At present, the 75-year-old company has more than 170,000 connected medium and heavy commercial vehicles (MHCVs) nationwide. It processes more than 40,000 transactions per second and analyses over 6 million data points to deliver actionable insights and value to customers. The company said it has embedded intelligence in every layer of its value chain, marked by predictive maintenance, AI-powered image recognition and robotic automation.
