Webfleet is collaborating with trailer maker Krone to offer integrated telematics via its OEM.connect programme.

Commercial fleet operators can now connect their Krone trailers to the Webfleet platform via factory fitted telematics, which it said eliminated the need for aftermarket hardware installations.

It added that operators could access data to boost trailer utilisation, reduce downtime and improve safety and security.

“Utilising our OEM.connect programme is the quickest way to get trailers online and start enjoying the benefits of the Webfleet platform that supports you to efficiently manage your trailer fleet,” said Jan-Maarten de Vries, president fleet management solutions at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions.

Maximilian Birle, MD Krone Digital added: “By cooperating with Webfleet, we are offering our customers advanced telematics features with an easy-to-use interface from one of the leading fleet management solutions in Europe.

“With the touch of a button, hauliers can get advanced data intelligence and insights with no expenses related to downtime or installation.”

Last year, Schmitz Cargobull become the first trailer manufacturer to join the programme.
