Mack Trucks Announces Proactive Maintenance Telematics Program<\/h1>\n

For the most part, fleet telematics systems have been mainly reactive in scope \u2013 more of a solution to help fleet managers solve an immediate breakdown or repair crisis. Now, Mack Trucks says it is taking its telematics capabilities to the next level with dynamic maintenance \u2013 an enhanced telematics systems that allows fleet managers to be proactive and tailor maintenance programs to meet specific vehicle and operational requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cMack is focused on providing customers options to improve their total cost of ownership through connected vehicle services. Enhancing maintenance planning utilizing existing vehicle telematics and data analytics is yet another way in which we accomplish this. Vehicle technology and data provide us the capability to \u2018customize\u2019 planning so that it\u2019s specific to a vehicle and its operation,\u201d said David Pardue, vice president of connected vehicle and contract services for Mack Trucks. \u201cThis enables customers to optimize planned downtime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mack says its dynamic maintenance service further expands the partnership with Noregon, an IoT (Internet of Things) company, specializing in connected vehicle solutions. Mack\u2019s approach uses the Noregon platform to enhance the dealer user interface and brings the decision-making process closer to the customer through the dealer.<\/p>\n

Dynamic maintenance leverages data intelligence from vehicle data analytics, combined with enhanced software features from Mack\u00a0GuardDog Connect telematics, the Noregon platform, and Mack\u2019s Asist service communications process to more accurately reflect planned maintenance needs and replace traditional \u2018set mileage scheduled\u2019 plans.<\/p>\n

Currently, dynamic maintenance is targeted to powertrain-related maintenance services. \u201cThis is just another step forward in our connected technology journey, and will help our dealers prepare for changing and future vehicle maintenance opportunities,\u201d Pardue said.<\/p>\n
