new challenges that standard telematics can’t always solve. From compact e-bikes to high-voltage machinery, the industry needs smarter, more tailored solutions.

At Navixy, we stay close to these trends to help our customers adapt and grow with the right technology. We’ve recently expanded our ecosystem with Teltonika’s FTC305—and its variant, FTM305—purpose-built devices for electric mobility that, together with our platform, deliver the data, diagnostics, and control this industry demands. Here’s how it makes a difference.

E-mobility market growth: More than just EVs

The e-mobility market across the UK and EU is a rapidly evolving reality, transforming urban logistics, last-mile delivery, shared mobility, and even warehouse operations.

According to various sources, the European e-bike market is estimated to reach over $45 billion by 2032, growing at up to 14.6% annually (Compound Annual Growth Rate, or CAGR, a standard measure for compounded yearly market growth). Meanwhile, commercial fleet electrification and EV fleet management systems are expected to double or triple in value over the next decade, driven by low-emission zones, government incentives, and corporate sustainability mandates.

These figures reflect the ongoing explosion of demand for micro-mobility solutions across urban and suburban environments. For businesses and manufacturers operating in this space, telematics is becoming the key to unlocking greater efficiency, visibility, and value.

E-mobility needs smarter tracking: Introducing Teltonika FTC305 and FTM305

To meet the growing demands of the e-mobility sector, Navixy has partnered with Teltonika to support two EV-optimized trackers:

• The FTC305, designed for LTE Cat 1 networks
• The FTM305, a variant for LTE Cat M1 designed for North America

These trackers go beyond basic GPS tracking, offering deep integration capabilities across voltage systems, vehicle types, and installation scenarios. Key features include:

• CAN bus access and digital I/O support for live data on battery health, motor performance, and energy systems, critical for e-mobility use cases
• Advanced features like Green Driving, towing alerts, jamming detection, and configurable input/output monitoring
• Network flexibility. FTC305 supports LTE Cat 1 for stable, wide-area communication; FTM305 provides LTE Cat M1 connectivity for low-power, IoT-oriented deployments
• 10–97 V power range, suitable for small EVs and industrial machines
• IP67-rated casing for reliability in dusty, wet, or high-vibration environments
• No-casing variant with external antenna and extended battery life, ideal for OEM integration directly into e-bike frames during production

Why smarter tracking matters in e-mobility

Electric vehicles come with different needs than their gas-powered predecessors — and legacy tracking systems often fall short. Here’s why smarter tracking is essential:

1. Power systems vary — a lot

EVs operate across a wide range of voltages, from 10 V in small scooters to nearly 100 V in industrial equipment. Most traditional GPS trackers are built for 12/24 V systems and can’t handle higher voltages or fluctuating loads. This mismatch often results in device failure or limited compatibility across a fleet.

2. Battery health is everything

Batteries are the single most expensive and failure-prone component in EVs. Their condition directly affects performance, uptime, and safety. Without CAN-level visibility into battery status, temperature, and charge cycles, operators risk sudden breakdowns, shorter battery life, and increased operating costs.

3. EV fleets are anything but uniform

Fleet managers often deal with mixed assets: e-cargo bikes, converted utility carts, or factory-integrated EVs from different vendors. These vehicles vary widely in size, design, and electronics. A flexible tracker — one that can be embedded into frames or mounted externally — is needed to support both OEM integration and aftermarket installs.

4. Environments aren’t always friendly

Many EVs operate in tough conditions: forklifts in dusty warehouses, delivery scooters exposed to rain, or service vehicles facing vibration and debris. Trackers with low ingress protection ratings fail quickly in these settings. IP67-rated enclosures, like in the FTC305, are necessary for long-term reliability.

5. Unpredictable city networks and limited satellite visibility

Urban environments present real signal challenges: GPS shadowing from buildings, dropped signals in underground parking, or inconsistent cellular coverage. Devices must be able to maintain communication and positional accuracy in these conditions. LTE Cat 1 offers better resilience for mobile use than 2G/3G or NB-IoT.

What is more, FTC305/FTM305 belong to the latest generation of Teltonika solutions for telematics, FT platform devices. Its GNSS module can connect to up to 41 visible satellites simultaneously, providing a more accurate track and addressing the issue of urban canyons.

6. Compliance and reporting are now part of the job

Many cities and regulators now require detailed reporting on EV fleet operations — including energy usage, mileage, and service intervals. Without automated data from the vehicle's systems, gathering this information is time-consuming and prone to error. A smart tracker with CAN integration turns raw data into usable reports.

At this point, the FTC305 and FTM305, in pair with Navixy, can help fleet operators and manufacturers stay ahead by knowing where vehicles are and understanding how they’re performing. It enables real-time diagnostics, supports preventive maintenance, and ensures that vehicles are kept in service and compliant with evolving standards.
