Build a connection module for 60 trucks before the supplier window ends

You’re the hardware / mechanical / manufacturing engineer. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 14, 2026.

Heavy-duty emissions data needs broader access without turning every installation into a custom job.

Fleet managers need dependable vehicle records while installers need a connection path they can repeat and service.

Who you’d be doing this for

“I’m getting asked for the same compliance record on every truck, and half the time I’m chasing it across different systems.”

Dina Sabbagh · Fleet Manager

Manages a California heavy-duty fleet that needs consistent vehicle records across multiple truck makes.

What is at stake

A 60-vehicle pilot must capture required emissions signals on at least 95% of installed vehicles. You must weigh broader vehicle coverage against a connection module installers can build, qualify, and service at rate.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • vehicle coverage vs repeatable installation
  • signal access vs vehicle-safe connections
  • pilot speed vs supplier qualification
  • field flexibility vs serviceable standardization

Why Motive

Gateway installations across mixed commercial fleets depend on repeatable access to vehicle networks, not one-off connections.
