GPS Tracking in Brazil

GPS Fleet Tracking for Latin America's Largest Market

Brazil is Latin America's largest economy with a road freight sector transporting 65% of all goods nationally (Source: ANTT 2024). The Port of Santos, Latin America's busiest, handles 4.8 million TEU annually (Source: Port of Santos Authority 2024). With over 35 million registered vehicles and cargo theft exceeding $1.5 billion annually on Brazilian highways (Source: NTC&Logistica 2024), GPS fleet tracking is essential. From the congested streets of Sao Paulo to the agricultural heartland of Mato Grosso, Traxelio provides comprehensive fleet management solutions for Brazilian enterprises.

Common Challenges

Without GPS Tracking

Sao Paulo traffic congestion

Greater Sao Paulo, with 22 million people, averages 180+ km of daily traffic jams (Source: CET-SP 2024). Fleet operators lose an estimated 40% of productive time to congestion, making route optimization critical for business survival.

Cargo theft on highways

Brazil recorded 22,000+ cargo thefts in 2023, with losses exceeding R$8 billion (Source: NTC&Logistica 2024). The BR-101 and BR-116 highways are hotspots. Criminals target trucks carrying electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food.

Fuel fraud and siphoning

Fuel represents a significant operating cost for Brazilian fleets. Unauthorized fuel usage, siphoning, and falsified receipts create substantial financial losses for fleet operators.
