Scania’s smartwatch apps

Scania has launched smartwatch apps. that focus on the wellbeing of professional drivers. Promising health and fitness tracking for an individual driver, the smartwatch apps. claim to provide features that have been specifically designed for jobs needing long periods of sitting and short bursts of heavy physical labour like loading and unloading the truck. The performance functions are claimed to complement truck and fleet management features such as fuel consumption monitoring, previously an integral part of Scania’s popular ‘Black Griffin’ smartwatch. Black Griffin is claimed to be the first watch created especially for truck drivers. Its features include the ability to track a driver’s performance, send alerts to the wearer when they are tired or when they need to move around after a period of stagnation. Another fall detection app. ensures that during an accident or an emergency situation the driver’s emergency contact is reached out.
