Continental: Whitepaper provides information on the digitalization of commercial vehicle fleets
The collection of materials provides user voices as well as new service solutions and product developments. The whitepaper “Intelligent Tires – Digital Solutions for Efficient and Sustainable Logistics” offers insights into the application areas of digitalization in a future-oriented tire management in the commercial vehicle sector. In-depth texts and highly useful elements such as interviews, statements, and videos provide a quick overview and a professional introduction to the topic.
Focus: Aspects of Digitization in the Commercial Vehicle Industry
According to a study by Fraunhofer IESE on the future of mobility, digital solutions are key to optimizing operations and reducing costs. Therefore, the pressure is steadily increasing for companies to digitize their fleets. Tires and integrated tire pressure monitoring systems play a central role in the digital transformation.
"They enable proactive maintenance, cost reduction, minimization of energy consumption, and reduction of emissions," says Franziska Ohliger, Head of Commercial Consumer Business Solutions, EMEA. "Fleet managers increasingly use connected solutions to create real-time reports on vehicle status and thus control the main cost drivers."
Individually tailored and results-oriented solutions are coming to the forefront to allow fleet operators to fully concentrate on their core business. The white paper "Intelligent Tires" addresses these aspects of digitization. Freight forwarders and fleet operators share their experiences with digital solutions. The focus is on the criteria of cost-efficiency, proactive planning of tire services, operational safety, and sustainability.
AI and Digital Tire Management in Practice
Voices from practice complement the technical input of the whitepaper:
“Artificial intelligence and the networking of data will be existential for profitability in transport logistics,” says Bernd Klotz, Managing Director of Klotz Transport Company, with confidence.
“ContiConnect Live enables us to actively manage the processes related to tires, rather than just being able to react to tire failures and vehicle breakdowns,” adds Ran Gordon, Manager of the Israeli freight company Gor Oz.
“With ContiConnect and the multifunctional app that offers fleet managers even more operational flexibility, the company has taken the next step towards predictive maintenance,” states Paul Broker, Fleet Engineering Director, G.Webb Haulage.
“My goal is to make my fleet more reliable. Checking tire pressure, having no more breakdowns, and providing more safety for our 55 drivers – these are the three most important advantages of ContiConnect Live for me,” reports Andy Baum, Managing Director of Klaus Baum Logistics.
“A digitalized fleet can be maintained predictively, and this effectively contributes to CO2 savings and resource conservation, while increasing the operational safety of the vehicles,” explains Gerhard Pomberg, Logistics Operations Manager at Remondis Soest. “Thanks to ContiConnect, I can now focus on the things that are really important to me: the growth of the company and providing safe and reliable public transport for the entire region,” says Bruno Druetta, Fleet Manager at the Italian company Bus Company SRL.
The new whitepaper “Intelligent Tires – Digital Solutions for Efficient and Sustainable Logistics” offers 24 pages of background information, photographic material, topic ideas, and contacts on digital solutions, which currently belong to the key topics in the logistics and transport industry.
