LISLE, Ill., June 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- International
Trucks announced that effective immediately, all new on-highway
International® trucks sold in the U.S. and Canada will be equipped with an
OnCommand® Connection telematics device with two free
years of service included.
The OnCommand Connection device integrates a cellular-enabled
hardware platform with a range of technology solutions, including
telematics and the OnCommand Connection Advanced Remote Diagnostics
platform. The device and two years of service will be offered as
standard on all International® LT® Series,
RH™ Series and LoneStar® models using
International® or Cummins® engines.
"Fleet managers are looking for more efficient ways of improving
vehicle uptime, proactively reducing maintenance and repair costs,
and improving driver experience and retention," said Michael Cancelliere, president, Navistar Truck
and Parts. "By bringing together a full range of solutions in one
integrated device, OnCommand Connection telematics will enable
fleets to manage these issues with optimal efficiency and
productivity."
In addition, the OnCommand Connection platform is built with an
open architecture and integrated with over 25 telematics service
providers, allowing fleets to manage all their vehicles through one
easy-to-use interface, regardless of make or model.
With OnCommand Connection, International is the only truck OEM
that has built and supports its own telematics solution.
Cancelliere cited the important role OnCommand Connection services
are playing in enabling fleets to convert reactive vehicle
maintenance into predictive maintenance for improved uptime.
"Making OnCommand Connection telematics standard in our
on-highway vehicles demonstrates we are fully committed to
delivering on our brand promise of customer uptime," Cancelliere
said. "Our ultimate goal is to convert all maintenance into
planned, routine maintenance that enables trucks to maximize the
time they spend on the road."
