CAREU - U1 PLUS

The CAREU U1 PLUS is a robust GPS tracker purpose-built for fleet management, heavy trucks and commercial vehicle deployments. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the U1 PLUS delivers reliable real-time tracking and rich vehicle telemetry over LTE Cat 4 / Cat 1 with fallback to 3G and 2G, making it an ideal GPS tracker for mixed-network environments and large-scale fleet operations.

Designed to integrate directly with Plaspy, the U1 PLUS brings OBD II / CAN interpreter support (J1939 and J1708), advanced fuel monitoring, multi-sensor expandability and driver behaviour detection into a single device. Whether you need precise fuel monitoring, video-capable installations, or secure telematics for anti-theft and smart city projects, this Plaspy compatible tracker scales to meet the demands of commercial fleets and specialized vehicle solutions.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker with LTE Cat 4 and Cat 1 connectivity for high-throughput real-time tracking and telemetry.
• Direct OBD II / CAN interpreter (J1939, J1708) — reads fuel level, odometer, RPM and engine temperature for accurate vehicle telemetry.
• Support for ultrasonic fuel sensors and analog/1-Wire temperature sensors for precise fuel monitoring and cold-chain management.
• 6-axis accelerometer for driver behaviour monitoring: harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, impacts and flip-over detection.
• Extensive connectivity options: GPS/GLONASS/QZSS (with optional BDS/Galileo), LTE/UMTS/HSPA/GPRS/EDGE, SMS, FTP and USSD.
• Multi-sensor expandability via RS-232 and optional RS-485 — connect dash cams, RFID readers, barcode scanners and fatigue sensors.
• Anti-theft and security features including eCall (112), GPS antenna tamper detection, power low/power lost alarms and GSM jamming detection (2G/3G).
• Remote management with FOTA (firmware updates over FTP) and optional AES-256 data encryption for secure deployments.

How It Works with Plaspy

When paired with Plaspy, the U1 PLUS streams location and vehicle telemetry to the Plaspy platform using cellular links (LTE/3G/2G) or SMS/FTP/USSD as fallbacks. Plaspy ingests and normalizes CAN/OBD data, accelerometer events and sensor inputs so fleet managers receive consolidated, actionable data for real-time tracking, alerts and historical reporting.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates via LTE Cat 4/Cat 1 with fallback to UMTS/HSPA and GPRS/EDGE.
• Vehicle telemetry from OBD II / CAN: fuel level, odometer, RPM, engine temperature and other J1939/J1708 parameters.
• High-accuracy fuel monitoring using ultrasonic sensors and analog/1-Wire temperature sensors for cold-chain visibility.
• Driver behaviour and safety events from the 6-axis accelerometer (harsh driving, impacts, flip-over).
• Geofence events (circular and polygonal), power loss/low power alarms, antenna tamper and GSM jamming alerts forwarded to Plaspy.
• Accessory telemetry and video integrations via RS-232/RS-485 (dash cams, RFID, barcode scanners) for enriched monitoring and surveillance workflows.
• Wireless configuration and local pairing on supported models via Bluetooth; optional Wi‑Fi and internal hotspot on 4G Cat.4 variants for local access and video offload.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management and logistics: real-time tracking, RPM and odometer telemetry for route optimization and maintenance planning.
• Fuel monitoring and anti-theft: ultrasonic and OBD-derived fuel readings combined with tamper, jamming and power-loss alarms for fuel monitoring and security.
• Cold-chain transport: analog and 1-Wire temperature sensors for continuous temperature logging and alerts during refrigerated deliveries.
• Video transmission and surveillance: dash cam and DSC camera support via RS-232/RS-485 for live or recorded video linked to positional data.
• Specialized heavy vehicle deployments: garbage truck collection control, school/coach safety monitoring, agricultural asset tracking and smart city mobility projects.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The CAREU U1 PLUS delivers a balanced combination of connectivity, vehicle-level telemetry and expandability that makes it a strong choice for Plaspy-compatible deployments. Its built-in OBD II / CAN interpreter means you get trusted engine and fuel metrics without complex gateway hardware, while support for ultrasonic fuel sensors and temperature probes adds the precision required for cold-chain and fuel-sensitive operations. Anti-theft protections — from antenna tamper detection to GSM jamming alerts and eCall support — improve security posture for high-value fleets.

For fleet managers using Plaspy, the U1 PLUS reduces integration time by transmitting comprehensive telemetry over standard cellular protocols and offering FOTA for field maintenance. Optional AES-256 encryption, Bluetooth configuration and Wi‑Fi hotspot options on 4G models provide deployment flexibility across vehicle types and use cases. In short, the U1 PLUS is a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed to scale from single-vehicle anti-theft projects to enterprise fleet management with multi-sensor telemetry, video and advanced reporting.
