Hino Partners with Telogis in Telematics Deal
Medium-duty truck maker Hino Trucks has partnered with technology supplier Telogis to provide its next-generation telematics platform.
The new platform, named Hino Insight 2.0 powered by Telogis, will provide Hino customers with access to Telogis’ applications for route optimization, real-time work order management, truck-specific navigation, telematics and mobile integration services, the companies announced June 4.
Insight 2.0 will be standard on Hino’s 2015 model year 195h and 195h-DC hybrid cabover models. It will be available as an option for its 195 and 195-DC diesel cabovers and on Hino’s full conventional truck lineup.
The platform, which will launch during the summer, uses a dashboard designed to give fleet managers a daily “snapshot” of their fleets’ diagnostics information and performance compared with established benchmarks.
“Telogis partnered with Hino to provide new and existing customers with exclusive connectivity and services that can only be achieved through this kind of integrated partnership with the manufacturer,” said Susan Heystee, executive vice president of worldwide sales at Telogis.
