Platform Science says it has become the first provider to achieve Canadian electronic logging device (ELD) certification on Daimler Truck North America’s factory-installed Common Telematics Platform 2 (CTP2).

Built on Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle platform, this expanded ELD certification enables fleets operating Freightliner and Western Star vehicles equipped with CTP2 to run a single, integrated compliance solution across the United States and Canada without requiring aftermarket gateway hardware, the company said in a news release.

“Our Canadian certification on the CTP2 represents a new standard for how compliance technology can be delivered to fleets,” said Darrin Demchuk, senior vice president of product – fleet North America, Platform Science. “With certification now extended from the U.S. to Canada, we’re giving carriers a fully integrated, factory-supported ELD solution that meets rigorous third-party standards right out of the box.”

Canada’s ELD mandate requires federally regulated carriers to use certified electronic logging devices that meet third-party testing and annual recertification requirements.

CTP2 is Daimler Truck North America’s factory-installed telematics platform available on the Fourth Generation Freightliner Cascadia, Freightliner Plus models and Western Star X-Series trucks.
