GPS tracking for Panama City fleets, from the Vía Centenario to the container ports

Panama City fleets work around peak-hour holds on heavy equipment on the Vía Centenario, haul to ports that handle mostly transshipment containers, and answer to a national personal data law. Connect a compatible tracker to Traxelio, add its SIM, and follow each vehicle with its trips, stops and the zones you draw.

Premium 29 USD / vehicle / month

Until a compatible tracker sends data, you have no current vehicle position, trips or alerts to review in Traxelio.

Local landmarks

A Panama City route is easy to describe and hard to prove

You know the landmarks. Traxelio shows when each vehicle reached them, how long it stayed and which route it took.

Route brief Panama City
  • Vía Centenario

    Draw a zone on a section to date each pass.

  • La Pesa, La Chorrera

    Draw a zone on the holding point to time each stop.

Set up a zone around each landmark (Vía Centenario and La Pesa, La Chorrera) to get an alert when a vehicle arrives or leaves, then replay the day's trips.

From live map to daily review

Heavy trucks on the Vía Centenario

From 20 April 2026 the transit authority ATTT restricts heavy equipment on the Vía Centenario from 05:00 to 07:00 and from 17:00 to 19:00, holding cargo vehicles bound for the capital at La Pesa in La Chorrera and outbound vehicles at Centennial, in front of Altaplaza, according to TVN and La Prensa. Traxelio does not hold these hours, but a zone at each holding point dates every stop in the trip history.

Holding stops dated

Ports that are mostly transshipment

Panama's ports moved 7,605,946 TEU in the first nine months of 2026, 3.2% more than a year earlier, of which 6,741,757 TEU was transshipment and 816,809 TEU local traffic, according to Panama Maritime Authority figures cited by PortNews; La Estrella de Panamá reported 1.8% growth for the first half. A zone at your yard and one at a terminal gate give each haul's departure, arrival and wait.

Terminal runs timed

Telling drivers about location data

Panama's Law 81 on personal data protection was published on 29 March 2019 with entry into force set for 29 March 2021, and Executive Decree 285 of 28 May 2021 regulates it, according to the National Assembly's legal database and the Official Gazette record. Agree with your drivers what you collect and why before vehicles start reporting. Traxelio does not provide legal advice.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Premium costs 29 USD per vehicle per month; the pricing page shows the plan. Hardware is extra and depends on the model, unless your existing tracker passes the model check.

Possibly. Check fit before assuming: the connect page takes the IMEI, looks up the model, and only then do you add a SIM with mobile data.

No. The hours and holding points are not in Traxelio and no vehicle is checked against them. A zone at each point records when a truck stopped and left, and you compare that with the rule yourself.

Yes. With a tracker in the truck, a zone at the depot and one at the terminal gate, the trip history gives each run's departure and arrival and the stops between them.

Say what is recorded, for what purpose and who has access before any vehicle starts reporting. Traxelio does not provide legal advice.
