MAN Truck & Bus’s digital fleet management service Perform is getting an AI-supported assistant. It uses Perform’s comprehensive vehicle usage data and driving style analyses, as well as an extensive knowledge database in the background, to create tailor-made performance analyses and recommendations for action for fleet managers.
As for now, the tool has been released in Austria and in Germany. Some more European countries will follow soon. The new chat function allows fleet managers to simply formulate their analysis requirements in everyday language. Questions such as ‘Which drivers have room for improvement?’ or ‘What recommendations can I give to drivers?’, the AI immediately provides understandable evaluations and concrete recommendations that can be passed on directly to the drivers.
MAN’s AI-based fleet management assistant
According to MAN, the Digital Fleet Assistant ensures up to three times faster and more targeted evaluation of the extensive information. The AI-supported analysis tool evaluates a wide range of data, including driving behaviour, fuel consumption, use of assistance systems and technical information such as downtime and wear.
“Imagine you have a personal assistant who simplifies your everyday life and revolutionises it, like AI does when planning trips or shopping online. An assistant who saves you time and money and gives you new ideas. This is exactly the added value we are now bringing to fleet management with the Digital Fleet Assistant,” explained Karl-Maximilian Strobel, Head of Product Management Services at MAN Truck & Bus.
