We\u2019ve gone from R&amp;D mode to operations mode for fleet operations in a hurry, and that\u2019s required a lot of nimbleness from our team. We\u2019ve overcome them with some amazing data systems that we\u2019ve developed over the years to manage remote insights into any vehicle issues, as well as our camaraderie and teamwork to manage extended support hours.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>What kind of impact are you hoping to create with VeloMetro?
