WASL Compliance for Fleets in Saudi Arabia
WASL links your commercial vehicles to the Transport General Authority (TGA). IPTech connects your fleet to WASL — the right equipment per vehicle type, registration, and live data to the TGA — and runs it as a managed service.
What is WASL?
WASL is Saudi Arabia's national fleet-linking platform, operated by Elm. The Transport General Authority (TGA) regulates land transport and requires operators to link their fleets to WASL. Once registered, each vehicle transmits live data — location, speed, and (for trucks) weight — through WASL to the TGA.

Who must register
WASL linkage is mandatory for commercial vehicles operating in the Kingdom — across these types:
Trucks & heavy goods
Goods-transport trucks and tankers — registered, tracked, and weighed through WASL.
Buses
Specialized, education, rental, international, and intercity buses.
Tow trucks
Recovery and towing vehicles operating on Saudi roads.
Delivery motorcycles
Last-mile and food-delivery motorcycle fleets.
Taxis & e-hailing
Taxi and ride-hailing vehicles operating in and between cities.
Operating without WASL linkage can result in fines under TGA and Ministry of Transport regulations.
What WASL compliance requires
A GPS tracker on every vehicle
Each registered vehicle carries a GPS tracker that transmits its data to WASL. WASL doesn't pre-approve brands or models — as your service provider, IPTech selects trackers that meet or exceed the technical specifications WASL and the TGA require.
Weight sensors for trucks, tow trucks & delivery bikes
These vehicle types add an on-board weight sensor — better than 90% accuracy for heavy goods vehicles, linked to WASL since April 2019.
Camera kit for buses
Buses add cameras, an MDVR, and passenger information screens alongside the GPS tracker.
A live link to the TGA
Your company and vehicles are registered on WASL, and IPTech's platform transmits their live data to the Transport General Authority.
Requirements by vehicle type
| Vehicle type | What it needs |
|---|---|
Trucks & heavy goods | GPS tracker + on-board weight sensor + WASL link |
Tow trucks | GPS tracker + weight sensor + WASL link |
Delivery motorcycles | GPS tracker + weight sensor + WASL link |
Buses (all types) | GPS tracker + cameras + MDVR + passenger information screens + WASL link |
