It is time to Up your Game with Maximum Uptime
Imagine this scenario: A bus packed with tourists breaks down on a deserted mountain road one stormy night, miles away from any service center. Scary, right? Not if this bus is from the house of Eicher. With our vehicles, you don’t have to go in search of help; it will come to you at the earliest possible. That’s the magic of Eicher Uptime, another technological milestone from us. We are the first company to offer 100% Connected Vehicles in India’s Commercial Vehicle segment.
100% Connected with 24X7 Uptime Support - A Brilliant Concept
It all began in April 2020, when all Eicher trucks and buses were fitted with telematics solutions. Since then, the technology has evolved further. The first phase of Eicher Uptime services enabled experts to do real-time, remote vehicle health monitoring – they kept track of vehicles being tended to at Uptime-certified workshops across India. Now in its second phase of evolution, Eiche Uptime has taken a step ahead – it monitors vehicle behavior in real time and predicts potential failures, thus ensuring effective preventive maintenance. All Eicher Vehicles are connected to the Uptime Centre at Pithampur (Madhya Pradesh) from where our trained experts offer 24x7 support.
