determine gear shifts that will be needed
for upcoming inclines. That will improve
mileage by about 1%, according to Scott
Barraclough, Project Manager.
The GuardDog Connect technology has
been improved significantly. When fault
codes warn of potential issues, the vehicle
automatically calls Mack's Uptime Center,
which will provide the designated contact
with information on the severity of the
issue and provide advice and assistance
such as the nearest dealer's location. In
some cases, warnings can occur before
problems arise.
"We have tripled the number of
codes we monitor; we now monitor
80 codes," said David Pardue, Vice
President of Connected Vehicles and
Uptime Services. "We know which codes
precede some errors."
The service has shown substantial
benefits throughout the Mack fleet.
"Over 60,000 vehicles already have
GuardDog," Pardue said. "It has reduced
diagnostic time by an average of 70%,
reduced repair time by an average of 21%,
The cab's interior space is 35% larger. (image credit: Mack)
and increased shop efficiency by 24%
while reducing check-in time at repair
centers by about 40 minutes."
Mack is also offering over-the-air
updates, providing the technology for
free for two years. Vehicle software and
some parameters can be updated without
going into a shop.
