Have you ever wondered why trucks experience more problems during autumn and winter?
Cold temperatures, wet roads, and reduced visibility increase the risk of breakdowns, leading to delays and vehicle downtime.
But what if you could quickly identify these issues and prevent them before they become critical?
With Jaltest INFO Web, fleet managers and technicians can efficiently detect truck failures—even in freezing conditions—to ensure safety and performance.
Why winter diagnostics are essential?
Cold months pose specific challenges for trucks. Batteries weaken, engines struggle to start, brakes are more heavily used, and visibility systems may fail.
Jaltest INFO Web provides all the technical information needed to diagnose these problems directly from the platform.
It’s fast, intuitive, and requires no additional hardware—just log in to access fault codes, guides, and repair procedures.
