+ Real-time customer support
Three services, one goal: increased vehicle availability thanks to outstanding customer support.
Mercedes-Benz Trucks Uptime noticeably increases vehicle availability: by providing real-time support for maintenance operations the customer has to carry out; by ensuring efficient management of repair and maintenance; and by helping you to avoid vehicles breaking down.
Real-time support for customer repairs.
In many instances a failure to carry out maintenance in a timely manner can increase wear to the vehicle and result in damage or a breakdown. To prevent this, Mercedes-Benz Trucks Uptime provides you with real-time information and recommendations on the customer portal with regard to necessary repairs on your truck or trailer. You can easily perform this work yourself and potentially avoid unnecessary downtime in the workshop and any associated repair costs. These include, for example, replenishing the operating fluids such as AdBlue® or correcting the tyre pressure.
Efficient management of repair and maintenance work.
Any maintenance and repair requirements detected at an early stage are automatically reported to your selected Mercedes-Benz Trucks service partner. Based on this information, your service partner bundles the pending maintenance and repair work and contacts you pro-actively to arrange an appointment that is optimally tailored to your personal route plans and maintenance requirements. Real-time transparency on the condition of the vehicles allows the workshop to prepare for your visit as well as possible – ordering the required parts in good time, scheduling workshop capacity and writing up the repair order. This makes it possible to plan for unscheduled workshop visits while at the same time significantly reducing the associated downtimes.
Avoidance of predictable breakdowns.
Our customer service department shall inform you immediately if the system detects a problem (e.g. a leak in the fuel supply high-pressure circuit). If an immediate repair is required, it shall help you arrange a workshop visit that is tailored to your vehicle route and your current transport assignments. Customer services shall check in advance that the required parts and resources are available at the workshop so that your vehicle can be repaired as quickly as possible. This means that possible breakdowns can be prevented, your truck can be repaired quickly, and your transport assignments can be fulfilled.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks Uptime in use.
The new service Mercedes-Benz Trucks Uptime225, 226, 2413 makes for even more reliable and cost-effective fleet operation. Because repair and maintenance needs can be identified at an early stage, making them predictable.
Constant communication from all the connected on-board systems generates several gigabytes of data per truck per day, which can be used for a variety of vehicle diagnostic functions. A large proportion of all diagnostic processes are already supported fully automatically and remotely by Mercedes-Benz Trucks Uptime. This means that the workshop can know the causes of faults at an early stage, even before your vehicle gets there.
Recommendations for action for the workshop are automatically imported into the corresponding dealer systems within an average of 240 seconds after data collection in the vehicle. Diagnosis, clear recommendations for action, and part identification are provided with the help of the appropriate repair instructions. In short: with Mercedes‑Benz Trucks Uptime, you can make the optimal preparations for unexpected workshop visits.
This means that, in the more than 1,500 Mercedes-Benz Trucks Uptime certified retail outlets across Europe, diagnostic times for the initial test in the workshop take only a third as long, saving you both time and money. With the majority of Mercedes-Benz Trucks Uptime vehicles, unscheduled workshop visits have already been reduced by over a half thanks to early fault detection. That's not a promise, but a fact.
With the help of Mercedes-Benz Trucks Uptime, your trucks can get back on the road much quicker – and that increases both their availability and efficiency.
