Driving Profile is a service based on data collected with a high frequency that lets you drill down in detail to your vehicles’ performance, second by second, over a 24-hour time frame. It can help you detect certain trends and analyze correlations between events. For example, you may notice more harsh acceleration events when the bus is climbing up to high altitude, and you can correlate fault codes to driving patterns like high speed.

A new functionality/tab called "Service Contract" is now in place within Volvo Connect. This functionality/tab is accessible within the Assets section for individual vehicles. It will only be visible in markets that utilize the Trucks Service Agreement (TSA).

A new direct link to Navigator (training application) have been added to workshop services, please see image for reference.

You can now view detailed information about your vehicles’ speed and engine speed (RPM) within the Report tool. The graphs plot engine speed and vehicle speed over time, distance and consumption in separate bar graphs. The views can be used to analyze engine speed for vehicles servicing specific routes and see if they are suited for their task.

Charge Monitoring Zones are zones which monitor the battery level of your hybrid or electric vehicles, and sends an event if the battery level is more than or less than a certain level on entering or leaving the zone.

To enable updates of the maps for the TomTom Navigation system on the new coach (9700/9900), we are now introducing Map Download widget in Volvo Connect. All information on how to download and update the maps can be found in the widget instructions.

The I-Coaching report shows driver performance related parameters like Harsh braking, Overspeeding and Excessive idling.

Now the Tracking Report has support for multiple vehicles. Select “Filter” and “Vehicle” and select all vehicles that you want to view events for.

You will now be notified when your hybrid vehicles deviate from the rules set in the zone, e.g. by driving on combustion engine within a Zero Emission zone.

You can now see detail descriptions of permissions per user role in the User Administration Tool. As a User Administrator, you will get guidance directly in Volvo Connect to select the right roles for the users of your fleet.

Your vehicles’ Battery Voltage readings are now visible in the Map Tool. You can view the last known Battery Voltage of your vehicles as well as the Battery Voltage for each historical event in Position History.

New parameters for hybrid vehicles are available in Report service. These parameters let you track electric distance and electric time, including driving and idling time, for your hybrid vehicles.
