Amsterdam, Netherlands- Webfleet Solutions, Bridgestone Mobility Solutions B.V. fleet management solution, has expanded its OEM.connect programme to trailers, partnering first with Schmitz Cargobull manufacturer of semi-trailers for temperature-controlled freight, general cargo and bulk goods in Europe. Now, commercial fleet operators can connect Schmitz Cargobull trailers directly with Webfleet through factory-installed telematics, accessing valuable data to enhance trailer utilisation, reduce downtime, and improve safety without aftermarket hardware.
Mr. Taco van der Leij, Vice President Webfleet Europe at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, said, “Trailers are the backbone of long-haul goods transportation, but managing a trailer fleet can be challenging. Making our proven Webfleet Trailer solution now easily accessible via OEM data, will help even more businesses with real-time data insights and actionable intelligence to maximise trailer performance. We are happy that we are collaborating with Schmitz Cargobull, offering our customers seamless integration with Europe’s leading semi-trailer manufacturer’’.
Commercial fleet operators can now connect trailers to the Webfleet platform using Schmitz Cargobull's TrailerConnect portal with just the VIN number. Factory-fitted telematics eliminate the need for extra hardware, saving both time and costs. This integration provides full access to advanced Webfleet features like trip and location monitoring, maintenance, safety checks, payload tracking, TPMS, and temperature data.
Mr. Sören Danielsen, Manager Strategy & Business Development at Schmitz Cargobull said, "With the TrailerConnect Data Management Center from Schmitz Cargobull, hauliers have full control over their data and can pass on selected data to third parties in an efficient way. By intelligently linking information on the vehicle, tour and order, more than just position and temperature data can be selected, processed and transmitted to third-party systems at the touch of a button in future. The TrailerConnect® Data Management Center stands for connectivity and transparency. Everyone involved along the supply chain benefits from this."
