Ford Pro Upgrades Vehicle Insights & Control With Expanded Suite Of Solutions

Ford Pro, the commercial division within Ford Motor Company, has unveiled several new and improved software and technology features to give fleet managers more insight about and control over how their commercial vehicles are operated to manage fleet risk. Ford Pro now offers video telematics fully integrated into the Ford Pro Intelligence platform.

The new solution uses a windshield-mounted, cloud-connected dashcam from Lytx, a provider of dashcams, with two lenses to capture road-facing and in-cab footage.

It delivers insights based on the customer’s Ford Pro Telematics subscription level and business needs.

That data is stored within the Ford Pro Intelligence platform for 30 days, where customers can retrieve and view it at any moment within that time frame.

The dashcam’s outward-facing lens records footage that can potentially provide important evidence in the case of an on-the-job incident. 

Ford Pro's commercial solutions pull connected vehicle data and integrate it into the Ford Pro Intelligence platform to arm fleet managers with a new level of insight about and control over vehicles on the road.

Dave Prusinski, general manager of Ford Pro Integrated Services, says: “Fleet managers have more to deal with than ever: managing fleets, maximizing uptime, and minimizing the risks of accidents to drivers, vehicles, and their business. Ford Pro Intelligence, now with video telematics, gives fleet managers more visibility and control over what’s happening inside the cabin and on the road. It’s like having a coach in the passenger seat.”

“We’re thrilled to be a part of Ford Pro’s next generation of cloud-connected fleet technologies,” adds Adam McCarty, Senior Vice President at Lytx. “Both Ford Pro and Lytx are united in our commitment to help customers optimize their fleet investments, help encourage better driving, and protect against loss. Through continued innovation on our Lytx Vision Platform, we look forward to providing the Ford Pro team with groundbreaking tools to help fleets drive operational excellence.”

Ford employs about 177,000 people worldwide.
