Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation (NYSE:ETN)
has announced the creation of the Vehicle Solutions Business Unit
(VSBU). This allows Eaton's Truck group to realign its VORAD(R) and
MD(R) Tools Mobile Diagnostics product lines and transform its
business model from a component-based supplier to a systems-based
solutions provider. Future VSBU offerings will include integrated
diagnostics, safety and other operational management solutions to
fleets. A key element of Eaton's Vehicle Solutions vision is a new
product development and sales agreement with @Road, Inc.
(Nasdaq:ARDI) of Fremont, Calif. - an industry leader in on-demand
Mobile Resource Management solutions. Through this new
relationship, Eaton can now combine its on-board diagnostic and
safety systems with @Road(R) Mobile Resource Management to offer a
customized fleet management solution. On-demand GPS-based location
intelligence, real-time vehicle diagnostics, shop management,
wireless communication capabilities, and other fleet asset
management optimization tools can all be tailored to fit the unique
needs of any truck fleet. "With our leadership and heritage in
drivetrain systems, we bring a perspective to this business and an
understanding of the commercial vehicle market that very few others
can provide to their customers," said Roderick Jones, business unit
manager of Eaton's Vehicle Solutions business unit. "And the legacy
of service and credibility that our Roadranger representatives
bring to the truck marketplace makes this partnership work for
everyone - especially our customers." Jones continued, "This
alliance with @Road means that fleets will be able to monitor their
vehicles in real time, schedule vehicle downtime, monitor vehicle
operational issues, and provide drivers with enhanced safety
systems. With the new solutions that Eaton and @Road will bring to
the marketplace, we will be able to better help fleets optimize
their performance, maximize their uptime and reduce operating
costs." "By combining forces, @Road and Eaton are in a strong
position to fully leverage our respective strengths to jointly
develop and deliver advanced Field Asset Management solutions to
the global commercial vehicle market," said Leo Jolicoeur, @Road
chief marketing officer. "We look forward to working closely with
Eaton." Eaton's MD Mobile Diagnostics is a line of progressive
diagnostic tools, software and solutions for the trucking industry
that helps fleets customize solutions to their specific service
requirements and needs. The MD line includes vehicle link adapters,
handheld scan tools, PC diagnostic software, vehicle vibration
analyzers and PDA diagnostic software. Eaton's VORAD Collision
Warning Systems include forward, side and rear radar sensors to
detect objects and vehicles in the vehicle's intended path that may
pose a hazard. In-cab display units with a series of warning lights
and audible tones warn the driver of the presence of these objects
and vehicles. These warnings give the driver added time to take any
necessary action to avoid a collision. Eaton VORAD systems are also
available with the optional SmartCruise, adaptive cruise control
that helps maintain safe distances between vehicles in addition to
accident recording and reconstruction and VORAD EVIMS fleet
information management systems. For information on Vehicle
