" Many Ford Power-Up software updates
are seamless, enabled through an innovative,
cloud-connected, and vehicle software platform
that keeps current software running until the
new version is ready to go so fleet managers do
not need to schedule updates, they happen automatically, "
Purdy explained. " These upgrades
can help improve the ownership and vehicle
management experience and may help reduce
the need for repair trips-over time helping to
contribute to a lower total cost of operation.
Additionally, new features can be pushed to
the vehicle as fleet managers 'plus up' their Ford
Pro Telematics or E-Telematics subscriptions to
include features like In-Cab Driver Coaching
and Driver ID. "
Currently, remote updates require keeping
the vehicle stationary for an OTA action to take
REMOVE RUSTED AND OBSTRUCTED DIESEL NOx & PARTICULATE SENSORS " THE SHOCKIT™ WAY " !

place, Gattamorta adds. " Fleet managers should
find the best spot to execute these operations
in terms of network coverage but also driver
and freight availability, " he advised. " Also,
keep in mind that technology is improving, but
in some cases, it might fail due to the multiple
factors involved. Even today, we lose internet
connection for some brief period of time in many
locations, so that situation is very sensitive for
remote updates as the messages should
not be delayed more than some milliseconds.
A corruption of the communication
might corrupt the ECM memory;
therefore, the engine will not crank. "

A future on the fly?
OTA updates are still brand new, in
technological terms. And, just like
any other technology, its capabilities
will expand and the process itself will
become more efficient over time. Which
raises some interesting possibilities
when considering the future of OTA
technology: Might it be possible to one
day update trucks while they're actually
driving down the road? Might it be
possible to have OTA updates initiated
by preset geofencing-to reconfigure an
engine that is moving into mountainous
terrain, for example, from making
fuel economy a priority to giving the
driver more power to deal with steep
mountain grades?
Experts say that, in all likelihood,

these capabilities and many others
will eventually become reality for fleets
using OTA updates. But there are still
many basic operating parameters that
have to be worked out first.

duty trucks, eventually, it is likely that a
central telematics platform will become
the standard and allow one gateway to
the vehicle rather than each component
having to maintain their own
connection, " Lackey mused. " In fact,
the Society of Automotive Engineers
(SAE) has already begun working on
messaging that would allow multiple
components to share usage of a central
telematics gateway. "
But, Lackey added, as trucks and

trucking components become more
connected by the day, it only makes
sense that OTA processes will improve,
and more parts of the truck will be
updated remotely. " If OEMs relinquish
the sole ability to provide applications
that deliver these updates, the technology
could be rolled into remote diagnostic
applications or other tools offered by
telematics providers, " he added. " In that
case, fleets could recognize in real time
when critical updates can improve the
performance of their vehicles. "
