Medium-duty truck data integration details

Data uses are as varied as truck uses, and as specific. Whereas long-haul operations can focus on time spent in cruise and idle time to provide the short-term data usage ROI when it comes to fuel economy, medium-duty trucks tackling a multitude of vocations a require a more targeted data approach.

Recently, Samsara announced an integration with Ford Data Services focusing on commercial vehicles, ranging from Ford Transit vans to heavier Ford F-Series trucks. To get an understanding of how this integration gains a deeper visibility into light- and medium-duty truck data and how fleet managers can leverage data in the associated applications, I connected with Chris Mozzocchi, director of OEM Integrations at Samsara to talk about how to focus on application-specific data and what role fleets play in data integrations that they benefit from.
