ELD Mandate in Canada will require most commercial Drivers to install compliant Electronic Logging Devices. Regulations require drivers of most commercial motor vehicles to keep a record of duty status (RODS) and must use the ELD product to show they follow the Hours of Service rules.
Motive’s ELD compliance product is certified for the Canadian ELD Mandate
Our Canadian ELD certification was transferred from our previous certifier, CSA Group, to our current certifier, Com Driver Technologies. Our ELD remains certified and compliant to use. As of 2024-04-25 Motive ELD devices are certified by ComDriver Tech under Certification Number ''6T36 for Android'' and ''6T45 for iOS'' and ELD identifiers ''MOTIV1 for Android'' and ''MOTIV2 for iOS''.
