Vehicle manufacturers are backlogged into 2023 for truck and trailer orders. A bottleneck of high demand, a global shortage of microchips and other materials has made it difficult for many fleets to part with existing assets through trade-ins or selling used equipment.

Holding onto used equipment longer could lead to unplanned maintenance events that steamroll budgets. Predicting system and component failures in advance has become even more important for keeping assets on the road and costs in line.
