WABCO Aligns with SmartDrive on Safety and Efficiency for Commercial Fleets
WABCO Holdings Inc. (NYSE: WBC), a leading global supplier of safety and efficiency technologies for commercial vehicles, has announced that it has formed a strategic alliance in North America with SmartDrive Systems, a leader in fleet performance management solutions geared towards lowering fuel consumption and reducing collisions.
The combined effort is designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of commercial vehicle fleet operators in North America.
Two examples are noteworthy: SmartDrive Systems fleet customers have reported collision cost reductions of up to 70 percent after the first year and fuel savings of up to 10 percent, while WABCO’s OnGuard™ collision mitigation system so far has been protecting customers collectively for more than 6 billion miles in North America.
This new alliance will promote WABCO’s SmartTrac™ stability control and OnGuard™ collision mitigation systems. SmartDrive Systems’ open and extensible platform integrates information from data-rich vehicle systems, such as WABCO’s advanced braking and stability control technologie,s into its offerings in real-time.
By leveraging this information, it offers fleet operators valued insights into driving events to determine what happened, when and why vehicle safety systems engaged, and the potential root causes of safety-related incidents.
As an industry leader in fuel management and driver safety, SmartDrive Systems offers video-based driving performance insights and analytics.
This information can help fleets to reduce risky driving maneuvers that lead to collisions and drive up operational costs – and sustain those results over time.
SmartDrive Systems maintains a database of more than 70 million analyzed risky driving events that power predictive analytics and real-time risk identification.
Sales, distribution and customer support for the products featured within the partners’ alliance framework will be provided in North America by Meritor WABCO, the joint venture between WABCO Holdings and Meritor Inc.
