Revolutionizing Connectivity:
Volvo Trucks North America aims to revolutionize commercial vehicle connectivity with the launch of the new VNL. From its inception, the truck was engineered to seamlessly integrate with existing telematics technology and future connectivity systems, setting the stage for enhanced customer satisfaction and profitability.
Volvo Connect: A Comprehensive Fleet Management Portal:

From vehicle data insights to diagnostics, fuel economy reports, safety features, and location services, Volvo Connect empowers fleet managers with unprecedented control and visibility over their operations.
Maximizing Uptime with Remote Monitoring:
The VNL’s integration with Volvo Connect extends beyond the fleet management portal. With features like remote monitoring through the Volvo My Truck app and the Uptime Center, drivers and fleet managers can stay connected to their vehicles 24/7. The Uptime Center provides real-time alerts and notifications, ensuring proactive maintenance and minimizing unplanned downtime
E-Call Emergency Response System:
Volvo Trucks introduces the industry-first E-Call emergency response system with the new VNL. This self-activating crash notification system automatically connects drivers with 9-1-1 dispatchers in the event of a rollover or airbag deployment. With precise location details provided to emergency responders, Volvo prioritizes safety and rapid response in critical situations.
Fully Integrated ELD Solution:
In compliance with electronic logging device (ELD) mandates, the new VNL offers a fully integrated ELD solution powered by Geotab. This system allows drivers to maintain logs through the truck’s infotainment screen, eliminating the need for external devices. Fleets can access and review logs remotely, streamlining compliance and enhancing efficiency.
All-in-One Fleet Management Portal:
Volvo Connect facilitates holistic fleet management by providing actionable insights into driver behavior, fuel consumption, safety practices, and diagnostic data. Fleet managers can access real-time and historical data, generate comprehensive reports, and optimize performance through remote programming and diagnostics.
My Truck App: Empowering Drivers with Connectivity:
The My Truck app bridges the gap between drivers and their vehicles, providing access to essential truck information and control features through smartphones or tablets. From monitoring engine fluid levels to scheduling climate control settings, drivers can stay connected and in control wherever they go.
Maximizing Uptime with Remote Diagnostics:
Through Volvo Connect, fleet managers can leverage remote diagnostics to monitor software status and perform updates proactively. By ensuring that trucks are running the latest software versions, Volvo minimizes unplanned stops and maximizes uptime, translating to greater efficiency and profitability for fleets.
Conclusion:
The all-new Volvo VNL sets a new benchmark in fleet connectivity and management. With its array of advanced features, including Volvo Connect, E-Call emergency response system, integrated ELD solution, and My Truck app, the VNL empowers fleets to optimize performance, enhance safety, and maximize uptime in an increasingly connected world.
