While the global terminal tractor market is expected to surpass $875 million in value by 2030, keeping all the trucks at peak performance is a tall order.
Managing a terminal tractor fleet can be challenging, especially when it comes to tracking maintenance needs across multiple vehicles. This is where fleet telematics proves valuable. Fleet operators rely on telematics to send and receive real-time data over long distances, helping them monitor their trucks more effectively and cut down on maintenance costs.
Maintenance costs can rise significantly when trucks aren’t serviced on schedule. Telematics technology alerts managers to mechanical issues early on, allowing them to address these problems before they lead to downtime that disrupts operations. This proactive approach is why Autocar, LLC offers trucks designed to minimize breakdowns and ensure consistent uptime.
For fleets looking to upgrade, Autocar suggests the emissions-free, all-electric version of the ACTT terminal tractor, the E-ACTT, which became available in late 2021. Its electric vehicle (EV) technology reduces the need for frequent preventative maintenance, extending service life cycles and providing cost savings for fleet owners.
The standard ACTT terminal tractor is equipped with ergonomic controls, easy entry and exit, and one of the tightest turning radii in the industry. It also comes with built-in telematics, helping fleet managers save on service expenses by catching issues early.
Unlike many spotter trucks, Autocar builds each truck with both operators and fleet managers in mind. Every vehicle is custom-made to fit specific needs, taking into account location and usage requirements. Additionally, all Autocar trucks come with the AUTOCAR ALWAYS UP guarantee. Throughout the truck’s life, owners have direct access to expert technicians through AUTOCAR SOLUTIONS customer service to assist with any issues that may arise.
