Our Telematic Gateway technology connects the truck to the workshop, providing live information about the trucks’ engine, mileage and fuel consumption. Technicians can also see diagnostic trouble codes and monitor the status of numerous components, like the brake pads, clutch, the battery and more.

Monitoring your truck this way reduces unplanned stops. It also means the workshop is fully prepared when you arrive, so you’re back on the road in the shortest possible time.

Attention all truck drivers ,we got some great tips for you in regards your foglights .

  1. Be aware: Every  driver  should  watch  for  foggy conditions and be ready to reduce  speed. Don’t assume the fog will thin once you enter it.
  2. Pull of the roadway if you can: A rest area or truck stop are safest. But if you must drive, consider the following tips below.
  3. Obey all traffic signs: And fog-related warning signs.
  4. Slow down: Before entering the fog.
  5. Headlights: Use low-beam headlights and fog lights for best visibility, even in during the day.
  6. Beware of other drivers: Who may not have turned their lights on.
  7. Flashers: Turning on your four-way  flashers will give approaching vehicles a chance to notice you.
  8. Cars on the side of the road: Beware of other vehicles on the side of the road. Headlights or tail lights ahead of you are not always a good indicator of your position on the road.
