What Are Telematics?
Telematics systems are designed to collect important data while vehicles are on the go. They monitor a range of inputs using sensors and GPS tracking, which is then uploaded to a cloud server for future use. Most of the time, they are used for commercial vehicles, which allows owners to track routes, costs, and driving behaviors more easily, and to adjust, as necessary. While it’s often associated with trucks and vans, limousine services and rental fleets benefit, too.
What Are the Benefits of Telematics?
There are many benefits to tapping into your vehicle’s telematics systems, especially if you have a commercial fleet. Here are just a few of the advantages they offer:
- GPS Location: Vehicle tracking, mileage logging, and route adjustments
- Driver Behavior: History of speeding, aggressive braking, and accelerating
- Vehicle Health: Data on battery capacity and tire pressure, plus maintenance reminders
- Fuel Consumption: Data for ways to reduce fuel costs and save
- Safety: Automatic crash response and stolen vehicle tracking
Telematics Systems for New Vehicles
If your vehicle does not come with an integrated or factory-installed telematics system, you can purchase one to add on. While third-party systems will fit, there are benefits to purchasing OEM, or original equipment manufacturer, systems directly from the automaker, including zero-cost installation and tamper-proof hardware. Solutions available through our dealerships include Ford Pro Telematics®, RAM Telematics®, and a range of Mercedes-Benz solutions that includes Fleetboard™, Mercedes-Benz Uptime™, and Mercedes me connect™.
