Transportation & Logistics: Mitsubishi Services Trucks With Panasonic Toughbooks

When performing diagnostics on truck fuel systems, transmissions and ABS control systems, Mitsubishi Fuso service technicians need a mobile computing solution that can operate in extreme conditions. With reliable, wireless mobile computers, they are able to work on their trucks in service bays and in remote field locations on the road.

Jim Peary, Director of Corporate Systems for Mitsubishi Fuso, says, "We evaluated different options, but Panasonic was the only one that could operate in the variety of conditions that we needed. The ruggedness of the [Toughbook] was a requirement [for us]."

In the service bay environment where grease, vibration, knocks and bumps are part of the job, Panasonic Toughbook laptops can withstand the rigors involved in getting the job done. They have magnesium alloy cases and shock-mounted hard drives to withstand damage from accidental drops. They are also dust-and moisture-resistant, making them dependable in the service bay environment and outside on service calls.
