KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar has
launched a new application, OnCommand® Connection
electronic Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (eDVIR), which enables
school bus operators to digitally capture and share pre- and
post-trip and child check inspections, streamlining the inspection
process and enabling faster repairs.
"Our Android tablet-based eDVIR app is the most feature-rich,
cost-effective approach to bus inspection on the market," said
Sean Slyman, Navistar's director,
Connected Services, Bus Solutions. "It enables more efficient
inspections for drivers and more visibility for managers to
critical information for assessing and addressing vehicle
readiness."
eDVIR offers multiple advantages over existing paper-based and
digital vehicle inspection solutions. It covers all inspection
points required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and
enables customization of the inspection screen beyond these federal
requirements, ensuring that bus inspections are compliant
regardless of the jurisdiction. It permits remote retrieval of
inspection details by authorized viewers, providing immediate
visibility to technicians so defects can be addressed promptly to
improve uptime. In addition, eDVIR's innovative closed loop feature
informs drivers when an identified defect has been
repaired.
"This new eDVIR app brings the latest technology to our
customers in support of their mission to provide school children
and their families with the safest and most reliable transportation
available," said Trish Reed, vice
president and general manager of IC Bus, Navistar's school bus
brand. "This technology brings peace of mind to school bus
transportation experts, along with parents, that buses will be
safe, reliable and on time every time. It should help make the
safest form of student transportation even better."
OnCommand® Connection eDVIR provides additional value
when used in conjunction with OnCommand® Connection
Advanced Remote Diagnostics, Navistar's
industry-leading, open-architecture remote
diagnostics system, whose customers have seen an
up-to-30-percent reduction in annual repair costs and an
up-to-80-percent reduction in vehicle failures requiring a tow.
This Advanced Remote Diagnostics product, which is compatible with
all school bus makes and models, provides real-time bus location
data, generates health reports on a bus's status and also delivers
action plans to address one or more specific fault codes.
"When combined with our Advanced Remote Diagnostics solution,
OnCommand® Connection eDVIR enables a comprehensive,
360-degree view of the health of a school bus fleet," Slyman said.
"This combined solution will help school bus operators reduce their
maintenance and repair costs, while also helping provide safer
transportation for students."
