As rising fuel and maintenance costs add pressure on already slim margins in today's physical economy, businesses across industries are turning to data-driven telematics to manage their operations effectively. A new partnership between Motive and Navistar will connect Motive's Automated Operations Platform with Navistar’s OnCommand Connection (OCC) telematics and Advanced Remote Diagnostics solutions.
The partnership will offer two types of integrations. First, Motive users will be able to streamline their fleet operations by accessing data, including fault-code descriptions, severity ratings, and recommended parts and services from Navistar’s OCC platform. The added operations visibility will allow users, like safety, compliance, and fleet managers, to quickly diagnose and address potentially costly maintenance-related issues that typically derail timelines and drive up costs, the companies said in a statement.

Second, Motive stated its customers can expect improved fleet management by accessing data from Navistar’s factory-installed devices on International trucks. These devices offer customers native telematics such as vehicle location, engine hours, tire pressure, brake and cabin temperatures, and lights status directly from the vehicle manufacturer.
“Motive is committed to building scalable solutions that create long-lasting value for our customers,” said Jai Ranganathan, chief product officer at Motive. “Through this partnership, our customers will be able to access even more data about their fleets, enabling our AI-powered applications to further improve the safety, productivity, and profitability of their operations.”
