Hear what your Daimler vehicles are telling you.
Early on, Daimler Trucks of North America wanted to see the how, why, when and what of everything that happens in each vehicle. Daimler also knew its customers would benefit from having access to early vehicle data and the in-depth expert analysis if they experienced any issues.
In 2010, they turned to Zonar to develop Detroit Connect® Virtual Technician®, an innovative, data-driven engine diagnostic monitoring service that comes standard on Daimler brand commercial vehicles. All so fleets like yours can cut costs and improve safety for your Daimler vehicles, anytime, anywhere.
