A GLOBAL GROUP BUSINESS MODEL PRODUCTS IN USE
America under the names of Volvo Dynafleet, Volvo Vehicle
Remote Diagnostics, Renault OptiFleet, UD Telematics and the
Volvo CE CareTrack.
Another example is the Mack Trucks’ GuardDog Connect, which
is now active in more than 25,000 trucks. This service has delivered
a proven reduction in diagnostics time (70%) and repair time (21%).
Safety and driving comfort
Other important uptime aspects for products in use are our safety
and driver comfort features.
The new Volvo FH is the first serial-produced heavy truck avail-
able with individual front suspension that largely facilitates the
handling of the truck.
The Volvo FH was also first in bringing to market a dual clutch
system for heavy duty vehicles. With the I-Shift Dual Clutch, the
gear changes take place without any interruption in power deliv-
ery. Overall, the I-Shift Dual Clutch results in more relaxed and
therefore safer driving, while reducing wear on the driveline and
the rest of the vehicle.
For our construction equipment, suspension systems and ergo-
nomically-positioned machine interfaces increase the comfort for
the operator.
We have also developed passive and active safety solutions for
the Group’s trucks such as collisions warning systems and lane
changing assistance.
In Europe, Volvo Buses was recently recognized for its unique
Volvo Dynamic Steering stabilization system, based on Volvo
Trucks technology. The system boosts driving safety and comfort.
Now the system is being introduced on Volvo’s long-distance
coaches in Europe.
Customer competition for increased motivation
In 2015 the UD Trucks Extra Mile Challenge was completed with
the Australian team presented as the overall winner. The compe-
tition demonstrates how customers can get the most out of UD
products and services by improving fuel efficiency, uptime, and
driver skills. The competition simulates a transport delivery cycle,
and the winner is the team with the highest financial profit. The
Extra Mile Challenge demonstrates UD Trucks’ contribution to
furthering customer business success but also driver capability
and confidence, contributing to safer roads and motivated drivers.
RENAULT
TRUCKS K
Renault Trucks offers two
ranges designed for
construction work and
other special applications, the C
Construction and the K Heavy
Construction. Ruggedness,
working comfort, payload, pulling
power, efficient engines and easy
body mounting all make these the
perfect tools for businesses and
local authorities with high
demands.
