PACCAR and Platform Science Announce Strategic Equity Investment<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

BELLEVUE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nPACCAR announced today that it has made a minority equity investment in its connected truck partner, Platform Science. This strategic investment complements the partnership recently launched by PACCAR and Platform Science to integrate Platform Science\u2019s Virtual Vehicle technology with the PACCAR Connect telematics system.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe integrated product will offer Kenworth and Peterbilt customers a standardized telematics operating system and application store, enabling customers to access software solutions, real-time vehicle data, and third-party applications directly from their vehicles. The vehicle information technology environment will be simplified by reducing the number of telecommunications devices required on the vehicle. Factory installation will increase customers\u2019 productivity and uptime by eliminating the aftermarket installation process.\n<\/p>\n

\nJohn Rich, PACCAR chief technology officer, said, \u201cPACCAR is pleased to deepen this strategic relationship by investing in Platform Science. PACCAR Connect will be the industry\u2019s most user-friendly, customizable and productive connected truck solution, and will enhance our customers\u2019 agility and operating efficiency. We look forward to launching the system on Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks in 2024.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cPlatform Science\u2019s Virtual Vehicle will bring a whole new dimension of adaptive ingenuity to trucks, empowering operators to tap into a broad suite of solutions that precisely meet their fleets\u2019 needs,\u201d said Jack Kennedy, Platform Science co-founder & CEO. \u201cFor more than a century, PACCAR has been a leader in designing, developing and manufacturing world-class transportation solutions, and we are proud to collaborate with their team.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
