      • Service tools that provide trip report summaries, fuel usage reports, braking summaries and low engine oil notifications.
      The new Driver Behavior Performance package will be available with or without a safety package featuring Eaton's Vorad Collision Warning System. It includes most of the Fleet Health functions, plus:
      • Revolutions per minute and miles per hour details and summaries, and an evaluation report.
      • Additional service tools that provide information on sudden acceleration events and coasting exceptions.
