Fitting speed limiters

Hi, just after some general information about fitting speed limiters to a few 2018 Hyundai iLoad auto vans.

The vans have GPS but can have multiple drivers on the same day, some gun it, some don’t.

I’m not concerned about 55 in a 50 zone but more concerned at regularly exceeding 110-120kph

We do run speed reports but then it can be a mission to determine who was driving, where, when why etc, and even getting drivers in for a chat.
An easy solution may be to fit speed limiters.

I’ve tried Google and Utube, I haven’t found anything specific to Hyundai vans, and like everything there are probably a range of options, ranging from sublime to ridiculous. I know if I ring the agent it will probably be an expensive deluxe factory version.

But who knows, maybe they can be programmed via the OBDI ?
Cheers

Unplug the MAF and put it into limp mode.

Put log books into every vehicle and ID the drivers. Bloody site cheaper than more techno crap.

We often know who the drivers are and apart from their occasional speeding the are excellent employees, it is just not worth the hassle of investigating and then having frequent ‘chats’

If it’s a few hundred dollars each then I’ll just speed limit the vans, problem solved.

Well I wouldn't want to work for you with that attitude, Like big brother watching you, you sound like a control freak, but hey each to their own.

This guy shoulda had one on his iLoad. Might have saved him his licence https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/1531987405.jpg

Feck I think that's one of my vans.

Speed limiter could be a safety issue. On rare occasions it may be necessary to exceed the speed limit.

this is a load of nonsense.

Screw a block of wood under the go pedal?
Just a thought .

Not according to the high court.

The iLoad is known as the H-1 and Starex in some other markets

Seems to be some products available:

Interestingly in some markets such as Korea 11 & 12 seater's vans are required to have a 110km/h speed limiter, so some configerations of the starex come with a limiter from the factory. (In quite a few asian markets the iload / imax includes a 12 seat passenger trim). There are youtube video's of people in the Philippines with privatly owned vans removing it.

For the people upset about GPS monitoring, and who feel speed limiters are unsafe: Both of these technologies are now extremely common on heavy trucks, and GPS monitoring is becoming more common on workplace light vehicle fleets.

With regards to GPS tracking in fleet vehicles, these aren't people private cars, and it is reasonable that the owner of the vehicle knows it's location and that it isn't being used at excessive speeds etc.

With regards to Speed limiters, The vast majority of the NZ fleet is already fitted with speed limiters (typically 180km/h), so the existence of limiters is nothing new. Should note that the EU is going to be mandating limiters on all newly released vehicles from may 2022, and all new vehicles from may 2024 (tied to traffic sign recognition or GPS data to determine the speed limit in a particular area). Initially manufactures will be allowed to include an on/off switch, but a regulation change to get rid of that feature is allowed in the future.

Employers have a substantial responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act. It is not simple enough to tell an employee to say wear their face mask while operating a grinder. An employer cannot turn a blind eye when that instruction is ignored. This stuff includes use of company vehicles on the clock too. As mentioned prior many trucking companies use both speed limiters & gps tracking (often the e-road system) as part of meeting their obligations under the act.



Not sure if that is a NZ sourced image, but if so, the barn door option on the iload is fairly rare here.

When i was young--about 1961 when i got my license. Was allowed to use our 1940 Chev light Truck Dad got the local garage to fit a restrictor plate between carb & manifold--had a 'very' small hole in it. Fixed ME! lol. Eventually the plate was removed--then i went & blew he top of a piston

s_nz. That photo I posted was from New South Wales. They tap out at 180kph.

it is infact true

They did that in the 1960s to the Land Rovers based at the Government's Animal Research Station at Wallaceville, so you couldn't get more than half throttle. Took an age to get up somewhere near 30 mph and top speed would not have been much more!.

I'd be allocating one vehicle to one driver (or a small group of drivers) and simply monitoring the tracker, then rotating them after a few weeks. You are quickly going to find out who the culprits are then slap them with written warnings. Not hard.

This lot in charge will want that turned OFF, they will lose millions in speeding fines.
More like:
*Zero tolerance for speeding.
*Ridiculous blanked speed reductions across the country.
*GPS tracked RUC
*Fines automatically generated via GPS
This way they will make $trillions in fines.
Several years ago I was told by an ex-CVIU (now CVST) that the truck GPS-RUC is already set up to generate speeding fines automatically.
