As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Recorded live at Fleet Forward, this episode features an expert panel including leaders from Ford Pro, Stellantis (Mobilisights), and Enterprise Fleet Management, moderated by Arun, CEO and Co-Founder of Motork. Together, they unpack how OEM embedded connectivity has rapidly matured—now available in nearly all new vehicles—and what that means for fleet operations, cost structures, data reliability, and scalability.
Key topics covered include:
The rapid evolution of OEM-connected vehicles and why adoption has accelerated
Factory-installed vs. aftermarket telematics: strengths, trade-offs, and real-world use cases
Data reliability, latency, and signal depth—what’s improved and where gaps still exist
Activation at scale, uptime, and the operational burden of hardware installs
Privacy, driver consent, and compliance in a connected-vehicle world
When aftermarket devices still make sense (accident reconstruction, video, advanced safety)
Why data alone isn’t enough—and how collaboration across OEMs, TSPs, and fleet managers drives real outcomes
Whether you’re managing a small fleet just beginning your telematics journey or a complex, multi-OEM operation evaluating your next move, this episode offers clear, practical insights to help you choose the right telematics path—today and into the future.
Listen in to hear how factory-installed connectivity is reshaping fleet telematics—and what fleet leaders should be doing now to stay ahead.
