Fleets have been deriving value and improving efficiencies with telematics systems for years. Traditionally, this involved installing a modem in each fleet vehicle. Today, most modems are available directly from the factory. In this Fleet Momentum video series, Jason Hammond, director of mobile field solutions at AT&T, discusses the transition to OEM-sourced modems, the benefits they provide, and what fleets need to be thinking about when managing them and the data they provide.
Fleet Momentum videos are designed to shine a spotlight on key industry leaders, trends, and products for fleet management.
Topics discussed:
- The cost and efficiency benefits for light-duty vehicles to come with automakers’ modems direct from the factory
- What fleets should know in a mixed environment with both legacy aftermarket modems mixed with factory-sourced modems
- How to handle the difference in modems since not all are standardized across OEMs
- How this trend factors into fleeting EVs and what data to gather and analyze
- How to manage multiple systems and multiple dashboards, especially with EVs
