Bridgestone and Webfleet launch EV services platform

Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, the business of Bridgestone focused on data-driven mobility solutions including Europe’s leading fleet management solution Webfleet, have announced “the world’s first comprehensive EV (electric vehicle) Services Platform for fleets.

The EV Services Platform is designed to integrate solutions from industry-leading mobility and energy providers into a single platform.

Businesses with fleets will be able to access a wide range of advanced EV services more easily, faster, and with a lower cost of integration, thereby accelerating electrification and optimising EV operations.

The platform, say the company, creates a seamless connection between these service providers based on fleet and energy data.

Webfleet will provide essential vehicle data insights that enhance the EV services provided by connected partners. The end result for fleets is a one-stop shop for a simple and successful electri­fic­ation journey.

This unique ecosystem organises its services into six key pillars, making it easy for customers to choose the ideal combination for their specific electric vehicle (EV) goals:

Charging Hardware and Software - Have experts provide your charging infrastructure according to your fleet’s needs. Monitor and analyse the performance of your private chargers.

Smart Charging - Reduce costs by avoiding peak loads and high energy tariffs, and lower emissions by utilising renewable energy.

Energy Management - Receive expert guidance on your energy infrastructure and efficient energy management for your vehicles and buildings.

Battery Analytics - Ensure fleet safety and reliability with alerts for battery issues. Improve vehicles’ residual value with reports on battery health.

Planning - Plan orders and optimize for electric fleets, considering energy, charging the battery, and route constraints.

Fleet Management - Run your EV operations reliably and optimally based on real-time vehicle data and insights on driver behaviour and energy consumption.
