Machine Data API

Volvo Construction Equipment offers powerful API solutions that give customers direct access to high-quality machine data for use within their own digital systems. Whether you need standardized telematics or machine-specific deep data, consolidated information about your fleet will help you identify the actions needed to enhance the productivity and efficiency of your entire operation.

Smarter data, smarter operations

Consolidated information about your fleet will help you identify the actions needed to enhance the productivity and efficiency of your entire operation.

Choose your level of detail

From industry-standard AEMP 2.0 fields to extended Volvo-specific parameters –including electric machine insights – you control how much data you consume and how you use it.

Consistent, high-quality machine signals

Volvo CE APIs deliver clean, validated telematics and machine health data at the source, reducing the need for data transformation and increasing system reliability. We offer two data access paths depending on the depth, frequency and specialization you require: AEMP 2.0 and Extended Asset API. Our choice of APIs means you can choose the level of data that aligns with your own digital strategy and operational requirements.

Choose the right API for your operational requirements

Standardized telematics for mixed fleets

AEMP 2.0 provides standardized telematics data in line with ISO15143-3, delivering key information such as location, operating hours, utilization and fuel consumption. AEMP 2.0 enables a dependable baseline for monitoring fleet activity and optimizing day-to-day operations.

Unlock deeper machine insights

Built using our latest data schemas and shaped directly by customer feedback, the Extended Asset API includes additional fields such as energy consumption metrics, battery state and charging data for electric machines, as well as other advanced machine health indicators.

Feature / Need	AEMP 2.0	Extended Asset API
Primary Purpose	Standardized, ISO15143-3 telematics for mixed fleets	Extended with more Volvo-specific machine insights (diesel + electric)
Best For	Customers needing basic telematics in a common format across multiple OEMs	Customers needing richer data fields, electric machine insights, or custom integrations
Fleet Type	Ideal for mixed fleets using third-party systems	Ideal for Volvo-heavy fleets, electric fleets, or custom-built solutions
Data Depth	Essential fields: location, hours, utilization, fuel use, ISO standard fault codes.	Extended fields: battery status, charging, energy consumption, fault codes (including from older generation machines).
Electric Machine Support	Limited	Full support (battery, charging, energy data)
Diagnostic Data	Basic ISO 15143-3 standard	Includes Volvo fault/error codes and advanced diagnostics
Format	ISO-defined structure	Flexible JSON schema
Call Rate	Standard	Higher limits for near real-time integrations
Customization	Limited; fixed ISO standard	Highly flexible; supports tailored data consumption
Future-readiness	Stable baseline	Built to expand with new technologies and data schemas
Typical Use Case	Third-party fleet platforms	In-house systems, advanced analytics, predictive maintenance

Real-world scenarios

A rental business uses a commercial fleet management system to monitor all equipment, regardless of manufacturer. They need location, hours and utilization at a standard format.
AEMP 2.0 is the optimal fit.

A construction firm focuses on fuel trends across their fleet supplied by a mix of OEMs. Only ISO fields are needed.
AEMP 2.0 provides everything required.

A company only uses basic KPIs for dashboards (run hours, idle time, location).
AEMP 2.0 is straightforward, consistent and easy to integrate.

A municipality is transitioning to electric compact equipment and needs charging cycles, energy consumption and battery status to optimize work planning.
Extended Asset API is essential.

A business has an in-house platform that uses machine signals to automate billing, maintenance scheduling and utilization alerts. They need deeper machine data and higher call limits.
Extended Asset API gives them the flexibility and detail required.

An industrial contractor wants fault codes, starter battery voltage and other diagnostic parameters to anticipate downtime.
Extended Asset API provides these richer data fields.

A quarry operator currently uses diesel machines but has plans to add electric haulers. They want a single API approach that will scale with future assets.
Extended Asset API is the more future-proof option.

Accelerate integration with support from Volvo

Whether expertise, documentation or practical tools, Volvo provides end-to-end support for API adoption, from initial onboarding to long-term integration.

Technical documentation, schema definitions, code examples and testing environments are all available through the Volvo CE Commercial Services Developer Portal, giving development teams the resources they need to implement APIs efficiently.

Volvo specialists are always on hand to assist with data interpretation, integration best practices and selecting the API option that delivers the most value for your operation.
