According to the companies, the fully on-board navigation solution calculates optimal, truck-specific routes without using mobile communications or off-board computations, ensuring the most reliable, rapid access to offline highway and street-level digital maps. Voice-guided, truck-specific turn-by-turn directions are automatically generated, with optimal new routes instantly calculated if a driver misses a turn or deviates from the planned route.
Xata said it delivers real-time critical information on vehicle and driver performance, making it easy for fleet managers, dispatchers and drivers to collect, sort, view and analyze data to help reduce costs, increase safety and compliance, and improve customer satisfaction. “As a leader in fleet optimization, we help our customers save time, fuel and money as well as comply with changing regulations, and CoPilot Truck 8 Professional plays a major role by providing optimal routes with the safety of voice guidance,” said Christian Schenk, vice president of product marketing for Xata. “The added functionality continues the success of Xata’s strategy to partner with other leading industry software and hardware companies to provide the power and convenience of best-in-class solutions to today’s fleets.”
