Nauto and Navistar are partnering to make Nauto's predictive-AI vehicle safety solution available for new fleet vehicle purchases or as an upgrade for existing fleet vehicles throughout International Truck's large network of more than 1,000 dealers.
According to Nauto, its advanced AI technology tracks and analyzes risk in real-time. When it detects risks, it can provide preventative warnings which may give drivers extra time to respond. Nauto's tech is trained on more than 1.3 billion AI-processed driving miles to make alerts more accurate, helping to eliminate issues around alert fatigue from false alerts.
As a leader in Class 6 through Class 8 vehicles and with more than one million International brand trucks on the road throughout North America, Navistar continues to invest in safety innovation as part of its broad commitment to create safer roads for all by making the best driver safety features available to its fleet customers.
"Nauto's partnership with Navistar is an important milestone in terms of commercial fleet industry adoption,” Stefan Heck, CEO of Nauto, said. “Our in-vehicle alerts and fleet safety reporting are designed to automatically help drivers be safer without manager involvement and help prevent collisions while respecting driver privacy. We enable our customers to benefit from an average 50%-80% drop in collisions and loss in just a few months and to exonerate their drivers."
The two companies will explore deeper integration for existing and new fleets, and further collaborate on the reduction of distracted driving events and collisions in the heavy-duty vehicle safety and fleet management space.
Nauto will work closely with International Truck dealers to provide this new offering tailored for heavy-duty vehicles. Packages are available now and include Nauto hardware bundled with service durations of one, three, or five years.
"Navistar has always been a pioneer in industry-leading aftermarket offerings and the AI driven Nauto camera system further builds on that legacy," said Chintan Sopariwala, group vice president of parts at Navistar. "With the addition of Nauto's predictive-AI safety technology to our aftermarket parts portfolio, we are taking a significant step forward towards our commitment to safer roads through safer driving."
