Force Motors introduces iPulse platform for fleet intelligence and predictive diagnostics
Force Motors has launched Force iPulse , a connected vehicle platform designed to offer fleet intelligence and predictive diagnostics . Developed in collaboration with Intangles, the platform will be available as a factory-fitted feature across the company's commercial vehicle range and as an aftermarket solution through its authorised dealerships. iPulse has been introduced under Project DigiForce and aims to support vehicle lifecycle management through real-time data analytics. It is accessible via both mobile and desktop applications and will be integrated across Force Motors' network of more than 300 service touchpoints. AI-based monitoring and predictive capability Unlike conventional vehicle monitoring systems, iPulse interprets high-resolution vehicular data to detect early signs of performance issues. It performs root-cause analysis across major subsystems such as the engine, powertrain, electrical, and thermal systems, allowing fleet operators to take corrective action before faults result in breakdowns or unplanned downtime. Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors, said, 'Force iPulse is more than just a technological solution—it is a business enabler for our customers. It brings in transparency, improves efficiency, and ensures safety across operations, thereby equipping our customers with complete control over their fleet operations.' Built on a secure, cloud-native framework, iPulse provides fleet managers with live and historical operational data, covering driver behaviour, fuel efficiency, and vehicle health metrics. A dedicated Intelligence Command Centre at Force Motors' Pune headquarters has also been established to support remote monitoring and diagnostics. This is supported by a 24/7 support infrastructure across the country, the company said in a media release. Anup Patil, CEO of Intangles, commented: 'Partnering with Force Motors is an opportunity to bring high-impact technology into the hands of operators who face real-world challenges every day. Our goal is to complement Force Motors' product strength with advanced diagnostics and predictive AI that enhance system-level visibility, improve maintenance planning, and enable more confident, data-backed decision-making across the vehicle lifecycle.' Force iPulse will be a standard feature in all new Force commercial vehicles and available as a certified retrofit option through dealerships. The system is built to support continuous learning and integration with Force Motors' existing service ecosystem.

Force Motors launches AI-driven fleet intelligence analytics platform
Pune-based automaker Force Motors on Tuesday announced the launch of a new connected vehicle platform for AI-driven fleet intelligence and predictive analytics, and said the new offering will come as a standard feature across all its commercial vehicles besides as a certified aftermarket solution through authorized dealerships. Developed in collaboration with Intangles and built on a secure, cloud-native architecture, the iPulse platform provides intuitive access to live and historical vehicle intelligence, with insights available across mobile and desktop environments. From driver behaviour and fuel efficiency to system health and performance benchmarks, the platform offers a unified operational view that helps fleet managers detect inefficiencies, enforce best practices, and optimize total cost of ownership, Force Motors said. Available through the company's extensive dealership network of over 300 touchpoints, with field deployment and support facilitated by both Force Motors and Intangles' integrated service teams, the flagship offering under Project DigiForce, Force goes beyond a digital upgrade, representing a foundational shift in how vehicle performance, health, and operational behaviours are understood and managed, the company said. The platform continuously ingests and interprets high-resolution vehicular data to power predictive insights, enabling early detection of performance degradation and preemptive identification of component failure, it said. "The platform brings in transparency, improves efficiency, and ensures safety across operations, thereby equipping our customers with complete control over their fleet operations. We are confident that this new initiative will be well appreciated by both our customers as well as our partners and help take us another step forward in delivering our promise of customer delight," said Prasan Firodia, Managing Director at Force Motors. The company said the system performs root-cause analysis across key subsystems, including engine, powertrain, electrical and thermal systems, allowing for proactive interventions that prevent escalation and unplanned downtime. Its ability to distinguish between surface-level symptoms and systemic issues empowers fleet operators to act precisely, not reactively. The company said it has also established a dedicated Intelligence Command Center at its Pune headquarters for remote vehicle monitoring, alert management, and expert-guided resolutions along with a 24/7 support infrastructure, for delivering timely assistance and issue resolution across India's dynamic fleet landscape. "Our goal is to complement Force Motors' product strength with advanced diagnostics and predictive AI that enhance system-level visibility, improve maintenance planning, and enable more confident, data-backed decision-making across the vehicle lifecycle. Partnering with Force Motors is an opportunity to bring high-impact technology into the hands of operators who face real-world challenges every day," said Anup Patil, CEO of Intangles. PTI
