Eaton and Traxen have expanded their AI-based iQ-Cruise adaptive and predictive cruise control system into the Canadian market.

The expansion comes through Eaton’s exclusive global alliance with Michigan-based Traxen, with new software updates tailored specifically for Canada’s geography and road networks, according to a news release. The system, already in use by U.S. fleets, combines adaptive and predictive cruise control to automatically manage speed using GPS, AI algorithms, and 3D mapping.

The Canadian rollout includes several localization features: support for HERE Technologies’ high-definition Canadian maps, metric unit conversions, and French-Canadian language settings to enhance accessibility for bilingual drivers and fleet managers.

To ensure uninterrupted functionality across Canada, Eaton and Traxen say they worked with AT&T to secure roaming agreements with Canadian cellular providers, ensuring full connectivity from coast to coast.

“Expanding iQ-Cruise into Canada underscores Eaton’s commitment to delivering intelligent, region-specific solutions that maximize efficiency and sustainability for our customers,” said Tim Bauer, vice-president of North America aftermarket, Eaton’s Mobility Group, in the release.

“By adapting our technology for the Canadian market, we’re enabling fleet owners and operators to unlock new levels of efficiency and sustainability tailored to their needs,” added Ali Maleki, CEO of Traxen.

The iQ-Cruise system is available as part of a monthly subscription that includes hardware, installation support, and regular software updates. Eaton and Traxen provide installation guides to ensure seamless integration for commercial vehicle service centers. Once installed, fleet operators can activate and begin benefiting from iQ-Cruise immediately.
