# View a vehicle's trips, map and activity

Use the vehicle tabs to see past and future trips, the live position, messages, coupled drivers and equipment, sensor data and history.

Updated 4 October 2026

**Who can do this:** Access to vehicles. Sensors and Driving style need the FMS feature; Cameras needs the camera feature; To-Do needs the to-do feature.

Every vehicle has a detail view with tabs. Which tabs you see depends on where you open it and on your platform's features and your permissions.

## Open the vehicle detail

* From the vehicle list (side menu, **Vehicles**): click a row. This opens the vehicle information with the tabs **Vehicles**, **Complaints**, **Tires**, **Damages** and **To do's**.
* From the header search, a plan board or a trip: click the vehicle. This opens the full operational view described below.

| **Complaints**, **Tires**, **Damages** | Records linked to the vehicle. Shown only when your role allows it.                                                                                                  |

## Pair a driver with a vehicle

1. Open the vehicle and choose the **Drivers** tab.
2. Click **Pair chauffeur**.
3. Search for and select the driver.
4. Click **Couple**.

Connecting a trailer works the same way from the **Means of transport** tab.

## Read the activity of a vehicle

1. Open the vehicle and choose the **Activity** tab.
2. Scroll through the events, or use the filters and sort options above the list.
3. Check columns such as **Event type**, **Driver**, **Location**, **Odometer** and **Fuel level**.

Activity, map positions and sensor readings come from the vehicle's board computer integration. If the tabs stay empty, check that a board computer is linked to the vehicle and that the integration is active.

## Edit the vehicle

Click the pencil icon (✎) next to the vehicle name to open the edit form. See [Add and manage vehicles](/en/help/vehicles) for the fields.
