Geotab and OEM Telematics for Ford Vehicles

OEM telematics uses the built-in connectivity already available in compatible Ford vehicles to send fleet data into Geotab’s MyGeotab platform. This allows Ford vehicle owners to access GPS tracking, vehicle activity, safety data, and performance insights without installing a separate tracking device.

For eligible Ford vehicles with factory-installed telematics, no additional Geotab GO device is required. Activation can be completed remotely once the vehicle’s VIN is confirmed.

Vehicle data is collected through the Ford vehicle’s built-in telematics system, transferred securely to Geotab, standardized, and then displayed inside MyGeotab for fleet management.

Compatibility depends on the vehicle model, year, region, and available factory-installed telematics. Geotab notes that Ford vehicles from 2019 or newer may be eligible, but compatibility should always be confirmed by VIN.

Depending on vehicle compatibility, you may be able to view location data, vehicle activity, driver behaviour, fuel consumption, safety events, maintenance-related insights, EV data, and fleet reports in MyGeotab.
