This partnership aims to enhance the fleet management capabilities and driver safety of its trucks in Australia.

Built in collaboration with Cojali and based on its Jaltest platform, ACom AE brings advanced diagnostic capabilities tailored to the electronic systems in new modern electric commercial vehicles.

This new mechatronics laboratory is designed to increase the efficiency of software verification and validation and is expected to cut costs by some 70-80% compared with traditional methods.

New plants are expected to enhance Bosch’s components position in the country’s rapidly expanding new energy vehicle (NEV) supply chain.

The new GNSS-based toll collection system is scheduled to be implemented by April 2025.

Scania says that, with “Complete Fleet”, it addresses the fact that many operators have mixed fleets of trucks and trailers of different ages and from different manufacturers.

Improvements to the group’s I-See intelligent telemetry, means now it can anticipate curves and roundabouts, and can automatically adjust the powertrain to optimize performance and safety during the trip.

As part of its ‘Blue Service Contract’, offered to North American customers, Volvo NA is now using an adaptive maintenance system which dynamically changes service intervals based on the performance and application of the truck.

“By partnering with Phillips Connect, we are integrating innovative real-time tractor-trailer pairing validation directly into any workflow app, scaling a fleet’s existing setup without the need for complex change,” said Jake Fields, co-founder and CTO of Platform Science.

All new SmarTrailer’s will be equipped with TC Trailer Gateway, enabling real-time vehicle management. This systems monitors driver behaviour, vehicle location and gathers data (and transmits the data) from various trailer components such as temperature sensors, brake systems and tyre pressure.

With the Eclipse CANought project, the partners hope to advance the development of software-defined vehicles by making it easier for commercial vehicles to receive updates over the air.

Isuzu said the two companies, “Plan to accelerate joint development of Level 4 autonomous trucks based on a partnership strategy that spans five years."
