An EZ-ELD offering
The pending U.S. mandate for Electronic Logging Devices can seem complex, but Pollak is looking to simplify things with the new EZ-ELD. The plug-and-play device is fitted into a truck's diagnostic port, and the driver connects to the device through a mobile app. There's no need to worry about the type of On Board Diagnostics port that is used, either. The EZ-ELD comes with three interchangeable connectors, making it easier to switch between vehicles, too. There are nine-pin, six-pin, and OBDII connectors on board.
Mack Over-the-Air programming
Mack is bringing its Over the Air (OTA) programming to refuse vehicles including the 2018 Granite, TerraPro and LR models with Mack 2017 GHG engines. With that, owners can update software without pulling into a service bay, setting parameters like road speed limits from afar.
