A. Verizon Connect uses the data relating the actual condition of the vehicle to help manage vehicle maintenance, identifying necessary repairs and eliminating time-consuming and costly unnecessary maintenance. Alerts can be sent directly to drivers — based on mileage or engine hours — to let them know that it’s time to set up a preventive maintenance appointment.
In addition, fleet personnel will receive alerts relating to the vehicle’s health — including a range of trouble codes, which can be shared directly with the local service center.
This will also help the service center know what parts are needed before the vehicle rolls into the shop, helping to minimize downtime and help improve warranty recovery, because records will be accurate. Historical reporting can also improve the accuracy of future parts orders.
And it’s not just data about mechanical issues that can be collected to help maintain vehicles. Data about how the vehicle is being driven can help to monitor if it’s being abused, thus, causing additional unnecessary repairs or shortened maintenance intervals.
