Classibus vs Motive

Fleet management beyond US trucking compliance.

Motive is built around ELD mandates, dashcams and US fuel cards. Classibus is built for fleets everywhere else: tracking on your own hardware, fuel, maintenance and accounting in one login.

Global-first
Multi-currency, multi-language, and pricing that respects your region, not a US-trucking add-on market.
Your hardware
Open-protocol trackers you already own, no proprietary gateway per vehicle.
Books included
Accounting, supplier ledger and cost centres in the product, not exported to yet another tool.

Pick Classibus if
  • • Your fleet operates outside the US, or isn't subject to ELD/FMCSA mandates at all.
  • • You want tracking, fuel, maintenance and accounting in one product with one per-vehicle price.
  • • Your vehicles already carry open-protocol GPS trackers.
  • • You'd rather self-serve than negotiate a hardware-plus-subscription quote.
Stay with Motive if
  • • You run US interstate trucking that must meet ELD/HOS and IFTA requirements, that's exactly what Motive is for.
  • • You're standardising on AI dashcams with driver coaching workflows.

FAQ

Does Classibus provide ELD compliance?+

No. If you're subject to the US ELD mandate, use Motive, Samsara or another FMCSA-registered provider. Classibus targets fleets outside that regime, where paying for compliance features you can't use makes no sense.

Can Classibus replace Motive's fuel cards?+

Classibus doesn't issue fuel cards. It logs fuel purchases from any source, cards, cash, depot pumps, applies anomaly detection, and rolls costs into your accounts automatically.

What hardware do I need?+

Any open-protocol tracker (Coban, TK103, GT06, Teltonika, Queclink, Meitrack and more). Most fleets in our markets already run these, so switching costs nothing in hardware.

How do prices compare?+

Motive quotes per vehicle with hardware and add-on products; Classibus publishes a flat per-vehicle price that includes fuel, maintenance and accounting. Compare your Motive quote against our pricing page, the delta is usually the accounting stack you no longer need elsewhere.
