DAF introduces PACCAR Connect

Truck maker DAF has introduced PACCAR Connect, a new online fleet management platform for optimum efficiency.

According to DAF, PACCAR Connect is easily accessible and allows very simple integration with existing third-party software. Every new DAF XB, XD, XF, XG and XG+ is supplied as standard in combination with no less than 10 years of PACCAR Connect.

PACCAR Connect consists of a number of components: hardware and software in the truck, a detachable tablet (optional) in the cab and an online portal that can be accessed on almost any fixed or mobile device.

PACCAR Connect can provide real-time information anytime, anywhere on the performance of individual vehicles and the entire fleet, logistical processes and the performance of drivers, thereby helping operators to optimise their returns.

One of the major benefits of PACCAR Connect is that existing logistical applications from so-called ‘third parties’ can use data from the online portal. This makes it easier to monitor logistical processes and the performance of a fleet from a computer, laptop or even a tablet.

The PACCAR Connect Tablet also helps make the work of the driver easier and more efficient, as it can connect the mobile services of PACCAR Connect to the DAF navigation system. This means that new routes drawn up by the operator’s home base can be sent directly to the DAF Truck Navigation system.
