Fleet telematics providers
As a fleet telematics provider using the Autodiagnos™ Drive connected vehicle data solution, you can connect a large number of vehicle models from different manufacturers. This is achieved by the live access to extended vehicle data and an easily installed, plug-and-play hardware solution.
You get live data on the vehicle’s location and condition. You can then use this information to efficiently plan upcoming maintenance work, thereby digitalizing and automating your vehicle management. For example, error messages (DTCs) can be quickly classified, enabling you to take suitable countermeasures right away. You could instruct the driver to stop driving immediately, or to take the vehicle to the nearest workshop. Additionally, the entire system is 100% compliant with automotive security and data protection standards.
Advantages for fleet telematics providers and their customers:
- Reduce your customers’ total cost of ownership by evaluating fuel level, odometer and error message (DTC) data.
- Avoiding infringement of owner liability, consequential damage and loss of value caused by the late detection of error messages (DTCs) and non-compliance with service intervals for fleet vehicles.
- You can reduce downtimes thanks to early, proactive planning of maintenance measures.
- You always have reliable mileage and location data for digital driver logbooks.
- You can also track stolen vehicles.
