FAQ
What is telematics?
Telematics is the integrated use of telecommunications and informatics. The hardware module collects data from a machine’s systems and transmits the information over the air so it can be reviewed remotely.
Does FleetForce telematics provide coverage throughout the US and Canada?
Yes. New Holland has partnered with leading cellular providers in North America including AT&T, T-Mobile and Rogers Wireless that use GSM cellular communications to provide coverage. If a cell signal is not available, the device collects and stores your data then forwards it when the network is available. Add-on satellite coverage will soon be available to further expand the potential of FleetForce.
Can New Holland FleetForce telematics be retrofitted to existing or older New Holland machines? What about competitive machines, or even attachments?
Yes. A universal Dealer Install kit will be available.
Can a Fleet Force subscription for a machine be upgraded from Basic to Advanced or for a longer period of time?
