Introducing DrivePro Asset Trackers: Track What Matters, Not Just Vehicles
For years, DrivePro has helped people and businesses keep track of their vehicles. But not everything you need to protect has an engine. Trailers, tools, machinery, containers, bags and people can all matter just as much, and knowing where they are can make a real difference.
That’s why we’re launching two new DrivePro GPS trackers, designed for assets and personal use. Both work without wiring, and both let you check location and receive alerts through your phone or the web.
This is a soft launch and the start of DrivePro’s move beyond vehicle tracking. You can now explore both products in our Asset Trackers collection.
Who are the new trackers for?
Whether you run a small business or want extra reassurance about something important to you, these trackers can help you keep location in view.
They’re designed for different needs:
- Trailers, caravans, containers, plant and machinery: a rugged tracker that mounts in place and is built for long-term use.
- People, bags, equipment and smaller items: a compact rechargeable tracker you can clip on or drop in.
- Lone workers, walkers and older relatives: a personal tracker with an SOS button and a way to share live location.
Here’s a closer look at each.
DrivePro Long Life Asset Tracker: fit it and know where your asset is
The DrivePro Long Life Asset Tracker is made for assets without their own power supply. Use it with a trailer, caravan, container, plant equipment or machinery. It has screw mounting points, needs no wiring and has a built-in, non-rechargeable 8,800 mAh lithium battery.
Five years of service included
The tracker costs £199.99, with five years of tracking and alerts included. The SIM and data are included too, so there are no monthly bills during that initial period. After five years, you can continue for £4.99 a month or £49.99 a year.
Fit it, forget charging, and get location updates for years. Depending on reporting frequency, the battery can last for up to 10 years.
Choose regular check-ins, updates when the tracker moves, or a schedule. The tracker also provides low-battery warnings, helping you plan ahead.
Alerts to help you keep an eye on assets
You can receive an alert on your phone or by email if the tracker:
- Moves while armed
- Leaves its home site or a geofence
- Crosses a border
- Stops reporting
You can choose who receives each alert. These notifications help you notice changes and check what’s happening, rather than relying on a routine visit to the site.
The tracker is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance and operates from -20°C to +60°C. It uses GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou satellites, and reports over 4G LTE. Its dimensions are 156 x 70 x 25 mm, and it weighs 251 g.

DrivePro Personal GPS Tracker with SOS Button: tracking for people and belongings
The DrivePro Personal GPS Tracker with SOS Button is a smaller, rechargeable option for people, bags, equipment, trailers and other items you want to keep track of.
At 78 x 40 x 27 mm and 95 g, it can be clipped on or dropped into a bag. There’s no wiring or installation. Check its live location on your phone or on the web, and share that location with friends and family in a couple of taps.
Battery life and service
Its 2,600 mAh battery lasts over 100 days with light use, or over a month when moving every day. In that everyday-use mode, it reports every two minutes while moving and hourly when still. It charges from any USB charger, and low-battery notifications include a forecast of when it will need charging.
The £39.99 price includes the SIM and the first 30 days of service. After that, service costs £4.99 a month or £49.99 a year. There’s no contract, and you can cancel at any time.
An SOS button with a clear alert process
Press the SOS button and the tracker vibrates to confirm. Everyone on the account is alerted immediately with the tracker’s location. If nobody acknowledges the alert, emergency contacts receive a text with a location link, and the first contact is phoned.
That workflow can be useful for lone workers, walkers and older relatives. As with any safety feature, make sure the account and emergency contacts are set up for the people who will use it.
The personal tracker is rated IP67 for water and dust protection and operates from -20°C to +60°C. It uses GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou for location, and low-power LTE-M / NB-IoT networks to report in. Its other alerts include geofence entry and exit, leaving a home site, movement while armed, stopping moving, changing country, stopping reporting and low battery.

Which DrivePro tracker is right for you?
The main difference is how you’ll use it and how you want to power it.
| Choose the Long Life Asset Tracker if… | Choose the Personal GPS Tracker if… |
|---|---|
| You’re tracking a trailer, caravan, container, plant or machinery. | You’re tracking a person, bag, equipment or smaller item. |
| You want a tracker that screws into place. | You want a small tracker to clip on or drop in. |
| You’d prefer a non-rechargeable battery and years of operation. | You’re happy to recharge by USB and want an SOS button. |
| You want five years of service included, with no monthly bills during that period. | You want a lower upfront price and flexible PAYG service after the first 30 days. |
Both provide location tracking and alerts, but they’re built around different jobs: one is for assets you can fit and leave in place; the other is for portable tracking and personal reassurance.
