TMC, SAE ITC collaborate on integrated vehicle health management technologies

SAE ITC and the American Trucking Associations announced an agreement between ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council and the Health Ready Components and Systems Consortium for use of the Council’s Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards (VMRS) in helping to implement integrated vehicle health management technologies.

“With several new programs having been identified for this approach, including autonomous driving, advanced power plants, electromechanical braking and smart trailers, this partnership will provide important information for fleets and service providers to keep trucks on the road and out of the shop,” said TMC Executive Director Robert Braswell.

Braswell says this collaboration will deploy the best practices and guidance provided in the SAE JA6268 Standard: Design & Run-Time Information Exchange for Health-Ready Components.

TMC joins members Bell, Garrett Motion, General Motors, Global Strategic Solutions, Morey Corp., Nexteer Automotive, SafeRide Technologies, VHM Innovations and Volvo Group Trucks Technology in this effort.
