Continental has partnered with Samsara, a global telematics provider, to deliver data-driven fleet management solutions with a focus on truck trailers. The collaboration aims to enhance fleet efficiency and sustainability by integrating data from Continental’s in-tire sensors with Samsara’s trailer data. This integration is designed to provide customers with a broad spectrum of trailer data, including tire pressure and mileage from Continental’s sensors.
Facilitated by Continental’s third-party integration capabilities and Samsara’s open API, both partners suggest the data will help fleet operators improve safety, enhance productivity and maintenance and optimize trailer allocation and planning.
“Our collaboration with Samsara will deliver comprehensive and user-centric solutions, enriching the overall experience of fleet customers. We envision this as the first of many projects to provide even more holistic and actionable insights to fleet operators. After all, tires have a significant impact on the sustainability of a fleet and its costs. On average, they are an influencing factor for half of a fleet’s costs,” said Clarisa Doval, head of digital solutions at Continental Tires.
The partnership will be showcased for the first time at the Samsara Beyond 2024 event in Chicago, USA, June 26, 27 and 28. On June 27, Doval will also participate in a panel discussion titled ‘On the Move: Innovations in Trailer Technology’.
