IVECO value-adds S-Way

News

8 Nov

IVECO has recently introduced two initiatives for its S-Way range, 'IVECO ON' Telematics and 'EasyRoad' Maintenance and Repair Agreements, to help owners better manage their operating costs.

With high fuel prices, registration and maintenance costs currently impacting the transport industry, operators are facing increasing challenges to profitability, but two IVECO initiatives – ‘IVECO ON’ Telematics and ‘EasyRoad’ Maintenance and Repair Agreements – are making it a little easier to keep the wheels turning.

IVECO ON

Perfect for monitoring vehicle performance, IVECO provides its ‘IVECO ON’ Telematics as a complementary service on all new S-Way and ACCO models for five years.

IVECO ON offers a range of measures to help improve fleet safety and productivity while reducing operating costs. Using S-Way and ACCO’s connected on-board Driving Style Evaluation (DSE) system, regular reports are available to owners and fleet managers. The reports include detailed fuel consumption and driving style data, allowing changes to be made to improve fuel efficiency. The system can also provide live tips to further promote frugal driving on-route.

Boosting safety is another key benefit of IVECO ON, with the system monitoring and providing alerts on things such as harsh braking and acceleration, and more. Detailed reports can be downloaded for further analysis and consultation to cover any areas of concern.

IVECO ON can also assist to minimise fleet down-time by taking a proactive approach to vehicle maintenance. The program provides detailed insights into vehicle operating data including odometer readings, scheduled maintenance reporting, and instrument cluster light alerts covering battery voltage level and engine coolant, engine oil and transmission fluid status.

Remote assistance servicing with remote diagnostics, teleservices and over-the-air software updates are further features of the system, which are available through the IVECO Customer Uptime Centre.

Customer Uptime Centre

The Uptime Centre is a collaboration between IVECO and the Dealer Network, with the goal of providing advice on planned intervention to avoid unforeseen downtime, thereby increasing productivity for IVECO owners.

Using IVECO On Telematics data, the Customer Uptime Centre proactively monitors vehicles for alerts triggered by the system. In the event immediate intervention is required, the Customer Uptime Centre will organise for the vehicle to be taken to the nearest IVECO Dealer. This provides peace of mind for IVECO customers and helps maximise uptime.

IVECO EasyRoad

IVECO also has a range of maintenance and repair solutions available to owners, including ‘EasyRoad’ which is included on all new S-Way models.

EasyRoad covers the maintenance and repair cost of these vehicles for 12 months / 150,000 kilometres or 3,000 engine hours, whichever comes first.

Maintenance and repairs are provided by IVECO factory trained technicians with work undertaken to operator manual requirements using IVECO genuine parts and fluids. The program effectively minimises service and repair costs during program duration, reducing variable fleet costs for greater budget control. Uptime is also maximised by ensuring trucks are serviced to exacting IVECO requirements.

For additional cost, customers wanting extra support can opt to extend the EasyRoad maintenance and repair solutions for up to 5 years / 1 million kilometres by requesting a customised quotation from their IVECO Dealer.
