Utilizing Voice Technology for Truck Repair

At Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) we hold ourselves to the highest standards and are leading the charge by driving the Uptime Revolution. We want to get our customers’ trucks back on the road in 24-hours or less.

We believe voice technology could allow our techs access to repair information, guided diagnostic procedures and other valuable information without having to step away from their bay and keeping their hands free.

Your goal is to create a solution to increase the speed and efficiency of our technicians in order to get our customers’ trucks back on the road as fast as possible.
