<\/p>\nZF has entered a long-term agreement with Goodyear, bringing together ZF\u2019s advanced Transics-branded, Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) and Goodyear\u2019s high performing tyre portfolio and mobility solutions.<\/p>\n
Initially, ZF and Goodyear will offer European commercial vehicle fleets an integrated suite of fleet and tyre management applications supporting mixed and multi-brand fleets.<\/p>\n
Through an interoperable and flexible solution, based on a single telematics box, TX-Trailerpulse, fleets can access the services and support of both companies, including Goodyear tyre data and full access to ZF\u2019s Transics FMS solutions, TX-Trailerfit and TX-Connect.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cZF\u2019s collaboration with Goodyear harnesses the expertise and extensive capabilities of two industry-leaders behind a shared conviction to offer European fleets and trailer builders the benefits of a one-stop Fleet Management Solution,\u201d said Peter Bal, business leader \u2013 digital customer services, EMEA with ZF\u2019s Commercial Vehicle Control System division.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur ability to supply an integrated solution, with reduced hardware investment, means Europe\u2019s commercial fleets can benefit from simplified operations as they seek to gain further efficiency, enhance safety and improve cargo security. The system will also help fleets meet upcoming EU GSR5 regulations which requires HCVs to be equipped with TPMS progressively from July 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gr\u00e9gory Boucharlat, vice president, commercial Europe with Goodyear added: \u201cTogether with ZF, we will deliver a major step-change to further drive results for transportation, logistics, fleet operators and manufacturers.<\/p>\n
\u201cProviding strong differentiation with interoperable proactive tyre and vehicle management solutions and intelligent services, we continue to deliver the very latest, future-proof and customised support for our customers right across Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n
To provide fleets with an integrated fleet and tyre management solution, ZF and Goodyear said they will leverage real-time data generated from all makes of Trailer Braking Systems (T-EBS) and tyre sensors. This will equip fleet operators and drivers with a wide range of actionable insights and smart functions. These are designed to optimise vehicle park usage while also helping to avoid road accidents and mitigate unscheduled vehicle downtime.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Addressing market demand for more open and seamlessly integrated FMS, the collaboration will provide fleets with the combined benefits of both ZF\u2019s fleet management services and Goodyear\u2019s high performing commercial vehicle tyre portfolio.<\/p>\n
With a clear focus on vehicle safety, the interoperable solution will enable fleets and trailer builders to comply with the EU General Safety Regulation mandated advanced safety functions which, come into effect from July 2022.<\/p>\n
Supporting greener mobility, the real-time data obtained from the trailer\u2019s onboard systems and tyres will enable fleets to optimise vehicle usage, reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions. The partners estimate that the collaboration could realise an emissions reduction of up to two tons of CO2 per connected trailer.<\/p>\n
In addition to customers being free to select either company as their supplier, the modular and extendable total mobility offer means they only need to buy the functionalities required and can upgrade, if additional services are required later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
