If you’re running EVs, you already know the pain: RUC compliance, odometer updates, and admin chasing. BONNET fixes that with OEM hardware-free connections – so your fleet can stay compliant without a single device install.
What “hardware-free” actually means
No boxes. No wires. No installs. BONNET connects directly to the vehicle manufacturer using a simple consent flow. Once connected, we pull odometer data straight from the OEM – so your RUC tracking just works.
Now supported: Tesla, BYD & Mercedes-Benz
These are the most common EVs in NZ fleets – and now they’re fully supported by BONNET’s OEM Connect:
- Tesla
- BYD
- Mercedes-Benz
Why this matters for RUC
RUC is built on one thing: accurate distance. If your odometer isn’t up-to-date, everything else falls over.
- Odometer data is automatically updated
- RUC tracking stays accurate
- Compliance admin drops dramatically
- Your fleet stays on the road, not stuck in spreadsheets
The consent flow (fast + secure)
- Choose OEM Connect in BONNET
- Select your vehicle brand
- Complete the consent (takes minutes)
- Your odometer data syncs automatically
Hardware-free is the future
It’s cleaner, faster, and more reliable than physical hardware – and it’s exactly how modern fleets should run.
