Masternaut partners with Ford to provide fleet management services

Masternaut has signed a European-wide agreement with Ford to provide data from Ford vehicles fitted with FordPass Connect modems.

Masternaut’s fleet management services will be available to all commercial customers operating Ford vehicles with the FordPass Connect modem installed.

Ford introduced the FordPass Connect modems across its vehicle range in 2018, which now covers the core EU model line-up.

Gilson Santiago, CEO at Masternaut, said: “At Masternaut, we are committed to delivering insights through our solutions that help our customers achieve their objectives and grow their businesses.

“Ford customers will also benefit from the support of Masternaut’s world class customer service, as well as from the expertise of our professional services team to help gain the most value from the different tools we provide them with, making a real difference and helping them achieve more sustainable mobility.”

Masternaut says it wants to “seize the opportunity” and partner with leading OEMs such as Ford, to move forward in providing a customer focused solution.

Dave Phatak, director of Ford Commercial Solutions Europe, said: “At Ford, we are committed to delivering the benefits of connectivity to our customers in order to help their businesses to thrive.

“We recognise that our Fleet and Commercial Vehicle customers have differing needs and it is important that we provide customers with the power of choice to decide how best to make connectivity work for them.”

The data agreement covers vehicles operating in 20 European markets – including the UK and France.
