Trailer Owners Experience Increased Efficiency & ROI Using New Telematics Technology 

From small fleets to the largest trailer OEMs, our industry is buzzing about advanced electronic features that improve trailer safety and productivity. 

A growing number of forward-looking fleets purchase their trailers with a central telematics system that’s fully integrated with a wired CAN network to connect independent electronic connectivity units (ECUs) together on their trailer assets.  

Future-focused Central Telematics Systems Increase ROI  

At the same time, fleets are instructing trailer OEMs to spec all their new builds with an integrated CAN design that positions their trailer assets with the ability to add new ECUs in the aftermarket. After all, trailers built today will still be on the road in ten years, and fleet owners recognize the cost savings if trailers are ready for future innovations.  

There’s seemingly no end to the options new technology can bring, and trailers need to be built in a way that’s ready for upgrades. Fleets that are equipped with an integrated CAN network have a potential future operational advantage against the competition because they’ll have a higher resale value at the time of trade, for greater ROI.
