Schmitz Cargobull, leading manufacturer of semi-trailers for temperature-controlled freight, general cargo and bulk goods in Europe, is factory-fitting the telematics hardware required to connect to Webfleet, eliminating the need for aftermarket hardware installations.

Bridgestone Mobility Solutions – TCO & sustainability driving integrated contracts

,

Although tyres account for only 2 to 4% of total fleet costs, they play a disproportionately large role in influencing other expenses, affecting fuel consumption, vehicle maintenance, and even safety. All these factors contribute to total cost of ownership, but by prioritising effective tyre management, fleet operators can significantly reduce fuel costs, decrease maintenance requirements, and maximise vehicle uptime. For Bridgestone, the provision of tailored solutions that help fleets optimise their cost structures is a business of growing significance.
