Volvo’s New Remote Programming Tech Now Standard on All Trucks Photo: Volvo Trucks North America At the start of the year, Volvo introduced a new Remote Programming feature called Driver Display Activation. It was, at the time, not yet in production — but after a successful four-month pilot program, the Swedish manufacturer has not only given it the green light but decided it would come as standard tech on all Volvo trucks. Officially, DDA is part of an Uptime Services bundle offered by the company’s Remote Diagnostics service. The goal, and the main upside, is that it enables Volvo truck operators to have hands-on control over their trucks’ software updates.
