LOUISVILLE, KY. (March 31, 2011) – One year after announcing the creation of OnCommand™ by Navistar at the 2010 Mid-America Trucking Show, Navistar announced significant progress integrating its service offerings and providing customers with one of the largest and most comprehensive packages of support services in the industry.

“OnCommand is another way that Navistar is providing its customers with a partner who truly understands that keeping drivers on the road is imperative to their business success,” said Jim Hebe, Navistar senior vice president, North American sales operations. “Through OnCommand we provide our customers easier access to critical vehicle, parts and training information to ensure maximum uptime.”

OnCommand by Navistar helps customers achieve more efficient repairs and maintenance, better lifecycle value and an overall lower total cost of ownership—a combination that gives customers increased visibility and better control of their business.

“With OnCommand, I can type in a VIN and see a list of all warranty or recall work done to it by any International dealer that touched the truck,” says Scott Golden, a road assistant supervisor at Central Maintenance Corp. in Little Rock who manages a 300-truck fleet. “Plus, I can access all the master service manuals and technical service letters. Dealers have long had this service. Now, OnCommand makes it easy for customers to get this information whenever they need it.”

OnCommand™ Repair Advocate—Navistar’s OnCommand Repair Advocate is a true breakdown management solution for our Class 8, on-highway customers with 2010 and later MaxxForce engines. While some breakdown services will simply get you to a dealer,

OnCommand Repair Advocate provides total service management, from getting into the repair bay to back on the road. Navistar repair advocates monitor the progress and keep a close eye on every step of the repair—from allocating the right parts to getting the repair performed correctly. Since launching in October 2010, OnCommand Repair Advocate has demonstrated a significant improvement in downtime for more than 100 customers with more than 20,000 trucks in the program.
