The US-based leading commercial vehicle maker Navistar has introduced its concept for the NEXTperience trailer, a mobile unit that will offer specific eMobility training sessions to dealers and customers.
Hosted by Navistar's NEXT eMobility Solutions team, the mobile trailer will be used for sales, service and training events to create a cross-functional experience and provide end-to-end solutions. The NEXTperience trailer is expected to launch in early 2022, the company said.
The NEXTperience mobile trailer aims to enable the vehicle maker to connect dealers and customers on educational topics necessary to advance the adoption of electrification within the trucking industry. Using the NEXTperience mobile unit, the team is dedicated to creating an all-inclusive customer experience ranging from introducing electric vehicles (EVs) to the end of battery life. In addition, this concept trailer will allow the company to be agile and prepared as new regions begin to deploy zero-emissions technology and expect further education on the sustainable adoption of EVs.
The NEXTperience trailer is currently positioned to provide sales training, customer meetings and events, dealer and customer high voltage safety and lockout tag out (LOTO) training, dealer service technician certification, local community zero emissions, and safety, driver training and charger training.
Jason Gies, Vice President, eMobility Business Development, Navistar, said, 'The NEXTperience mobile trailer concept is an all-inclusive opportunity to involve many parties in eMobility technologies, implementation strategies and deployment. By connecting dealers and customers, we are ensuring that everyone is fully prepared and educated on EV technologies that are rapidly gaining momentum within the commercial vehicle industry.'
