DCLI to Equip 100,000 Chassis with BlackBerry Radar for Enhanced Fleet Monitoring

BlackBerry Limited announced that Direct ChassisLink, Inc. (DCLI), the largest container chassis provider in the U.S., will deploy BlackBerry Radar across 100,000 of its 53-foot domestic chassis. The decision follows a successful five-year pilot and is part of DCLI’s broader strategy to enhance operational efficiency, asset visibility, and fleet reliability.

BlackBerry Radar will provide near real-time data on chassis location, cargo load status, motion, and maintenance needs. The solution aims to improve logistics planning, billing accuracy, and safety compliance through advanced sensors and cloud-based data analytics.

DCLI CEO Lee Newitt emphasized that the GPS upgrade reflects DCLI’s commitment to leading the intermodal industry through innovation. BlackBerry SVP Christopher Plaat highlighted the importance of asset tracking amid rising freight industry challenges, noting the platform’s ability to deliver actionable insights for optimized fleet management.

The rollout further cements BlackBerry’s role in industrial IoT, with Radar offering a secure, device-agnostic, cloud-connected system tailored for the transportation sector.
