Vehicle maintenance professionals sit at the center of a tilting world

Vehicle maintenance pro’s sit at the center of the tilting world. Connectivity and truck use are what matters as opposed to ownership. There were a number of themes that dominated the trucking industry in 2016 and the one main thing was connectivity. That word has come to represent a proxy of the future.

Key Takeaways:

• For the trucking industry, 2016 was a year dominated by a number of themes, but one single word: “connectivity.” It has come to represent a proxy for the future – whatever that may be.
• The core task demanded of the vehicle maintenance professional, nonetheless, remains as it always has been: to keep the vehicle out of the shop and on the highway where it earns it’s living. But the means by which that task is effected have changed markedly.
• This genie is now firmly out of the bottle. As we move towards new iterations of GHG (greenhouse gases) regulation, the landscape upon which the OEMs compete has shifted significantly.
