Wheely-Safe to supply sensors to global telematics market

,

Wheely-Safe is making its patented sensor technology available to telematics companies worldwide, after establishing a dedicated business to supply and integrate its sensors with third-party telematics systems.

The move follows the organic and successful implementation of Wheely-Safe sensors into a handful of telematics companies to-date. Now, with the formation of a separate business to focus on this activity, Wheely-Safe Sensors Ltd will directly enable more buses, coaches, trucks and trailers to be protected by the brand’s award-winning tyre and wheel safety technologies, which already feature on more than 30,000 vehicles.

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.
