Volvo Trucks Delivers 25,000th Truck with Remote Diagnostics
Volvo Trucks has just rolled past a major milestone: the company’s Remote Diagnostics connected vehicle platform is now providing proactive diagnostic and repair planning assistance to 25,000 trucks throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Averitt Express of Cookesville, Tennessee, a transportation and supply chain management provider operating 700 Volvo trucks, recently took delivery of the 25,000th truck, a Volvo VNL 670.
“The Remote Diagnostics feature allows our corporate maintenance team to work with our drivers and in-house shops, to proactively assess and address issues,” said Steve Maxson, vice president of equipment for Averitt Express.
“This dramatically reduces downtime, which keeps our equipment on the road delivering the freight on time,” Maxon addd.
Standard on all new Volvo-powered vehicles, Remote Diagnostics has reduced the average diagnostic time at a service location by up to 70 percent and lowered the average time of repair by more than 20 percent.
In addition, Remote Diagnostics helps improve parts availability and provides technicians at the repairing dealer with easy-to-read repair instructions before the truck arrives for service.
