Scania launches digital platform to connected services
With a quarter of a million connected Scania vehicles, Scania One provides simple access to efficiency-enhancing servicesAt the recent Mobile World Congress, Scania launched Scania One, which provides a single digital environment to a host of connected services for fleet owners and drivers.
Through Scania One, fleet owners and drivers will have access to connected services that can simplify and improve their transport jobs. It consists of an open customer platform for existing and future Scania services as well as external content in an Android tablet device.
"Scania One is our framework for seamlessly and efficiently integrating both current and future services in a single environment," says Christian Levin, Executive Vice President, Head of Sales and Marketing, Scania. "I am convinced that these services, taken together, will significantly contribute towards greater efficiency and thereby higher revenues for transport companies."
Scania One is based on communications giant Ericsson’s software. Since services may be added at will, Scania One offers an attractive single-device choice. From the purpose-built tablet, drivers can access all apps that the transport company subscribes to.
Scania One features Scania Fleet Management, the comprehensive monitoring and analytical system that provides fleet owners with an overview of equipment and drivers. It offers in-depth data on performance trends that directly affect costs, such as fuel consumption and wear. Scania says it is also an invaluable tool in fleet planning, providing information on position and when servicing is needed.
The condensed Fleet Performance app provides an abbreviated version of Scania Fleet Management with the most pertinent information.
Some of the services Scania One initially features include:
Check before drive – A digital checklist for guided daily inspections of brand-neutral vehicle and trailer status, with time saving opportunities to continuously record observations as the basis for service planning.
Scania Assistance – This allows drivers to digitally contact Scania’s assistance service and transmits their position for speedy remedial roadside and workshop action.
Guide me – This guides drivers through an interactive tool with augmented reality functionality in acquainting themselves with basic functions. With the mobile device camera, dashboard symbols can be scanned to provide information in text or video.
Scania says it will continuously add new features while also encouraging developers to add useful services, building a platform for optimised and efficient transport solutions.
Scania One is compatible with the cloud-based platform of Volkswagen Truck & Bus, which also serves as the base for RIO, opening opportunities to offer additional services and a wider system.
