It\u2019s time for the digital revolution to make its way into trucks. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the most important innovations being showcased in ground-breaking new heavy vehicles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wtransnet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/smart-truck-innovation-technology-truck.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1580\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wtransnet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/smart-truck-innovation-technology-truck.jpg\" alt=\"smart-truck-innovation-technology-truck\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wtransnet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/smart-truck-innovation-technology-truck.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.wtransnet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/smart-truck-innovation-technology-truck-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are three categories that distinguish a smart truck from a standard truck are <strong>infotainment<\/strong>, connectivity and an ambitious future, represented by automatic driving. That said, these features are nothing new to those who already work with these types of vehicles; in fact, only a few <strong>improvements<\/strong> or <strong>tweaks<\/strong> are required to incorporate tech already available for cars, particularly when it comes to infotainment and connectivity. <strong>Volvo<\/strong> is working on creating a system that can <strong>simultaneously<\/strong> integrate mobile device <strong>management<\/strong> and <strong>GPS<\/strong> navigation, moving forward with connectivity while still focusing on entertainment \u2013 the Swedish brand now makes it possible for truck drivers to listen to the radio and stream music with both manual voice-control capabilities. <strong>Mercedes<\/strong>, meanwhile, turns its attention to Smartphone connectivity, working together with Scania to become the first to incorporate the <strong>Apple Car<\/strong> into the cabs of trucks, an innovative system uses voice-control and Siri to safely manage different applications like maps, checking email and listening to music.<\/p>\n<p>So far, top brands have focused on features that have already been incorporated into vehicles (GPS, music playback, etc.). However, the most significant innovation comes from integrating <strong>fleet management<\/strong> into the vehicle\u2019s entire technological system. The sector\u2019s true future lies in this field, with Scania already managing 250,000 trucks with a system that allows remote diagnosis and fleet management with real-time tracking. The tech is integrated to such a high degree that the smartphone\u2019s camera can even be used to check how different vehicle parts are running. Volvo is also making moves in this direction and is working to <strong>monitor truck activity <\/strong>and the condition of its parts in order to create a system that prevents unforeseen stops. This is the beginning of a process that seems to ultimately lead to automatic truck driving and maintenance. Although it still seems like a dream, some brands like Mercedes and a few starts-ups are testing this possibility.<\/p>\n<p>While the future still isn\u2019t quite here yet, all these changes are geared towards increasing <strong>productivity<\/strong> and efficiency when it comes to using heavy vehicles in the transport sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The future will be smart: the most renowned brands will design their vehicles with integrated tech in mind.
