Donlen’s DriverPoint Telematics Now Fully Integrated With Ford Vehicles
Donlen is proud to announce that DriverPoint® Telematics is now fully integrated with Ford 2020 model year vehicles.
The joint integration uses Ford built-in modems to track driver behavior and capture vehicle and diagnostic data, without the need for an additional physical device. That data is then immediately uploaded to FleetWeb®, Donlen’s centralized fleet management platform, providing access to the insights customers need for internal policy improvements, driver coaching and training, and enhanced driver safety.
“Our partnership and integration with Ford will allow Donlen customers with Ford vehicles to access their vehicle and fleet data faster than ever,” said Donlen’s Director of Telematics & Safety Products Elizabeth Rossiter.

The downside is that repairs cost more when ADAS components are damaged or even jarred slightly in minor collisions. Sensors integral to ADAS usually live in peripheral, easy-to-damage areas—inside bumpers and windshields, and in side mirrors.
“Ten years ago, our average repair ticket was about $1,600,” said Tim Cook, owner of “A” Auto Body Shop in the Richmond, Va., area, which is qualified to work on ADAS-equipped cars. “Now, it’s over $4,000. We’re seeing more and more cars declared total losses because of the cost of repairing them.”
