During American Trucking Associations' Technology & Maintenance Council annual meeting, Platform Science and Cummins announced a partnership to introduce Vehicle Connected Solutions portal, which enables fleets to seamlessly access a range of features and capabilities, to the Virtual Vehicle platform.
"Cummins is transforming engine performance with cutting-edge digital solutions. Our customers need prioritized, actionable insights for all their vehicles in one place, and the Virtual Vehicle portal is a key step toward that vision,” said Brad Sutton, executive director – powertrain engineering, Cummins.
Easy Registration for Connected Solutions
Cummins and Platform Science have developed a new, streamlined experience for registering for Connected Solutions. Users simply complete online registration with Virtual Vehicle, the data that is generated off of them, and the solutions that connect them, and then receive access to insights.
“We share Cummins’ commitment to optimizing engine health and performance and the launch of Vehicle Health Intelligence is an exciting milestone in empowering drivers and fleets to achieve this,” said Jake Fields, co-founder and CTO, Platform Science. “Cummins' adoption of the Virtual Vehicle is strong validation of our platform as the most robust application ecosystem. We look forward to working with Cummins to enhance fleet performance by offering world-class remote diagnostics, engine data insights, and firmware over-the-air updates.”
Intuitive Application Ecosystem
Virtual Vehicle is the premier application platform that enables an intuitive application ecosystem including solutions made by telematics providers, third-party developers, Vehicle OEMs, Tier 1 component OEMs, and fleets themselves. Applications are available through the Virtual Vehicle portal which serves as a central hub where fleets can access real-time vehicle insights and optimize operations with integrated third-party solutions. The Virtual Vehicle portal enables fleets to efficiently deploy, configure, and update software across their vehicles—helping them maximize uptime and adapt to evolving business needs.
