Transport Certification Australia (TCA) has granted type-approval for the M404-72011260, a new telematics device from Michelin Connected Fleet (up to Level 2 assurance).
This telematics device, according to TCA, is not currently supported by a certified or registered Application Service Provider.
“This device cannot be used at this time for schemes offered through the Road Infrastructure Management (Level 1 assurance) or Telematics Monitoring Application (Level 2 assurance),” the TCA said in a statement.
Austroads General Manager Service Delivery, Paddy Goodall, said the device has undergone independent assessment and complies with performance-based requirements as per the Telematics Device Functional and Technical Specification.
“This process evaluates key aspects such as the device’s physical and environmental resilience, its ability to collect and generate records and its data security features,” he said.
Michelin Connected Fleet Country Manager, Franck Estoquié, said this type-approval is an important milestone.
“It reinforces our commitment to delivering reliable, compliant and high-performing data driven solutions that support our customers’ operational needs,” he said.
“This approval reflects the rigorous testing and innovation behind our technology and it strengthens our ability to help fleets operate more safely, efficiently and confidently on Australian roads.
“Obtaining TCA type-approval for the M404-72011260 exemplifies our dedication to rigorous testing and adherence to the highest Australian standards in telematics.”
Michelin Connected Fleet is reported to be progressing its submission to become a certified Application Service Provider to offer services through the National Telematics Framework during 2026.
TCA said that subject to the attainment of the certification, M404-72011260 telematics device may – in the future – be used for the Telematics Monitoring Application and the Road Infrastructure Management schemes offered through the National Telematics Framework.
