NAV'TRUCK
The first GPS for HGVs on smartphones
At the beginning of 2011, Renault Trucks launched Nav'Truck, the first GPS
application specially designed for HGVs, available on iPhone and Android.
Once drivers have entered their vehicle's configuration into the system, they
will be given a route entirely made up of the safest roads and those they are
allowed to take. A series of add-on applications to further facilitate their
transport assignment is also available.
