Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems comprising vehicle fleet management systems are disclosed. One embodiment is a method that provides a plurality of predetermined powertrain trim templates, where each of the plurality of predetermined powertrain trim templates specifies a plurality of powertrain trim parameters implementable by an electronic powertrain control system to control one or more operational response characteristics of the powertrain. The method includes selecting one of the plurality of predetermined powertrain trim templates and one of a plurality of vehicles of a vehicle fleet to receive the selected one of the plurality of predetermined powertrain trim templates. In response to the act of selecting one of the plurality of predetermined powertrain trim templates, the method transmits via a telematics network one or more modified powertrain trim parameters. Further, the method receives the modified powertrain trim parameters with a telematics system of the selected one of the plurality of vehicles of the vehicle fleet. Also, the method applies the modified trim parameters with the electronic powertrain control system to control the one or more operational response characteristics of the powertrain.
