KRONE and RIO Partner to Streamline Truck and Trailer Communication

Spelle,Germany- KRONE TRAILER and the logistics platform RIO have joined forces to enhance their digital services, marking a significant step towards streamlined communication between trucks and trailers. This collaboration aims to simplify tour planning for dispatchers and facilitate the exchange of vital data.

Now, transport companies can seamlessly transfer trailer data from KRONE Telematics to the RIO platform. RIO specializes in offering telematics, transport management, and driver communication solutions for freight and transport companies, irrespective of the vehicle manufacturer. This integration enables transport companies to view the combined position data of their trucks and trailers on a unified digital map within a fleet overview or share individual vehicle positions with customers via a link. Furthermore, additional telematics data will be gradually incorporated throughout the year.

Maximilian Birle, Head of KRONE Telematics & Digital Services, emphasized the benefits for customers: "Our collaboration with RIO opens up access to a wider range of digital services, enhancing efficiency in the transport sector. By seamlessly integrating truck and trailer data, KRONE aims to empower its customers to better navigate the evolving challenges of modern supply chains."

Our OEM-agnostic approach to data integration, achieved without the need for hardware retrofitting, provides tangible value to transport companies, offering a practical foundation for digitizing their transport processes. For RIO, this collaboration marks a pivotal milestone, ensuring that all relevant commercial vehicle brands are seamlessly integrated into our platform."
