Remote diagnostics proven to reduce downtime: Volvo

摘要

The ability to access and transmit critical truck engine data from trucks on the road to key decision makers responsible for their maintenance in a manner timely enough and accurate enough to allow smart decisions to be made is key to reducing downtime, Volvo Trucks North America executives believe. After listening to several motor carrier executives speak openly about the downtime plaguing the industry due to premature engine failure (an issue experienced by all engine brands) at a Volvo press event in Nashville, Tenn. at the start of the year, David Pardue, vice-president of aftermarket sales, was one of several Volvo executives who said they are working hard to be part of the solution.
