Smartlinq offers remote diagnostics technology that monitors over 800 diagnostic codes and provides real-time service alerts and recommendations. The system automatically sends email warning notifications, as well as the location of the nearest three Peterbilt dealership locations. Smartlinq also helps streamline service and maintenance, Peterbilt officials said in a press release.

Smartlinq is standard on Peterbilt Class 8 trucks and optional on Peterbilt’s line of new medium-duty trucks. Peterbilt has more than 100,000 trucks on the road today currently enrolled with fleet and truck operators with an active Smartlinqsubscription.

Kenworth's TruckTech+

By logging into Paccar Solutions, Kenworth customers can renew their Kenworth TruckTech+ subscriptions, manage payment options and monitor subscription expiration dates for all their trucks. They also can manage subscriptions for trucks that will be added to their fleet in the future. 

Kenworth TruckTech+ enhances vehicle diagnostics by providing real-time engine health information to fleet managers and Kenworth dealers to help optimize truck uptime and productivity, and enables fleets to track the location of their Kenworth trucks.
