Via the intuitive customer portal Loreka, users have 24/7 access to easy-to-interpret fleet-wide turbocharger health indicators using a traffic light status and accompanying advisories provided by Accelleron experts.
 
As part of the new offering, Accelleron provides guaranteed coverage for the entire duration of the service agreement, which is based on a fixed price per running hour and covers scheduled and unscheduled maintenance with protection against unexpected events andwear on the turbochargers.

Dr. Thorsten Bosse, Head of Global Service Product Management at Accelleron, said, “Turbocharger data is carefully analyzed by Accelleron experts, who provide deeper insights and advisories by combining analytics with our long history ofengineering design experience. As experts in the field of turbocharging, we provide Turbo SmartCare customers with insightful advice, for example on how to fine-tune Time Between Overhauls(TBO) to allow alignment of the engine overhaul with that of the turbocharger.  This type of agreement represents a fundamental change in how we do turbocharger servicing in our industry.”
