The latest trends in commercial truck technology

What you need to know about modern work truck technology 

Commercial truck technology has come a long way in recent years, with new advancements improving efficiency, safety, and driver comfort. GMC offers a line of commercial trucks with a range of high-tech features designed to make the job easier and safer for drivers. Read below to learn about some of these features, and visit us here at Carl Black Roswell in Roswell, GA, for a test drive. 

Five key features to look for in commercial trucks

In today’s always-connected world, staying connected on the road is more important than ever. GMC understands this, so their commercial trucks have built-in Wi-Fi hotspots available. With this feature, drivers can easily connect their mobile devices and stay connected to the internet even in remote areas where cell service may be spotty. This can be especially helpful for long hauls, where drivers may need to work on the go or stay in touch with family and friends.

Another trend in commercial truck technology is using mobile apps to stay connected to the vehicle and perform tasks remotely. The myGMC mobile app is a perfect example of this. With this app, drivers can check the truck’s fuel level, tire pressure, and other important information from their smartphones. They can remotely start the truck, lock or unlock the doors, and even sound the horn or flash the lights. This level of connectivity allows drivers to stay on top of their truck’s status and ensure everything is running smoothly, even when they’re not behind the wheel.

 Driver-assist Safety technologies for staying safe on the job 

Finally, one of the most important trends in commercial truck technology is driver-assist safety technologies. These features are designed to help drivers stay safe on the road and avoid accidents, which is especially important given the size and weight of commercial trucks. GMC commercial trucks come with various driver-assist safety technologies, including lane departure warning, forward collision alert, and automatic emergency braking. These features use cameras and sensors to monitor the road and alert drivers if they’re drifting out of their lane or getting too close to other vehicles. Sometimes, they can even apply the brakes automatically to avoid a collision.
