Bridgestone and Webfleet Solutions signpost the future of sustainable mobility at ITT Hub 2022
April 28, 2022 – Mobility solutions specialists Bridgestone and Webfleet Solutions will showcase the latest transport innovations at ITT Hub to help businesses cut costs, drive efficiencies and reduce their carbon footprint.
Delegates at the leading commercial and passenger road transport event – taking place on May 11-12 at Farnborough International – will discover the latest developments in energy efficient tyres and connected fleet technology for more sustainable, efficient operations.
Bridgestone's Commercial Business Unit Director David Almazán said: ITT Hub provides us with the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how our advanced technologies can help fleets to drive efficiencies, realise cost-savings, reduce their carbon footprints and raise the bar in service delivery.
An overarching picture will be painted of telematics combining with superior, premium products to provide industry-defining solutions for fleets – namely, maximised productivity and minimised total cost of ownership. It is in this regard that Bridgestone will state its case as a genuine mobility solutions pioneer.
Flagship products to be brought to life at ITT Hub will be the Ecopia H002 and the U-AP 002.
The Ecopia H002 is a fuel efficient tyre engineered to help long haul fleet operations cut their operational costs and CO2 emissions, while the U-AP 002 is Bridgestone's quietest bus product to date, reducing noise pollution by 2dB compared to its predecessor. It has a higher load capacity versus the 001, which is crucial when factoring in battery weight, and is certified to eight tonnes in steer axle.
Both products are fully in line with demanding EU legislations, notably in terms of CO2 emissions and noise and are traceable with electronic tagging system RFID (radio-frequency identification), adding value to customers looking to benefit from connectivity and predictive maintenance on the roads.
Attendees will also have an opportunity to learn more about WEBFLEET's award-winning EV fleet management features, with experts on hand to explain how the software solution can enable, support and simply the electric transition.
The company will also showcase its dedicated passenger transport tools to help improve safety, service reliability and regulatory compliance.
In addition, Richard Parker, UKI EV Lead, Webfleet Solutions will be joining a panel of speakers at the event's Future Logistics Conference to offer his view on when and how to implement an electric van strategy, with the deadline for the end of sale of fossil fuel-powered vehicles fast approaching.
The Future of Transport
session at 10am, Thursday May 12, will include a keynote speech from Trudy Harrison MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department of Transport
With demand for sustainable mobility growing year-on-year, fleet managers need a reliable and innovative partner to help them optimise their decarbonisation strategies, while raising the cost-efficiency and service delivery bar
, said Beverley Wise, Regional Director UK & Ireland, Webfleet Solutions.
We look forward to demonstrating the power of our advanced solutions, which are playing an important role in helping fleet and passenger transport operators achieve their carbon neutral and wider business goals.
