Manufacturers are partnering with telematics providers to allow access to data from OEMs’ factory-installed modems. Meanwhile, Ford has introduced its own telematics system that takes advantage of its factory modem to maximize the depth and breadth of that data for fleets.
Driving data collated by Samsara shows that while long haul transportation and food and beverage sectors have essentially reached pre-COVID-19 commercial driving activity, other industries, like transit, education, and oil and gas are far from recovery.
