Mr. Parag Satpute, Senior Vice President Bridgestone Mobility Solutions and President Fleet Business, said, "We are happy to return to IAA TRANSPORTATION this year with our advanced portfolio of data-driven and AI-powered fleet solutions under our common Bridgestone Fleet Care Programme that is being rolled out in Europe and the United States. It underlines our commitment to providing fleets with better outcomes for their business, with improved efficiency, convenience and sustainability and we can't wait to show you what we have in store."

Bridgestone Fleet Care, launched in Europe two years ago, offers fleets a customizable suite of premium tires, services, and management tools, including the Webfleet system. At IAA TRANSPORTATION 2024, Bridgestone will showcase two key features: the Fleet Data Analytics Dashboard, which integrates tire and telematics data to provide actionable insights and benchmarking for fleet performance, and Smart Predictive Maintenance, which uses real-time data from OE sensors to predict tire maintenance needs, enhancing safety, efficiency, and tire longevity.

Celebrating 25 years in telematics, Webfleet, part of Bridgestone Fleet Care, is introducing a new AI Assistant at IAA TRANSPORTATION 2024. This AI tool, integrated with the Webfleet OptiDrive Solution, allows fleet managers to easily interact with data using simple prompts, providing real-time and historical insights on fleet performance, including fuel consumption and driving behavior. Webfleet will also showcase its extensive range of products, including video telematics and cold chain solutions, while honoring customers who have achieved significant success with Webfleet technologies.

Our new AI Assistent is the next step in harnessing the power of data and providing our customers the fastest and most convenient way to make informed decisions to optimise their operations.''
