Platform Science first to achieve Canadian ELD Certification on Daimler Truck North America’s CTP2

Platform Science, a leading connected vehicle platform, today announced the expansion of its Canadian electronic logging device (ELD) certification on Daimler Truck North America's (DTNA) factory-installed Common Telematics Platform 2 (CTP2), making Platform Science the first to achieve this milestone. Built on Platform Science's Virtual Vehicle® platform, this expanded ELD certification enables fleets operating Freightliner and Western Star vehicles equipped with CTP2 to run a single, integrated compliance solution across the US & Canada, unlocking seamless cross-border operations with no aftermarket ELD gateway hardware required.

CTP2 is DTNA’s factory-installed hardware platform enabling telematics providers to access vehicle data directly from the truck installed in the Fourth Generation Freightliner Cascadia, Freightliner Plus series, and the Western Star X-Series.Fleets operating DTNA trucks with a CTP2 can now use Platform Science's ELD natively, simplifying compliance for Canadian and cross-border operations. This certification marks a pivotal advancement in compliance technology for Canadian and cross-border fleets operating DTNA vehicles.

“Our Canadian certification on the CTP2 represents a new standard for how compliance technology can be delivered to fleets,” said Darrin Demchuk, SVP of Product - Fleet North America, Platform Science. “With certification now extended from the U.S. to Canada, we're giving carriers a fully integrated, factory-supported ELD solution that meets rigorous third-party standards right out of the box."

The Canadian Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate requires federally regulated commercial carriers to use certified ELDs to track Hours of Service (HOS), replacing paper logs and improving safety. Canadian ELDs must be independently tested and certified by a third-party body accredited by the Minister of Transport. Each device must pass hundreds of test cases and submit to annual retesting to maintain its certified status, a process designed to protect carriers from falsified ELDs and ensure independent verification of compliance.

Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle® platform unlocks vehicle data and enables fleets to deploy compliance, telematics, and driver applications through a single, unified system. By eliminating fragmented point solutions, fleets can simplify operations today and adapt quickly to industry requirements.
