DCPT Using Preteckt's AI Across Bus Fleet

Preteckt announced it has secured a commercial agreement with Dutchess County Public Transit (DCPT). 

Preteckt’s AI-powered predictive maintenance can detect issues in buses before they become progressively worse and empowers bus maintenance teams with repair plans to ensure safer and more reliable vehicles. 

The agreement will see Preteckt’s technology used across DCPT’s fleet of buses. 

DCPT carried out a procurement process to find a technology that would improve fleet maintenance and selected Preteckt’s technology, as its solution was the only one that met the requirements. 

This AI solution for maintenance has the support from the agency’s technology and maintenance teams.
