Samsara partnering with Continental for data-driven fleet solutions

Continental will work with with Samsara, a global telematics provider, to deliver comprehensive, data-driven fleet management solutions for truck trailers. Both companies will exchange data points to provide customers with access to a broad spectrum of trailer data, including in-tyre sensor data from Continental, such as tyre pressure and mileage.

According to Continental, both parties are committed to building an integration that enables fleets to improve safety, streamline productivity and maintenance intervals, optimise trailer allocation and planning, and gain comprehensive visibility into trailer assets. This overall approach contributes to Continental’s Lowest Overall Driving Costs (LODC) concept. Continental’s third-party integration capabilities and Samsara’s open API will facilitate the seamless integration of both companies’ data points into one system.

“Our collaboration with Samsara will deliver comprehensive and user-centric solutions, enriching the overall experience of fleet customers,” says Clarisa Doval, head of Digital Solutions at Continental Tires. “We envision this as the first of many projects to provide even more holistic and actionable insights to fleet operators. After all, tyres have a significant impact on the sustainability of a fleet and on its costs. On average, they are an influencing factor for half of a fleet’s costs.”
