When opportunity knocks, you have to seize the moment, which is exactly what Webfleet is going to do – in the United Arab Emirates.
The announcement comes as the UAE continues to spearhead smart-city developments.
According to Justin Manson, South Africa’s sales director for the truck fleet telematics solutions provider, the Emirati government is committed to making investments in smart city technology and a number of innovative projects concentrating on several areas, including transportation.
“As a result, we realised the need to expand the company's presence in the UAE.”
A company statement says the launch of Webfleet in the UAE will pave the way for a more sustainable future through data-driven mobility solutions, supporting fleet managers and drivers to save fuel and emissions, help stay compliant with evolving regulations and enable fleet electrification while running a profitable and reliable business.
Jan Maarten de Vries, president of Fleet Management Solutions at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, Webfleet’s holding company, said the launch was a strategic move and the next step in Webfleet’s global expansion strategy.
“We are optimistic about the transformative impact that our solutions will have on fleet management in the region.
“Beyond traditional telematics offerings, Webfleet will provide small and large businesses with actionable data insights to increase operating performance, reduce costs and increase road safety, as well as enable them to run a more sustainable operation.”
