"Advancements such as artificial intelligence have the potential to transform how fleets think about driver safety, efficiency and the total cost of ownership," says Tim Denny, Onward's founder and CEO. "This partnership makes AI-driven insights accessible to fleet managers everywhere."

CerebrumX's Augmented Deep Learning Platform (ADLP) will ensure the precise location of vehicles is always accessible, the companies say, with a trip history analysis to provide valuable insights into driver behavior and vehicle usage patterns.

"Customized fleet tracking is a critical aspect of fleet management, and our collaboration with Onward Fleet Solutions underscores this importance," says 

Onward will also be able to generate customized reports to enable strategic decisions, leading to improved driver safety protocols, optimized vehicle health and effective fuel management, it says. ADLP will allow Onward to set optimized charging schedules for electric vehicles (EVs) to improve battery life and efficiency, CerebrumX says.

CerebrumX can also extend its connected experience to non-connected vehicles through an aftermarket device.
