PACCAR Connect is a comprehensive platform that combines in-vehicle hardware and software to provide real-time fleet monitoring and management. With an optional detachable tablet in the cab and an easy-to-access online portal, fleet operators can now keep track of their DAF vehicles’ performance and optimise their operations.
The integration of Goodyear’s DriverHub expands this platform’s digital ecosystem. This tyre monitoring app alerts drivers to tyre pressure and temperature deviations, allowing for proactive maintenance. It detects both fast and slow pressure leaks, helping fleet managers address issues before they lead to costly breakdowns, reducing downtime and enhancing road safety.
Goodyear DriverHub’s predictive maintenance capabilities not only reduce the risk of breakdowns but also contribute to fleet efficiency and sustainability. By ensuring that tyres are properly maintained, the app can improve fuel efficiency and help reduce emissions—key goals for modern fleet operations striving to meet sustainability targets.
“By welcoming a wide range of third-party applications like Goodyear DriverHub into PACCAR Connect, we are providing our customers with a versatile and comprehensive digital environment,” said Luuk Tuijtelaars, Director & Support EU at PACCAR Connected Services. “This diverse ecosystem of integrated third-party applications enhances the usability of PACCAR Connect, empowering drivers and fleet managers with valuable tools that support smarter, more efficient, and more productive operations.”
Goodyear’s Managing Director of Fleet Mobility EMEA, Piotr Czyżyk, added: “We are excited to bring the Goodyear DriverHub application to PACCAR Connect. This integration allows fleet managers and drivers of DAF trucks to make even more informed decisions based on real-time tyre data, helping to reduce costs and improve fleet efficiency.”
The Goodyear DriverHub application is now available on all new DAF trucks equipped with PACCAR Connect, providing fleets with an integrated solution to help them stay competitive in today’s demanding transportation landscape.
