The leasing of telematics equipment is on the rise – with
news that Ford is about to offer packages in the UK on its Transit
Connect vans.
The fleet tracking system, called Crew Chief, can be
rolled up into a lease package or acquired directly from its
manufacturer, Microlise.
Crew Chief, which was launched in the United States in
2008, is due to enter the German market this year or in early 2011,
and “could arrive on UK shores soon after”, a Ford spokesperson
said.
Developed for Ford by Microlise, Crew Chief collects and
transmits a range of data including vehicle location, fuel
consumption, engine running hours, diagnostic fault codes and
excess idling. Fleet managers can access the data, which is held on
Microlise’s servers, via the internet.
