HCSS Fleet now pulls engine hours, miles and fuel straight from Motive

HCSS Fleet now pulls engine hours, odometer readings and fuel use straight from Motive, so crews no longer have to key them in by hand. Motive-equipped vehicles and assets also appear on the same map as OEM-connected and HCSS-tracked equipment.

  • 02How much a contractor gains depends on fleet mix: the more units carrying Motive, the more of the fleet map fills in without anyone typing.
  • 03The question for equipment managers now is which telematics source each asset should report through, because HCSS Fleet takes in OEM, HCSS and Motive data side by side.
