When Tradition Meets
Technology: Kugelmann, the specialist in winter road maintenance equipment, will be relying on GPSoverIP’s GPSauge winter road maintenance telematics solution going forward. With this move, the Bavarian manufacturer is now offering its customers a complete solution combining spreading technology and digital winter road maintenance management—from hardware to software, all from a single source.

For decades, Kugelmann has been synonymous with robust and well-engineered winter service machines—from precision spreaders to snowplows and sweepers. Now, the portfolio is being expanded with a digital upgrade: the telematics systems from GPSoverIP, specially developed for municipal and commercial winter service operations.

The combination of Kugelmann spreaders and the GPSauge winter service module enables users to manage operations and their fleets professionally—including real-time tracking, spreading data collection, operational planning, communication, and legally compliant documentation. This allows public works departments, municipalities, and service providers to maintain a clear overview at all times:

• Which roads have already been cleared or treated 
• What amounts of grit and materials were used
• Where each vehicle is currently located

Integration is straightforward via the RS232 interface on the spreader’s control panel. This allows spreading data—such as spreading width, spreading volume, or brine concentration—to be directly combined with GPS location data and automatically documented in GPS-Explorer, the central online platform.

The result: greater efficiency, less effort, and full transparency in winter road maintenance—digital, precise, and compatible across all manufacturers.

“We share Kugelmann’s commitment to developing technology for professionals that works reliably in the field—even under the harshest conditions,” says Dirk Jurleit, Head of Sales at GPSoverIP. “Together, we’re creating a solution that perfectly combines machine intelligence and telematics.”

Kugelmann and GPSoverIP—a strong team for clear roads.

GPSoverIP brings AI-powered voice control to professional telematics, enhancing safety, convenience, and efficiency behind the wheel. 

“Hey, GPSauge” is still in the beta phase; the rollout is expected to take place in calendar week 50. Users don’t need to do anything—the update will be installed automatically as soon as it’s available.

With the new voice assistant, the GPSauge TAB driver display can be operated entirely by voice. Whether it’s navigation, order status, or reporting back to headquarters: a short voice command is all it takes, and the system responds.

Want some examples?
“Hey, GPSauge, plan a route to Hamburg with stops in Hanover and Bremen.” “Hey
, GPSauge, mark order 47812 as completed.”
“Hey, GPSauge, call Dispatch.” “Hey
, GPSauge, how do you make pancakes?”

Hands-free, focused, efficient

Voice control was developed specifically for the demands of fleet and transport management. Instead of tapping on the display while driving, drivers can now simply complete their tasks using voice commands—quickly, intuitively, and without being distracted from the road.

That means:

• Full concentration on the road—
  hands stay on the wheel, eyes on the road.
• Less stress, more comfort—
  no menus, no cumbersome inputs.
• More efficient workflows:
  Orders, status updates, and navigation changes are processed immediately.
• Direct communication:
  Messages are sent, received, or read aloud without disrupting the flow of the drive.
• Fewer sources of error:
  Complex order numbers or addresses are recognized correctly.

The digital copilot in everyday driving

What has long been standard in modern passenger cars is now making its way into professional telematics with “Hey, GPSauge”: voice control tailored to the real-world workflows of drivers, dispatchers, and fleet managers.

GPSoverIP – Progress in Motion.

2025 is the year when dashcams will truly become smart. Today, dashcams are much more than just cameras: they analyze driving behavior, provide comprehensive documentation of events, and help fleet managers take legally sound action in the event of accidents. Thanks to current data protection guidelines, video recordings from road traffic can be used as evidence in the future, provided they are used transparently and in a data-minimalist manner.

GPSoverIP is setting new standards in this area: GPSoverIP’s AI-powered dashcam immediately detects risky behavior, fatigue, or distraction and links videos with vehicle data—such as position, speed, and engine RPM—with millisecond precision. Typical events include, for example, lane changes, failure to maintain a safe following distance, abrupt braking, or erratic steering. This takes the pressure off drivers, as the documentation is objective and protects against false accusations.

The dashcam is fully integrated into the GPSauge system: driver analytics, route management, driving and rest periods, expense reporting, and remote downloads—all from a single source.

​Evidence preservation, training, internal error management, and data protection-compliant use go hand in hand.

Benefits at a glance:

• Support in investigating insurance claims
• Relief in liability matters
• Foundation for internal safety and training management
• Compliant with EU data protection regulations
• Combination of video and vehicle data for maximum insight

Looking for a parking spot on the highway? For many truck drivers, it’s a daily nuisance. Especially in the evening, when rest areas are crowded and the legally mandated rest period is approaching, finding a safe place to park becomes a challenge.

With its new TruckParking service, GPSoverIP is now expanding its navigation and route planning features to include a smart tool that makes life easier for drivers and dispatchers alike.

Real-time data along the route for better planning
TruckParking displays available parking spots along the planned route, including current occupancy data for public rest areas. This allows drivers to see early on where there are still open spots and plan their breaks more effectively. Dispatchers benefit from a transparent overview and can plan routes more realistically—taking into account mandatory rest periods and actual parking options.

Bookable Premium Parking Spaces
In addition to public parking areas, the app also displays certified, bookable premium parking spaces that offer greater safety and comfort. These spaces can be reserved directly, eliminating the need for time-consuming searches and the risk of not finding a spot.

Directly Integrated into Navigation and Telematics
TruckParking is fully integrated into existing route planning and navigation. Drivers don’t need to open an additional app: parking lot search, navigation, and vehicle data all come together in a single system—efficient, clear, and practical.

With this enhancement, the navigation feature becomes an even more powerful tool for drivers and dispatchers: less stress, more planning certainty, and greater safety on the road.

With the new maintenance module, GPSoverIP is expanding its telematics platform to include another tool for predictive maintenance and precise fault detection—suitable for trains, buses, trucks, and passenger cars.

The module is demonstrated in the latest YouTube tutorial using a rail vehicle as an example. The video clearly illustrates how technical anomalies are automatically detected and analyzed. The principle works exactly the same way for road vehicles: Abnormal tire pressures, oil or temperature readings, malfunctions in the trailer, or other relevant vehicle parameters and technical anomalies are automatically detected and immediately analyzed.

This enables repair shops and maintenance managers to respond in a timely manner, prevent breakdowns, and plan maintenance more effectively.

Since the module is individually tailored to the existing telemetry data of each fleet, activation is coordinated with customer support. Together, we review which data is available and how the module can be optimally integrated.

Dear Customers,

As part of our ongoing system monitoring and technical analyses, two vehicle-related issues have been identified in recent weeks that affect data transmission in certain Mercedes-Benz models. Both cases involve communication via the FMS interface and the connection of the digital tachograph.

These notes are intended to provide technical clarification, as the observed deviations are not caused by the GPSoverIP system or platform, but rather byvehicle-related factors.

1. Connection Issue with the Mercedes-Benz E-Actros (E600 Platform, 2025 Series)

In vehicles of this model series, it was determined that there was insufficient factory-installed wiring in the area of the tachograph connection.
After analyzing several cases, a cable harness that was too short was identified; furthermore, it was connected to the wrong branch of the vehicle’s wiring harness. This results in faulty or missing contact with the digital tachograph.

As a result, remote download via the FMS interface cannot be triggered correctly because the vehicle-side signal connection is interrupted.
If you operate one of these models in your fleet and notice irregularities in tachograph data transmission, this is most likely the underlying cause.
Our Customer Support team will be happy to assist you with the technical diagnosis and, upon request, can arrange for a prompt diagnostic procedure.

2. Transmission Errors at the FMS Interface (Mercedes-Benz Actros, 2024 model year and later)

In addition, a vehicle-side baud rate error affecting the driver information transmission parameter has been identified in newer Actros models.
Specifically, the driver identification number is currently not being provided correctly via the FMS interface. This issue is currently being investigated by Daimler Truck AG in Stuttgart.
According to the manufacturer, a software update to correct the relevant control unit is in the works. As soon as it is available, GPSoverIP will notify its customers immediately.

Until this vehicle update is available, GPSoverIP is providing a validated interim solution that enables the collection of the relevant data points via an alternative, inductive data acquisition point. This ensures that the data integrity of the systems remains intact despite the vehicle-side limitations.

Our customer support team is, of course, available to answer any questions or clarify specific cases.
