Networkcar, subsidiary of Hughes Telematics, is changing its name to Networkfleet, reflecting the company's sole focus on helping commercial and government fleets to increase operating efficiency and reduce costs.
Having recently expanded its headquarters with a move to a larger, newly renovated building in San Diego, Networkfleet was the first to develop a wireless diagnostic monitoring system that connects directly to a vehicle's on-board diagnostic OBD-II port. The company and its affiliates now have more than fifty patents issued or pending surrounding vehicle diagnostics.
According to Keith Schneider, Networkfleet president, there are many small competitors in this business, and customers are looking for a stable partner.
