Coordinating efforts to update software in the field can be a challenge for fleet operations managers. With a TruckTech+ modem standard in all Class 8 Kenworth trucks along with a convenient mobile app, safe and timely engine software updates have never been easier.
Kenworth is once again leading the industry with cutting-edge innovation to maximize truck fleet performance and uptime.
To utilize TruckTech+ Over-the-Air updates, Kenworth operators must have:
- an active Truck Tech+ data subscription
- PACCAR Solutions credentials
- MY 2017 or newer truck with a PACCAR MX engine
- a smartphone with the PACCAR OTA (Over-the-Air) app installed
Once parked, and only once parked thanks to Kenworth’s innovative safety features, a five-second-hold of the cruise control switch connects the truck to the secure PACCAR cloud server. The in-hand mobile app initiates the software update – allowing seamless visibility between the truck driver and the fleet operations manager.
Kenworth’s Over-the-Air guide demonstrates just how simple setup can be. Contact your nearest Palmer Trucks dealership to take full advantage of your Kenworth truck technology package – maximizing uptime and efficiency!
