Pirelli, Geotab partner on connected sensor solutions

Pirelli is partnering with Geotab, a global leader in connected transportation. The new partnership sees Pirelli’s Cyber Fleet system available on the Geotab Marketplace. The new integrated offer, which aims to assist in improving fleets’ operating efficiency and sustainability, will be rolled out initially in key European markets before being extended to the United States, Canada and Brazil, Pirelli said.

Pirelli Cyber Fleet is available for fleet managers to monitor remotely

The Pirelli Cyber Fleet system is an enhanced fleet management solution for tyres. It uses internal tyre sensors to measure and analyse temperature and pressure data. This data is gathered and relayed to an app that can be downloaded onto a tablet or smartphone and sent to Geotab’s digital platform. This simplifies the monitoring process for daily truck and tyre checks. It allows remote viewing of vehicle insights to help fleet managers identify potential issues quickly, contributing to improved safety, efficiency and better planning for necessary vehicle maintenance. Pirelli says the partnership “enables efficient tyre health monitoring which will help customers improve productivity, enhance driver safety and increase the overall health and longevity of a vehicle.”

Daniel Gainza, Pirelli Tyre as a Service chief operations officer, said: “Pirelli’s Cyber Fleet technology allows us to integrate tyres within a platform of services based on connectivity, in a way that is extremely simple to use. By partnering with Geotab, Pirelli is proud to be among some of the top solutions for vehicles and fleets helping to optimise fuel consumption and reduce emissions.”

“The addition of Pirelli Cyber Fleet on the Geotab Marketplace will provide fleets with access to a focused safety solution specifically designed to support tyre health and as a result, the longevity of their vehicles,” said Stefano Peduzzi, vice president, technology solutions and operations Europe, Geotab. “Geotab prides itself on providing our customers with access to best-in-class tyre pressure monitoring tools that can help them reduce the need for unexpected tyre maintenance, and in turn aid in improving driver safety and increasing overall fleet efficiency.”
