LISLE, Ill., Nov. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
International® Truck, the commercial truck brand of
Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV), has launched
Intelligent Fleet Care, the industry's most comprehensive standard
suite of connected vehicle solutions, which will be standard for
its new on-highway vehicles ordered starting December 15.
"We are committed to incorporating proactive and predictive
maintenance tools into our daily operations to improve uptime and
reduce costs," said Tony Wahl, Director of Equipment
Purchasing, Werner Enterprises. "Intelligent Fleet Care is already
delivering results in these areas. It shows the extensive
partnership we've had with International, and the strong promise
for our fleet management needs moving forward."
Intelligent Fleet Care builds on International's track record of
connected vehicle leadership, established with the company's
groundbreaking, all-makes OnCommand® Connection advanced
remote diagnostics and its International®
360 service communications and fleet management platform.
Along with these capabilities, Intelligent Fleet Care adds multiple
solutions that are driven by vehicle performance and telematics
data:
- Fleet Health Monitoring that delivers greater uptime by
helping fleets avoid roadside breakdowns and derate events.
- Advanced Preventive Maintenance that delivers
maintenance cost savings through more efficient preventive
maintenance planning and fewer premature oil changes.
- Advanced Fuel Analytics, a new premium tool that helps
fleets identify opportunities for increased fuel efficiency through
driver coaching.
- Tire Pressure Monitor Reporting, a new premium tire
pressure management solution that enables fleet- and driver-level
visibility to TPMS data, helping to ensure that vehicles are being
operated safely, with optimal fuel efficiency and longer tire
life.
- Over the Air Programming, which provides unlimited
programmable parameter updates and enables vehicle software
calibration updates without taking vehicles out of service.
- Gateway Integrations, which enable the use of Navistar's
factory-installed telematics device to provide access to select
third-party fleet management tools of the customer's choice, saving
up to $500 in upfront hardware
costs.
All these data-driven solutions are included as standard for
five years on new International® LT® Series,
International® RH™ Series and
International® LoneStar® models. Depending on
the application, it's estimated that fleets can save over
$12,000 per vehicle over those five
years.
"With Intelligent Fleet Care, we are delivering what our fleet
customers have told us they are looking for," said Chintan Sopariwala, vice president, Aftersales
Operation & Connected Vehicle, Navistar. "They want actionable
insights into the health status of their fleet and what needs to be
done to keep it up. They want a faster, more efficient service and
repair process. And along with this, they want predictive
diagnostics and other solutions that enable them to optimize the
fleet's performance. With Intelligent Fleet Care, they will now
command all these benefits in one comprehensive package."
"Our commitment to our customers is to help them avoid
breakdowns, drive greater uptime and lower total cost of
ownership," said Chet Ciesielski,
vice president, On-Highway Business, Navistar. "Intelligent Fleet
Care delivers proactive and predictive tools that helps customers
do this. It makes things visible, easy to understand and
actionable."
Ciesielski cited four key differences in International's
approach to connected technology and remote diagnostics that are
reflected in International® Intelligent Fleet Care,
including:
- Serves all makes. International is the only OEM that
provides a single-source view for all-makes fleets.
- Most integrated. International is the first and only OEM
that integrates data from more than 28 telematics providers.
- Most customer-centric. International offers easy-to-use
interfaces with tools that are built around how fleets operate,
maintain and service their fleet.
- Most comprehensive. International offers the industry's
most complete set of connected solutions, which are standard for
