The platform allows users to deactivate vehicles directly from the Vehicle Details page. The process depends on the type of connectivity:

How to delete an OEM vehicle

1. Go to the Vehicle Details page.
2. Scroll down to the Deactivate Vehicle section.
3. Click DELETE.
4. Confirm the deactivation.

📝 What happens next?

• The vehicle is immediately removed from your fleet.
• No billing or additional steps are needed.
• The OEM connectivity—if available—can be reactivated later by re‑adding the vehicle.

How to delete hardware‑connected vehicles

For vehicles using Targa hardware, deactivation includes the option to recycle, or permanently deactivate the device.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Vehicle Details page.

2. Scroll to the Deactivate Vehicle section.

3. Select a deactivation mode:

   • Recycle (device can be reused later)
   • Terminate (device is permanently disabled)

4. Click DELETE.

5. Confirm the action in the pop‑up.

   ♻️ Recycle

   The device is deactivated but can be reused later.

   This option is ideal when you want to transfer the device to another vehicle in the future.

   • The device is removed from your fleet
   • You may register it again later as a new tracker
   • No hardware is destroyed or permanently disabled

   ⚠️  Operational Considerations

   To use this device again, you will need to stock it. When requesting the installation for the new vehicle, please make sure the installer knows that a new device should not be installed, as the recycled one will be reactivated and mounted instead.

   Extra costs:

   Recycling a device involves operational costs from Targa. These costs include both the deinstallation of the device from the current vehicle and the installation in the new vehicle, performed during the same service visit:

   • From 5 vehicles: 210 €
   • Single vehicle: 275 € </aside>

   ⛔ Terminate

   The device is permanently decommissioned.

   It cannot be reactivated or installed in another vehicle.

   • The device is permanently disabled on the platform
   • It cannot be reused
   • Select this option only if you are sure the hardware will not be used again

   ⚠️  Billing Considerations

   Targa devices are billed under a 24‑month amortization period.

   If a device is deactivated before the minimum contract period ends, you will see a message indicating:

   • The minimum contract end date
   • The number of remaining months
   • That early termination results in a charge for the pending balance </aside>
