Grosvenor, the UK’s largest privately-owned contract hire, fleet management and EV salary sacrifice specialist, has unveiled a significant technological leap forward with the introduction of its Advanced Remote Connectivity (ARC) system.
This innovative, proactive service, maintenance and repairs (SMR) solution works by drawing data directly from each vehicle. This real-time connection feeds directly into Grosvenor’s award-winning OSCAR fleet management system to provide crucial information, including true odometer readings, service and maintenance countdowns, fuel or EV battery levels, and vehicle dashboard warning lights.
For most vehicles, the system can be activated remotely, eliminating the need for device installation and connecting via their onboard diagnostics (OBD) systems, providing instant data access. As a result, Grosvenor’s maintenance team has complete visibility of each vehicle’s health status, manufacturer-recommended service schedules and crucial driving behaviour metrics – all vital components in significantly improving the management of SMR and reducing vehicle downtime.
The operational advantages delivered by ARC are tangible. It facilitates proactive SMR coordination, moving beyond reactive repairs. For instance, if a tyre needs replacing, ARC gives the fleet management team visibility of the service countdown days directly from the vehicle, allowing them to schedule both tasks for a single garage appointment, saving time and resources. Furthermore, ARC provides precise mileage tracking, crucial for managing lease agreements and avoiding financial penalties for excess mileage.
ARC also provides a full telematics solution which means companies do not need to invest in a separate telematics device.
Beyond operational efficiency, ARC enhances fleet safety and driver management. The system identifies driving patterns indicative of higher risk, such as frequent harsh braking, rapid acceleration, or consistent speeding.
Armed with this objective data, Grosvenor can recommend targeted driver training interventions. This proactive approach not only fosters safer driving habits and reduces collision potential but also contributes to better vehicle health and further minimises downtime.
Delivering exceptional value, Grosvenor offers the sophisticated ARC system at a price point often matching, or even below, that of conventional vehicle tracking systems.
With ARC, Grosvenor provides its customers with a truly comprehensive, real-time vehicle data solution, solidifying its commitment to enhancing fleet efficiency and driving down operational costs through superior connected vehicle insights.
