TrackSpeed: The Only Combined Speed Limiter and GPS Tracking System
Most fleet operators need two things from their vehicles: speed control and visibility. Speed limiters ensure vehicles do not exceed safe or legal maximum speeds. GPS tracking provides real-time location, journey history, driver behaviour data, and fleet management capability. Traditionally, these have been two separate products from two separate suppliers — two devices, two installations, two subscriptions, and two sets of wiring in every vehicle.
TrackSpeed eliminates this duplication entirely. It is the only product on the market that combines a type-approved speed limiter with full GPS fleet tracking in a single, integrated device. One unit, one installation, one subscription, one supplier. It is designed and manufactured by AutoKontrol, part of Scorpion Group Holdings, which also manufactures ScorpionTrack Fleet — one of the UK’s leading GPS tracking and fleet management platforms.
No other company offers this combination, because no other company has both speed limiter and GPS tracking engineering under one roof.
What TrackSpeed Includes
Speed Limiter
TrackSpeed incorporates AutoKontrol’s proven Drive-By-Wire speed limiter technology. The speed limiting function is identical in capability and certification to our standalone DBW Speed Limiter:
- EU/ECE R89 type-approved — fully compliant for mandatory speed limiter requirements on HGVs and PSVs
- Speed accuracy of +/- 1 km/h — precision closed-loop control
- CAN bus integration — clean interface with the vehicle’s electronic systems
- Tamper protection — electronic sealing, fail-safe design, tamper-evident hardware
- Software-configurable speed settings — adjustable without physical modification
- 12V and 24V compatible — suitable for all commercial vehicle electrical systems
GPS Fleet Tracking (ScorpionTrack Fleet)
TrackSpeed integrates the ScorpionTrack Fleet GPS tracking platform, providing a comprehensive suite of fleet management tools:
Real-time vehicle location — see every vehicle in your fleet on a live map, with position updates at configurable intervals. Know exactly where your vehicles are, at all times.
Journey history and route replay — access complete journey records for any vehicle over any date range. Replay journeys on a map to understand routing, stop patterns, and time at each location.
Driver behaviour monitoring — automatic scoring of driver behaviour based on speeding events, harsh braking, rapid acceleration, harsh cornering, and excessive idling. Identify drivers who need additional training and reward those who consistently drive well.
Geofencing and alerts — define geographic zones and receive automatic notifications when vehicles enter or leave them. Use geofences for depot monitoring, customer site arrival alerts, unauthorised area warnings, and more.
Fuel consumption monitoring — track fuel usage across the fleet and identify vehicles or drivers with unusually high consumption patterns.
Maintenance scheduling — set service intervals based on mileage, engine hours, or calendar dates. Receive automatic alerts when vehicles are due for maintenance.
Comprehensive reporting — generate detailed reports covering fleet utilisation, driver performance, journey summaries, speed compliance, and operational efficiency. Reports can be scheduled for automatic delivery by email.
Web portal and mobile apps — access the full ScorpionTrack Fleet platform through any web browser or through dedicated iOS and Android mobile applications.
Why Integration Matters
The value of TrackSpeed goes beyond simply packaging two products into one box. The integration between speed limiter and GPS tracker creates capabilities that are impossible with separate devices.
GeoKontrol: Location-Based Speed Control
The most powerful capability unlocked by TrackSpeed’s integrated design is GeoKontrol — automatic, GPS-based speed zone management. Because the speed limiter and GPS tracker share hardware, firmware, and data, the system can automatically adjust the vehicle’s maximum speed based on its geographic position.
Fleet managers define speed zones through the ScorpionTrack Fleet web portal by drawing areas on a map and assigning speed limits to each zone:
| Zone Example | Speed Limit | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Depot yard | 5 mph | Pedestrian safety |
| Loading bay approach | 5 mph | Manoeuvring safety |
| Industrial estate | 15 mph | Site speed policy |
| Residential delivery area | 20 mph | Community safety, noise reduction |
| School zone (timed) | 20 mph | Child safety during school hours |
| Construction site | 10 mph | Site safety compliance |
| Open road default | 56 mph | Legal HGV maximum |
When a vehicle enters a defined zone, the speed limit changes automatically. When it leaves, the limit reverts to the next applicable zone or the default maximum. The transition is smooth and progressive. Drivers are informed via a dashboard-mounted indicator.
There is no limit to the number of zones. National fleet operators typically configure zones for all depots, distribution centres, regular customer sites, and any other locations with specific speed requirements.
This capability is exclusive to TrackSpeed. No combination of separate speed limiter and GPS tracker can achieve automatic, location-based speed control because the two devices cannot communicate with each other at the hardware level.
For fleet operators who want GPS-based speed control but do not need a full speed limiter installation, our GeoKontrol 2 provides standalone IoT geofenced speed management — no telematics system required.
Unified Compliance Data
TrackSpeed logs all speed limiter events alongside all GPS tracking data in a single platform. This means fleet managers can see, in one place:
- Whether the speed limiter is functioning correctly on every vehicle
- Any instances where a driver reached the speed limit
- Speed compliance within GeoKontrol zones
- Journey and location data correlated with speed limiter status
This unified data set is valuable for DVSA compliance audits, health and safety reporting, customer contract compliance, and insurance claims defence. Instead of pulling data from two separate systems and attempting to correlate it manually, everything is available in a single report.
Reduced Total Cost
The financial case for TrackSpeed versus separate systems is straightforward:
| Cost Element | TrackSpeed | Separate Speed Limiter + Tracker |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware units | 1 | 2 |
| Installation visits | 1 | 1-2 |
| Installation time | 2-3 hours | 3-5 hours |
| Installation cost per vehicle | Lower | 30-50% higher |
| Monthly subscription | 1 (combined) | 2 (separate) |
| Support contacts | 1 | 2 |
| Invoices to process | 1 | 2 |
| Contract renewals | 1 | 2 |
Over a typical 5-year vehicle lifecycle, the total cost savings of TrackSpeed versus separate systems typically amount to 30 to 50 percent.
Simplified Vehicle Wiring
One device means one set of wiring connections to the vehicle’s power, CAN bus, throttle, and antenna systems. Separate devices each require their own connections, doubling the wiring complexity and increasing the risk of electrical conflicts, connector failures, and diagnostic fault codes. When a wiring problem does occur with separate systems, each supplier tends to blame the other’s installation — a situation that TrackSpeed eliminates entirely.
Who Should Choose TrackSpeed?
TrackSpeed is the right product for fleet operators who:
- Need both speed limiting and GPS tracking — whether speed limiting is mandatory (HGVs, PSVs) or voluntary (vans, delivery fleets)
- Want location-based speed management — GeoKontrol zone control for depots, sites, school zones, and residential areas
- Value simplicity — one device, one supplier, one subscription, one support contact
- Need comprehensive fleet data — a single platform covering speed compliance, location, driver behaviour, and operational efficiency
- Operate medium to large fleets — where the per-vehicle savings and administrative simplification compound across the fleet
If you only need speed limiting without GPS tracking, our standalone DBW Speed Limiter, SENT Speed Limiter, or System 80 may be more cost-effective. For GPS-based speed zone control without a full speed limiter installation, GeoKontrol 2 provides a standalone IoT solution.
