According to DTNA, its new CHEC tool enables truck equipment manufacturers and dealers to easily view, edit, compare and update electrical configurations in Freightliner vocational trucks, reducing upfit time.
DTNA says the CHEC tool drastically reduces upfit time and makes the vehicle customization process user-friendly. The software program empowers users to customize inputs and outputs and change parameters within their organization and within minutes. Users can create standard templates for their organization, enabling them to select a pre-existing configuration based on different applications or customers. The CHEC tool also greatly increases customization possibilities, such as creating custom dash layouts in customer vehicles. The cutting-edge tool is a powerful way for truck equipment manufacturers and dealer partners to better serve vocational customers’ unique needs, the company says.
“Our vocational customers have specific and unique needs to meet the different requirements of their applications. It’s always our priority to evolve our offerings and develop new innovations that will help our customers and their businesses,” says Richard Saward, general manager, vocational sales, DTNA. “Our CHEC tool combines our extensive customization options with forward-thinking technology to deliver the right truck for the job, as quickly as possible.”
DTNA says additional CHEC tool features include:
- Make changes to entire fleets, or search for any vehicle in the system
- Configuration comparison of separate vehicles against each other or against the fleet
- Vehicle-based views to see vehicle details, terminal availability and load capacity information, as well as circuit location information and a history of updates to the vehicle
- Views of vehicle-specific switch and gauge information and how a dash was built at the factory
DTNA says the CHEC tool is currently available for Freightliner vocational truck models. To use the tool, DTNA says truck equipment manufacturers and dealer partners can sign up for CHEC training through DTNA Connect or a Freightliner dealer.
