Leinfelden-Echterdingen - The new Mercedes-Benz Trucks Remote 3.0 app forms the digital interface between truck drivers and their Mercedes-Benz trucks. The mobile app allows them to view various relevant vehicle functions in national and international long-distance haulage directly via mobile phone. The app displays urgent messages in the form of push notifications.

The app can now be used in combination with the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600. From summer 2025, it is also expected to be available for the new Actros L and the Arocs. The prerequisite for use is an active TruckLive contract of the company that owns or operates the truck and that the truck is equipped with the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2 and the Truck Data Centre 8.

Real-time updates: Important status information on demand and as a push message

The mobile app can be used to call up important general status information on the kilometer reading, compressed-air supply, tyre pressure and, in future, fuel and AdBlue fill levels for trucks with conventional drive systems. If a function is not OK, the driver immediately receives the corresponding information via push notifications.

In the battery-electric eActros 600, the battery level, range, charge level and the time remaining until the desired target charge level is reached, are also displayed. During the charging process, the driver receives full transparency about the charging status at all times using the app and can monitor it. The push notification informs you, for example, as soon as a charging process starts, is interrupted or is completed after reaching the target charge level, so that no time is lost on the trip.

When the app is launched, drivers also have access to several other features that make their work easier: Among other things, they can check the status of the locking system, doors and windows during their breaks. From summer onwards, further functions will be added successively.

Truck pairing with the mobile phone: Simple and easy to use

Mobile Mercedes-Benz Trucks Remote 3.0 is available for smartphones from iOS 15 and Android 9 within the Apple Store or Google Play Store. The connection of phone and truck, the so-called “pairing”, can simply and directly done via the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2 using an automatically generated QR code. The often time-consuming entry of passwords is not necessary with this app.

If several drivers are on the road with the same truck, the app can be adapted to the current driver. This is done via the “Disconnect” function in the secondary display of the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2 or alternatively via the use of the individual driver card.
