Connected truck capabilities such as remote diagnostics and over-the-air software updates are becoming more standard and more powerful as manufacturers continue to integrate them into their truck designs.
Equipped with modern telematics systems, trucks can telegraph crucial information to the fleet, the manufacturer and service providers. Instead of relying on a human poring over data, machine learning algorithms can help spot problems and trends. That information can lead to efficiency and uptime improvements such as maintenance interval adjustments. Systems can inform a fleet proactively that it should perform maintenance so it can schedule servicing with no unplanned downtime.
