P eterbilt has recently introduced two new groundbreaking features that will enhance driver comfort, awareness and vehicle control. SmartNav, an in-dash navigation, diagnostic, entertainment and communications system, is now available, as is SmartSound, a noise-reduction system for day cab and sleeper-equipped trucks. SmartNav provides drivers a new realm of safety, vehicle awareness and control with the state-of-the-art system that offers navigation, vehicle diagnostics, communication and entertainment technologies in a touch-screen-operated unit cus- tomized for the trucking industry. "SmartNav was developed to enhance driver safety and vehicle performance, as well as lower costs by decreasing driver out-of-route errors and missed vehicle maintenance," says Bill Jackson, Peterbilt General Manager and Peterbilt Vice President. "SmartNav also features infotainment previously never seen in the trucking industry, allowing drivers to experience the ultimate in connectivity and entertainment – all in cab." Peterbilt's SmartSound package, designed to significantly reduce cab noise and driver fatigue while enhancing driver comfort and safety, can be seamlessly integrated into any inte- rior level providing a quiet, comfortable environment for the driver with both acoustic and thermal insulating properties. Noise reduction not only improves driver concentration but also dramatically reduces driver fatigue. 18 FIRST CLASS Peterbilt News SmartNav ™ , SmartSound ™ systems debut
