Bye, bye blindspots: How CO3's partnership with PACCAR Connect and DAF drives efficiency and sustainability

Tackling Fragmentation with a Unified Data Backbone

The European road freight market faces persistent challenges:

1. 30% of heavy truck trips run empty (Eurostat),
2. Average fill rates remain at just 50% (European Environment Agency),
3. Telematics fragmentation continues, with more than 700 active providers and little standardization.
   

Meanwhile, subcontracting and market fragmentation mean that even the largest forwarders control less than 5% of the full-truckload market. For shippers and carriers alike, this creates complexity, inefficiency, and rising emissions.

CO3’s platform was built to address precisely these challenges. With over 480 telematics integrations, >260k connected vehicles, and 12 OEM partnerships, our single API acts as a one-plug connector for all truck and trailer data. By combining vehicle and trailer insights into one unified flow, CO3 empowers customers to increase transparency, reduce waste, and deliver measurable ROI.

A Partnership That Clears the Road Ahead

With PACCAR Connect and DAF now part of the CO3 ecosystem, customers gain access to the highest quality OEM-grade data in a way that is fast, reliable, and secure.

For Shippers and Freight Forwarders, this integration enables you to:

1. Track with precision: Go beyond basic GPS pings and unlock granular, high-frequency data for accurate ETA predictions and proactive exception handling.
2. Empower your teams: Enable smarter, data-driven decisions that boost operational efficiency, cut transport costs, and enhance customer satisfaction by ensuring every stakeholder has the most accurate information.
3. Unlock new possibilities: Access data on everything from energy consumption to real-time weight, enabling optimized fleet planning, improved asset utilization, and measurable reductions in environmental impact.
   

For Carriers and Fleet Owners, the benefits include:

1. Faster onboarding: Connect DAF trucks to CO3 in just three minutes.
2. High-frequency visibility: Benefit from more than 2x the ping rate compared to leading aggregators for sharper, more timely insights.
3. Fleet optimization: Use secure OEM-grade data to reduce downtime, improve asset utilization, and cut operating costs.
   
   

The OEM Advantage

Thanks to direct OEM connectivity, DAF fleets can be onboarded in as little as three minutes. Compared to leading industry aggregators, CO3 delivers more than 2x the ping rate, ensuring visibility that is both detailed and dependable. With 75% of heavy trucks in Europe now equipped with OEM-fitted onboard units, partnerships like this bring industry-wide scalability to real-time data sharing.
