You can start today! With Connect API there is no need for additional onboard hardware. Data is reachable via Volvo Cloud and provides access to several important operational data parameters. Connect API is a subscription service and the fee covers API updates.
Volvo collects, processes and converts connected vehicle data into a standardized format, providing better possibilities to integrate into fleet management systems in a multi-brand fleet scenario and achieve interoperability.
Never miss a thing. Volvo provides two full weeks of data history, ready for use in proprietary or third-party applications. A useful feature for follow up and backtracking.
| Data available in the cloud via HTTP-based REST API |
| Volvo Telematics Gateway (TGW). No customer hardware needed. |
| 14 days’ data history available via pull request |
| ACEA rFMS + extended data set |
| Activated over the air |
| Monthly subscription cost/vehicle |
Connect API comes in three different versions. Diesel, Electric and a dedicated version for energy storage data.

Volvo Buses encourages and supports customers and third-party suppliers to develop services using Volvo vehicle data. The way to do this is described in our developer portal, where you can also access various tools and explore more of the possibilities with fleet management connectivity from Volvo. In the Developer portal, you find all guides, instructions and technical documentation for the Connect APIs.
APIs are used by developers to enable computer programs to communicate with each other over the internet. A computer system can use a line of code to send a request to the API, for instance, to get the GPS position of a specific bus. The API will then respond with a set of data to be used by the receiving system.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. APIs are used by developers to enable computer programs to communicate with each other over the internet, thereby enabling system-to-system communication.
Yes, the API services are based on the rFMS standard (from ACEA) but also includes Volvo Buses proprietary data content. The API is a HTTP-based REST API and offers both Accumulated (Life Of Vehicle) and Snapshot data fetched via pull requests.
Yes, Volvo Buses offers 14 days of data history from when it was generated in the vehicle.
