How To Get The Most Out Of Your Fleet With Ford Pro  

If you drive a Ford to use for work – or have a fleet full of them – Ford Pro offers a line of services that will connect them with a set of management tools to help you meet your bottom line and keep your vehicles in service. 

There are many service offerings Ford Pro can set up to keep your fleet moving and maintained.  

Ford Pro E-Telematics is the first offering available for vehicles equipped with infotainment screens onboard. A subscription to E-Telematics is complimentary for three years and is designed to help maximize run time when vehicles are connected to the system. If you have an electric vehicle in your fleet – an E-Transit, F-150 Lightning, or Mustang Mach-E – you can use the platform to pay for public charging events centrally and to reimburse employees for home charging – all designed with fraud protection in mind.  

As a standalone feature, Ford Pro E-Telematics also seamlessly integrates with Ford Pro Telematics, so internal combustion, hybrid, and all-electric vehicles in a mixed fleet can be managed via the same easy-to-use dashboard. Ford Pro Telematics is compatible with non-Ford vehicles via a plug-in device so fleet operators can manage their entire fleet from one Ford Pro application.  

Helping to improve the performance of their drivers is top of mind for fleet operators, which is why there is Ford Pro Intelligence In-Vehicle Coaching. This is real-time driver coaching delivered through SYNC 4 voice assistant. Any time a driver exceeds a speed limit, rapidly accelerates, brakes harshly, leaves the vehicle on while parked, or fails to fasten a seatbelt, they will receive an in-vehicle audio message asking them to correct their behavior with thresholds set by the fleet manager. Fleet managers can also receive a driver score on individual drivers to help identify individuals who may benefit from additional training.   

On the vehicle side, most Ford Pro vehicles are equipped with a modem using a 4G LTE Wi-Fi connection. This helps keep drivers and crews connected while on the job or on the road. You can add screens on the vehicle – either through the onboard SYNC-driven infotainment screen or a third-party screen installed after the sale – that will interface with the Ford Pro software back at your office. Ford Pro Intelligence subscription services such as Ford Pro E-Telematics can be accessed by activating the onboard 4G LTE modem.
