TomTom and Bridgestone want to accelerate fleet electrification
The Dutch navigation and geolocation specialist TomTom has signed a multi-year contract with Bridgestone Mobility Solutions to help companies optimize their fleets and accelerate the transition to electric vehicles. Bridgestone Mobility Solutions' fleet management software, Webfleet, utilizes TomTom's navigation, mapping, and live traffic data, which is fed from over 600 million connected devices worldwide. The result is intended to be an integrated fleet management solution that allows companies to manage all their vehicles through a single platform. As part of the expanded collaboration, Webfleet integrates the Dutch company's EV data and EV routing products into its solution portfolio for electric vehicles, aiming to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles and ensure reliable operation in a cost-efficient manner.
“Optimizing global logistics and supporting our customers in overcoming the challenges associated with fleet electrification remain important goals for us at TomTom,” explains Mike Schoofs, Chief Revenue Officer at TomTom.
They are working on supporting the electrification of vehicle fleets worldwide, adds Paul Verheijen, Vice President of Product Strategy & Partnerships at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, and wants to contribute to accelerating the electrification of fleets. At the same time, traffic data, maps, and navigation should be used to optimize delivery, positively influence driving behavior, and improve range, thereby increasing the overall productivity of fleets, Verheijen continues.
