The advance of diagnostic programs has improved maintenance and uptime for diesel trucks, and it appears the same will be true for electric-powered vehicles.
Mack Trucks’ LR Electric refuse truck will be monitored by the company’s GuardDog Connect remote diagnostics platform, “just like the diesel-powered version, and it will automatically send a notification of trouble to the Mack Uptime Center,” said Roy Horton, director of product strategy.
Volvo Trucks’ electric VNR tractor also is integrated with current service and diagnostic tools. The motor controllers are connected to a diagnostic connector port to assist technicians in troubleshooting.
