Enhancing vehicle integration, security, productivity, and situational awareness
What tools does the Ford Super Duty offer for fleet managers? The 2025 Ford Super Duty is packed with cutting-edge tools tailored for fleet managers aimed at enhancing vehicle integration, security, productivity, and situational awareness. Here’s a closer look at Ford productivity tools with Sherwood Ford of Sherwood Park, AB.
Ford Pro™ Vehicle Integration System 2.0: upfits and customization
The Ford Pro™ Vehicle Integration System 2.0 simplifies life for fleet managers and drivers by offering an easy, integrated approach to third-party equipment and upfits. Whether adding custom features into the center display or using the overhead toggle switches, the system adds flexibility without complication. Available as an option for the 2025 Super Duty and standard on the Super Duty Chassis Cab, this system is ideal for fleets with specialized requirements.
Increase fleet safety with advanced driver aids
The 2025 Ford Super Duty also features advanced in-cabin technologies that help fleet drivers stay aware and informed. Here are some highlights:
- Ford Co-Pilot360® technology: This suite of safety features helps drivers stay alert and safe on the road.
- 360-degree cameras: A surround-view camera allows drivers to view the vehicle’s surroundings, which is especially helpful when navigating tight spaces or crowded job sites.
- Customizable digital information cluster and Head-Up Display: These displays give drivers easy access to critical vehicle information, enhancing focus and reducing distractions.
- SYNC® 4: An intuitive infotainment system with voice recognition provides drivers with easy access to navigation, communication, and entertainment options.
Ford Pro Telematics on the Ford Super Duty
Ford Pro Telematics offers fleet managers comprehensive, real-time insights into vehicle performance and driver behavior. This system provides:
- Vehicle health alerts: Managers can monitor the condition of each vehicle, catching potential issues before they become costly problems.
- Fuel usage reports: These reports identify fuel consumption patterns and areas where fleets might reduce expenses.
- Driver behavior monitoring: Monitoring driver behavior provides insights into driving habits that may impact safety, fuel efficiency, or vehicle wear and tear.
Can a fleet manager disable a vehicle from a distance?
For fleets concerned with security, the Fleet Start Inhibit feature allows managers to disable a vehicle’s engine remotely. Through the Ford Pro Telematics dashboard, managers can schedule start inhibits either one-time or recurring, preventing unauthorized starts and securing the fleet against potential misuse. This feature enhances security while adding convenience for fleet managers who need to monitor multiple vehicles.
Keeping your fleet vehicles safe from theft
Available in the Ford Pro Fleet Marketplace, the Vehicle Security app is a powerful tool for fleet managers to maintain security on their vehicles. This app lets managers:
- Trigger vehicle alarms remotely: Fleet owners can activate an alarm if unauthorized access or tampering is suspected.
- Receive security alerts: Alerts are triggered if a vehicle starts outside a designated area or if a door is opened during restricted hours, giving managers an additional layer of control.
