AB  - The usage of  real-time tracking systems for vehicles has demonstrated to be a viable and economical option, 
entailing in more control and management of  the fleet, plus the reduction of  the logistics costs of  companies using them. Since 
2006 in Cuba, there is a fleet control and management system employed by almost all the companies, which hire a variant of  
the service in a differed manner; i.e., the data are not processed in real-time. In this research paper, we propose the design of  
a device based only on open source hardware/software components allowing the real-time vehicle tracking. Our proposal is 
suitable for the conditions of  the country where it was developed (Cuba), presenting high functionality than other proposals. 
For  the  design,  we  employed  an  Arduino  UNO  controller  board,  an  Adafruit  FONA808  GPS/GSM  module,  and  other  
accessories.  As  per  the  performed  experiments,  the  proposed  hardware/software  architecture  complies  with  the  operation,  
configuration, and security requirements to achieve a viable product from the economical and environmental approaches.
