How reliable is Ford mileage data?

The odometer reading comes directly from the factory on-board system. This is not a GPS estimate, but the vehicle's own counter, so it is objective data even in the event of billing and contractual disputes.

Is the system suitable for early detection of overshoot?

Yes. Continuous mileage monitoring allows you to identify the approach to the contractual limit during the term, not just at the time of return.

Can you see the time and mileage remaining until the mandatory service?

Yes. The system also displays the time and distance until service, as well as the oil change interval, thus preventing depreciation due to missed service.

Are real factory error codes available?

Yes, for compatible Ford models, the system displays factory error codes and dashboard feedback, so technical problems are not hidden.

How does the accident alarm work?

The system is capable of reporting an accident event. This can result in faster response, earlier claim settlement and shorter downtime.

How fast is the data update?

The data is typically updated approximately every 30 seconds, making it suitable for operational decisions.

What Ford models are supported?

Support may vary by model and year. Exact functionality will be determined during compatibility testing.

Do I need to install a device in the vehicle?

No. The system works without installation, via the manufacturer's data platform, so there are no installation costs or warranty risks.

How can it be integrated into the existing fleet management system?

The data can be integrated into existing systems or displayed on the easyTRACK interface, so there is no need to manage a parallel platform.

Will it completely replace classic GPS-based fleet tracking?

Not in all cases. If you need detailed route analysis, tachograph integration or complex reporting, easyTRACK provides a complete operational solution. However, the two systems can also be used on one interface.

How is it handled from a data protection perspective?

The system displays vehicle operating data and does not perform personal profiling. Usage can be configured in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

What does this mean in practice?

The Ford dataset now provides real technical control. The system allows:

NEW GENERATION CONTROL

Electric DS models

Operations-supporting telematics System

For Ford
models

Factory data-based vehicle connection without installation

For Ford models, TELL Connect Car takes available data directly from the factory on-board data platform, providing real-time, authentic vehicle status and usage information without installation.

This is not simple mileage tracking, but a telematics system that supports real operations.

Continuous transparency is the basis for predictable operations

In the case of long-term car rental arrangements, continuous transparency of vehicle usage and technical condition is key to predictable operation.

Real-time insight into fleet operations based on factory Ford data

A reliable source of information for premium fleet operational decisions

The condition for proactive rather than reactive fleet management

TELL Connect Car enables fleet management to operate consciously and in advance, rather than in a firefighting manner.

Kilometers and maintenance and early warnings

Accurate knowledge of mileage and service needs allows for timely management of contract limits.

Continuous monitoring of factory mileage for accurate management of contractual limits

Predictability of service intervals and related technical information

Reducing depreciation and warranty risk resulting from missed services

The timely availability of data directly impacts the long-term health and value of the fleet.

Error codes, accident alerts, proactive intervention

Early detection of error codes and accident events provides an opportunity to intervene before problems have more serious consequences.

Continuous monitoring and early indication of error codes

Detecting accident events for faster response

Mitigating unexpected repair costs and operational risks

A proactive approach directly reduces downtime and preserves the fleet's revenue-generating ability.

Car rental fleets: quick turnaround, continuous availability

High utilization and fast fleet turnover

For car rental fleets, the key to profit is high utilization and fast fleet turnover.

Authentic mileage information based on factory Ford data

A stable basis for managing mileage-limited contracts

Reducing disputes during returns

Reliable data directly supports a faster and smoother rental process.

Early detection, fewer dropouts

The visibility of technical condition information and error codes allows problems to be identified during the rental.

Continuous visibility of technical status indicators and error codes

Quick response to address hidden errors

Reducing the risk of falling out of traffic

Early intervention directly reduces downtime and preserves the fleet's revenue-generating ability.

Accident alarm and electrical release

Instant detection of accident events and charging data from electric models together support fast and efficient operational decision-making.

Instant detection of accident events for faster claim settlement

Shorter downtime and faster fleet turnaround as a result of early alerts

Continuous visibility of charging status and related data for electric models

Knowing the condition data minimizes the proportion of unreleased vehicles and supports continuous fleet rotation.

Real-time data, real-time decisions

The 30-second data refresh cycle allows operational decisions to always be based on up-to-date information.

Real-time data updates to support operational decisions

Immediate response instead of post-analysis

Reliable database for daily fleet operations

TELL Connect Car is therefore not only an operational tool, but also the basis for faster, more efficient and profitable car rental operations.

Important information

For Ford vehicles , the range of available data may vary depending on model, year and equipment.
Not all types provide the same depth of data connectivity, so the exact data set is always finalized during a preliminary compatibility check.

TELL Connect Car works exclusively with the factory data set provided by Ford. The system does not require any retrofitting, does not modify the vehicle's electronics, and does not pose any warranty or technical intervention risks. The data comes from a reliable, factory source.
