Fostering customer engagement through real-time interactive experiences

Unlike passenger automotive, the commercial vehicle industry has unique customers with different expectations. Daimler Trucks North America has been using real time immersive experiences to give our customers the first experience of what their truck could be with their unique needs in mind. Visualizing technical details like mounting points, cable routing, 3rd party accessory integration and customized features, all before the truck exists in the real world. Leveraging real-time interactive experiences can help us communicate our product offering more effectively and build a strong partnership with our customers.
