Over the years, Bridgestone has maintained a leading position in the industry by pushing the boundaries of innovation to develop new tyre technologies. By leveraging the vast potential of innovative technologies, the company has developed smart tyres to enhance driving experiences. Bridgestone’s smart tyres are embedded with a sensor, which provides drivers with real-time information and assessment on road conditions. The sensor transmits the information wirelessly to the analytical apparatus inside the car and then wirelessly communicates back to the driver through an in-car display.
In addition, Bridgestone has developed the iTrack solution, a real-time monitoring system for identifying tyre damage issues, the TPMS for off-road and mining tyres, and Webfleet Solutions, which has applications ranging from mileage and HGV-specific navigation to transport management systems and on-board cameras.
In light of its continuous efforts to be a global leader in tyres and sustainable mobility solutions Bridgestone is actively propelling the data-driven mobility shift. The company provides solutions for vehicles and fleets, focusing on maximizing tire impact through tire-centric and subscription-based offerings. Bridgestone’s commitment extends to shaping sustainable mobility, smart cities, and future logistics by leveraging telematics data beyond the vehicle. This aligns with the Bridgestone E8 Commitment, guiding the company’s journey towards Bridgestone 3.0 and the evolution of its business strategy.
