Maximizing Customer Uptime with TruckTech+
Kenworth TruckTech+ Remote Diagnostics has been streamlining the way Kenworth dealerships and customers are approaching vehicle health monitoring, diagnostics and repair support for increased uptime and productivity. And as of recently, MX-powered heavy duty trucks equipped with TruckTech+ also have the ability to utilize Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates to keep their software up to date anytime and anywhere.
TruckTech+ subscriptions will soon be able to be extended beyond the two-year period provided with base engine warranty on heavy duty models and the initial two-year optional subscription period on medium duty models. Optional subscription extensions for TruckTech+ will be offered in increments ranging between 30 and 60 months. MX-powered heavy duty units also will be able to extend the use of Over-the-Air Updates to match their extended subscription length. Options for extending TruckTech+ subscriptions will be available in PremierSpec starting May 11, 2020.
In addition to encouraging extended subscriptions, there are other ways your dealership can help customers maximize the benefits of TruckTech+. Below are a few helpful reminders:
