Named Smart Dash, the digital dashboard is described by Scania as the “building block for paving the way for digital services, increased safety and improved user experiences for Scania customers and drivers.”
Scania says the Smart Dash boasts the following features:
- Seamless daily digital support for drivers and operators together with solutions such as My Scania and Scania Driver App
- New electrical system architecture, compliant with the EU’s new General Safety Regulation and the UN’s new cyber-security regulations
- OTA updates, potentially via superfast 5G connections
- Improved human machine interface for increased focus on safety.
Commenting on the news, Stefan Dorski, Senior Vice President, Head of Scania Trucks, said :
“This introduction represents a step change in Scania’s offering within the transport ecosystem. What our customers will experience in Smart Dash-equipped vehicles is the palpable part of Scania’s next level offer and ambition regarding digitalisation, connectivity and safety. It all boils down to enabling outstanding user experiences when combining Scania vehicles and our digital services and solutions.”
Scania states that its Smart Dash has been developed in accordance with Scania’s modular system for digital tailored solutions.
The truck manufacturer adds that the dashboard comes in different performance steps, all of which have a modular structure in common, thus allowing compatibility with other digital Scania solutions.
“We regard Smart Dash as a core part of our digital ecosystem and as a great means for empowering the drivers,” says Dorski. “It will give them superior access to all kinds of relevant information when driving and support them in performing other kinds of tasks when they have parked via, for instance, Scania Driver App and My Scania. These solutions are all linked together and offer a truly productive user experience.”
The different performance steps of Smart Dash will replace Scania’s current solutions and can be ordered now for trucks that will be produced early in 2024.
