Example of Events service in Volvo Connect with historical view of all events that happened en-route.

vents is a service that helps fleet owners track where and when specific actions occur on buses in their fleet. The service will send notifications when criteria is met, such as ignition on, driving, or a driver logging in or out. The vehicle will also report its status when the event occurs - fuel level, position, odometer value, speed and more.
