Announced at a dealer meeting celebrating Isuzu’s 30th anniversary in the United States, the partnership will offer Isuzu drivers the Telogis SaaS-based connected intelligence platform, which brings advanced telematics, route optimisation, commercial navigation, work order management and mobile integration services for their mobile workforces.

Isuzu said the technology will help create a stronger ownership experience by improving overall vehicle performance.

Shaun Skinner, executive vice president and general manager of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, said: ‘Today, Isuzu defines its connected vehicle and telematics strategy by collaborating with Telogis. We chose Telogis because of their focus on innovation, and their industry-leading experience with built-in OEM location intelligence solutions, with a mutual goal of providing Isuzu customers with the very best ownership experience in the medium-duty truck market.

‘The combination of Isuzu’s leadership in the low-cab-forward commercial truck market and the innovative solutions on the Telogis platform will deliver significant cost savings and operational efficiencies for Isuzu customers,’ said Susan Heystee, executive vice president, worldwide sales, Telogis. ‘This next-generation technology brings Isuzu Truck built-in connectivity and intelligence that can only be achieved through this kind of collaboration with the manufacturer.’

The latest Telogis deal follows its recently announced partnerships with Ford, Volvo Trucks, Hino Trucks and GM.
