The integration allows fleets operating with participating Ford vehicles to access Linxup’s easy-to-use system for real-time location tracking and geofencing, speed and idling alerts, driver behavior reports, and maintenance tracking. Using Ford’s built-in vehicle modem eliminates the need to install additional wired or OBD hardware to access GPS data.
“We’re thrilled to announce Linxup as an authorized Ford Data Services™ provider. We believe customers should have the power of choice to get manufacturer-grade vehicle data from the provider of their choosing,” said Michelle Moody, director, Ford Commercial Solutions. “Working with Linxup provides fleets with connected Ford vehicles an excellent option to access their vehicle data from Ford’s integrated modem to manage their fleets.”
