GPS Peru · The Definitive 2026 Guide

DiTrack (Ditel Group S.A.C., RUC 20547437188), a Peruvian GPS monitoring company operating since 2012. We retransmit each vehicle's position in real time to SUTRAN and to OSINERGMIN's PMGO from a single GPS device: you don't need two devices or two providers. We are registered with the MTC as a value-added service company, and our standard device, the Wanwaytech GS12, is MTC-homologated under certificate TRFM59493 (public at she.mtc.gob.pe). The transport company remains the obligated party before each regulator; we provide the device, the platform and the retransmission.

SUTRAN requires MTC-homologated GPS in cargo transport and in regular national-scope passenger transport, at 1 frame per minute (RNAT and RD 1811-2014-MTC/15). RNAT GPS infractions (code S.11) are 0.7 UIT for not having the system and 0.5 UIT for not transmitting; 0.9 UIT is for transmitting manipulated data. For cargo, enforcement of those infractions is suspended until Dec 31, 2028 (DS 023-2025-MTC); for passengers it is in force. When a vehicle stops transmitting, SUTRAN can immobilize it.

No. Mandatory for: intercity cargo transport (SUTRAN), hydrocarbon transport (OSINERGMIN), Lima-Callao public transport (ATU), hazardous waste (Minsa). Optional for personal vehicles, though insurers require it for competitive rates.

Cost depends on fleet size, hardware type (OBD-II vs wired), service model (monthly vs annual), and compliance needs (SUTRAN, OSINERGMIN). Serious providers work with custom quotes because every fleet is different. Request a quote via WhatsApp and we'll send one with no commitment.

Three consequences: (1) SUTRAN or ATU fines, or suspension of the Hydrocarbons Registry in OSINERGMIN's case, as applicable; (2) loss of vehicle permit on repeat; (3) inability to operate on regulated routes. In practice, without GPS you can't invoice cargo or hydrocarbon transport.

Depends on use. For industrial fleets: European Teltonika hardware with 4G LTE-M connectivity. For hydrocarbons: homologated equipment with retransmission to OSINERGMIN's PMGO. For personal cars: quick-install OBD-II devices. What matters: provider has current MTC homologation, active retransmission to the applicable regulatory APIs, and platform access from any device.

The obligation to transmit belongs to the transport company; in practice it meets it through its GPS provider, which sends every position to SUTRAN automatically. You don't have to do anything technical. Ask for the transmission log to verify it's actually happening.

All commercial GPS units use GPS satellites to obtain position. The difference is how they transmit data: most use 4G cellular networks (not satellite). Pure satellite GPS (via Iridium/Inmarsat) is expensive and used only in remote mining or international fleets.

Yes, partially. Modern GPS units buffer offline positions in internal memory and send them when signal returns. In tunnels, deep mining, or borders without coverage, data is preserved and uploaded when the unit returns to coverage.

OBD-II: 5 minutes (self-install). Professional wiring: 45-90 minutes in workshop. DiTrack does on-site installation in Lima and scheduled installation in other regions. Platform activation is instant.

Yes, with mid-to-high range GPS. In Peru, for safety, the cut executes only when the vehicle is below 5 km/h. It's not a technical decision, it's a rule to prevent accidents.

It's the certificate that validates that the GPS model meets the Peruvian vehicle technical standard. Without active homologation, your GPS doesn't count for SUTRAN/OSINERGMIN even if it works perfectly. Verify the certificate number in the MTC DGAT portal before buying.

Yes. The 4G network from Claro/Movistar/Entel covers all department capitals and main intercity routes. In remote mining zones, GPS with 2G/3G fallback + offline buffer is used.

DiTrack has 1,800+ devices installed since 2012. If your fleet is large, let's talk through your case and size the rollout with you.

You can switch GPS providers without replacing your hardware. DiTrack integrates devices from any brand — Teltonika, Coban, Concox, Sinotrack and more — and connects them to its platform with SUTRAN, OSINERGMIN, Avanzza, Ransa or Qanalytics retransmission included. Before migrating, check your current contract for a portability clause.

Yes. DiTrack offers free device transfer between vehicles of the same client. If you sell the vehicle, you can move the GPS to the replacement or transfer the contract to the buyer (requires RUC validation).

OBD-II self-install doesn't affect warranty (the port is designed for diagnostics, not for permanent sensors). Wired installations at authorized dealers don't affect either. Avoid "shady" installations in unauthorized workshops.

Fuel (capacitive sensors), temperature (cold chain), door opening, panic button, driver identification (iButton/RFID), DVR camera. Each additional sensor increases hardware cost and reporting frequency.

If you transport commercial cargo, yes (SUTRAN national scope applies to Lima). If personal use, optional but recommended for anti-theft, control of spouse/designated driver, and vehicle insurance discount.

Three ways: (1) provider's web platform, accessible from PC or mobile browser, should show latest position with timestamp less than 5 minutes; (2) SUTRAN/OSINERGMIN retransmission endpoint, ask the provider for the transmission report; (3) current retransmission certificate. If they don't deliver these, bad sign.

Yes. Bilingual platform and reports (ES/EN), with a native English interface. Useful for international corporate clients and mining operators with foreign personnel.

PMGO (Plataforma de Monitoreo GPS de Osinergmin) is the system that receives GPS data from hydrocarbon transport. It replaced PLATIN in August 2026. If you transport LPG, fuels, or derivatives, your GPS provider (the EMV) must retransmit your vehicles to PMGO automatically. DiTrack has retransmitted to PMGO since August 2026.

Yes. We integrate GPS hardware from multiple international manufacturers (Europe, China, USA) selected by use case, vehicle, and regulation. Teltonika is our official partner for industrial hardware; we complement with other brands for OBD-II, motorcycles, and specific applications. You can consolidate a mixed fleet on a single platform.

Panic button alerts: push notification and SMS in under 5 seconds. Geofence alerts: under 10 seconds. Speed and engine cut alerts: real time. The automated alert system runs 24/7; human business support operates extended hours and is backed by uninterrupted WhatsApp for critical events.

Original Teltonika hardware: 2 years direct from manufacturer. Other equipment: 1 year DiTrack. Free replacement on factory failure. Damage from improper installation or environmental causes not covered.

Yes. Responsive web platform accessible from any device (PC, tablet, or mobile browser), no app install required. Access from any IP/country without restriction. Useful for fleet owners residing abroad or operators with HQ outside Peru.

Yes, referenceable cases available under NDA. Some public clients include cargo transport companies, fuel distributors, and municipalities. Request them via WhatsApp and we share in PDF format.

Ask your provider for the “Retransmission Certificate” showing your vehicle is reporting to CCO SUTRAN. That document is presented at audit. Without it, even with a working GPS, you get fined.

Yes, volume discounts start at 10 units; quotes take 5 minutes over WhatsApp. Special rates for municipalities and state entities (OSCE processes).

Yes, but minimal. Average consumption: 50-150mA while running, 5-15mA at rest. A properly installed GPS doesn't drain the battery even on vehicles parked for weeks. If your GPS "kills the battery", there's an installation problem.

Via OTA (Over-The-Air). The provider sends firmware updates remotely for security fixes, new sensor support, or regulatory changes. Your vehicle doesn't need to visit the workshop.
