This addition is said to benefit truck drivers and fleet managers by offering tyre data insights that can enhance fleet performance and support more informed decision-making.

PACCAR Connect is a fleet management system that integrates both in-vehicle hardware and software with an optional detachable tablet in the cab and an accessible online portal. This platform allows fleet operators to monitor and manage the performance of individual DAF vehicles and entire fleets in real time and empowers them to make data-driven decisions.

Goodyear DriverHub is a tyre monitoring application that alerts drivers to real-time tyre conditions. The application provides notifications for tyre pressure and temperature deviations, enabling proactive maintenance that helps reduce the risk of breakdowns and enhances road safety.

With its predictive maintenance capabilities, Goodyear DriverHub can detect and differentiate between fast and slow pressure leaks, allowing for interventions that help minimise downtime and boost fleet efficiency. Additionally, by optimising tyre maintenance, application is expected to help improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

"By welcoming a wide range of third-party applications like Goodyear DriverHub into PACCAR Connect, we are providing our customers with a versatile and comprehensive digital environment," said Luuk Tuijtelaars, director & support EU, PACCAR Connected Services at DAF Trucks. "This diverse ecosystem of integrated third-party applications enhances the usability of PACCAR Connect, empowering drivers and fleet managers with valuable tools that support smarter, more efficient, and more productive operations."

“We are excited to bring the Goodyear DriverHub application to PACCAR Connect. This integration allows fleet managers and drivers of DAF trucks to make even more informed decisions based on real-time tire data, helping to reduce costs and improve fleet efficiency,” said Piotr Czyżyk, managing director of fleet mobility EMEA at Goodyear.
