General Motors is rolling out a new technology suite through its OnStar telematics system that aims to keep a closer eye on vehicles being used for business purposes.
Called Commercial Link, the new system allows business owners to see data like vehicle location, fuel level and speed in near real-time. The system can also send service and maintenance reminders, which GM says will help keep vehicle down time to a minimum.
“Our customers are always looking for ways to increase the productivity of their vehicles, while at the same time saving money to become a better business,” said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president, General Motors Fleet. “Commercial Link is going to give them an up-to-date component they crave so that they are always in touch with their vehicles’ performance and location, no matter where they are.”
Commercial Link is available on most 2015 model year and newer Chevy, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. Those vehicle must have an active OnStar account, and the Commercial Link service adds another $10 on top of that subscription. Owners can keep tabs on their vehicles via a dedicated Website, or a mobile app for Apple and Android devices.
