International Truck, the commercial truck brand of Navistar International Corp., announced it launched Intelligent Fleet Care, a suite of connected-vehicle solutions that will be standard for its new on-highway vehicles ordered starting Dec. 15.
It’s a package approach that customers want, according to the Lisle, Ill.-based company.
“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,” said Chintan Sopariwala, vice president of aftersales operation and connected vehicles at Navistar.
