Tata
Motors announced connecting 5 lakh commercial vehicles with Fleet Edge, its
dedicated connected vehicle platform. Designed especially for efficient fleet
management, Fleet Edge uses smart technologies to increase vehicle uptime and
improve road safety. The platform shares action-able insights in real time on
vehicle status, health, location and driver behaviour of every vehicle
connected to it. This enables owners and fleet managers to take better
decisions for enhancing operational efficiency, lowering logistics costs and
improving profits.
Speaking
about reaching this first-of-its-kind milestone, Bharat Bhushan, Head – Digital
Business, Tata Motors commercial vehicles, states, “Tata Motors is committed to
making logistics more seamless and efficient. Fleet Edge has been a real game
changer in this endeavour with its strong value proposition, data-based
intelligence, real-time insights and vehicle prognosis enabling smarter fleet
management. Lakhs of our customers are
seeing immense value in using it and benefiting from the increase in
operational efficiencies and lower total cost of ownership of their trucks. As
true partners, we are working closely with our customers to make their
businesses more successful.”
Fleet
Edge comes with a user-friendly interface that displays an array of inputs
received from various sensors pre-installed in a vehicle to regularly monitor
vehicle health and increase its uptime with ready alerts for timely
maintenance. It also analyses driving patterns to suggest fuel saving
techniques and tracks driving behaviour.
All
commercial EVs, medium and heavy trucks and buses from Tata Motors are Fleet
Edge ready with a 4G SIM embedded in them. The Telematics Control Unit (TCU) is
AIS 140 compliant, with safety and security functions. Advanced algorithms
analyse data inputs from these smart vehicles on multiple parameters to present
several value-adding insights. Fleet owners and managers can accordingly take
better and informed decisions as per their business need. They can choose from
Standard and Advance subscription schemes as per their requirements to optimise
