Schmitz Cargobull, Europe's leading trailer manufacturer, and AddSecure, Europe's leading provider of IoT connectivity and end-to-end solutions, are expanding their existing collaboration.

As part of the partnership, a fully integrated telematics solution for trucks and trailers will be introduced, which also includes data from the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). This solution is designed to optimise fleet management, drive digitalisation and provide scalable systems for fleet operators.

In the future, transport and logistics companies will benefit from a standardised application that seamlessly transfers telematics data from Schmitz Cargobull vehicles and various truck manufacturers to AddSecure's FleetVision portal. This data is provided via Schmitz Cargobull's own TrailerConnect® Data Management Centre (DMC). The integration takes place without additional hardware or manual set-up, is immediately ready for use and significantly reduces the workload for IT departments. This saves time and costs and improves data connectivity.

"Our goal is to offer our customers the best telematics services together with AddSecure," explains Dr Cafer Ince, Head of Product Line Digital Services and Managing Director of Cargobull Telematics & KubikX GmbH.

"A solution that sets new standards"

Claes Ödman, President AddSecure Smart Transport, adds: "The partnership with Schmitz Cargobull enables us to deliver a solution that sets new standards across Europe. The automatic integration of vehicle data in FleetVision enables next-generation fleet management - safe, intelligent and sustainable."

All Schmitz Cargobull vehicles are equipped with TrailerConnect® trailer telematics as standard. The TrailerConnect® portal serves as a central data platform on which all relevant telematics data is collated and made available, regardless of the hardware used. With the TrailerConnect® Data Management Centre, Schmitz Cargobull supports hauliers in their daily transport business by enabling order-relevant data to be transmitted selectively and securely to clients and customers. It is ready for immediate use without additional IT implementation, enables centralised monitoring and control of the entire fleet and offers interfaces to common real-time visibility platforms and telematics systems. Users retain full control over their data, deciding on selective release themselves to protect their business and haulage network.

In order to utilise the available real-time data even more effectively, Schmitz Cargobull relies on strategic partnerships with over 40 established providers. Using the DMC's import function, customers can map their entire fleet - across all manufacturers - on the TrailerConnect® platform.

Beyond the market launch, Schmitz Cargobull and AddSecure are planning to further expand their collaboration in the area of retrofit solutions for refrigerated transport.
