“Confusing telematics fault codes were one of the inspirations for ActiveCare Direct in the first place,” said David Adams, Volvo CE Product Sales Manager, Connected Services. “We know excessive, complex fault codes are no laughing matter, but we wanted to take a light-hearted approach in the hopes that more fleet managers will see what ActiveCare Direct does to make machine maintenance easier.”

A case alert from ActiveCare Direct will tell you know exactly what the issue is, what caused it, and what will happen if you leave it alone.
