By Jim Gibbins - 1st October 2019
Germany – The Mercedes-Benz Actros or Arocs heavy trucks fitted with Multimedia Cockpit Interactive, are now just one click away from a comprehensive, fully networked world of vehicles, drivers and logistic services. One touch on the Connect icon presents an overview of all the installed available apps.
Use of the Mercedes-Benz Truck App Portal is designed to allow users to make the most of new networking opportunities available and to equip their trucks with efficiency - and comfort-enhancing apps. It offers three types of apps: in-house apps from Daimler, which include apps from Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Fleetboard; selected apps from third-party providers – such as digital handling of processes or the handling of transport requests; and apps of the customer. Use of these apps make it possible to effectively integrate the truck into the digital business processes of the transport company and are aimed at making the everyday life of drivers, dispatchers and fleet managers easier.
