Goodyear and Schmitz Cargobull enhance data integration between FleetHub and TrailerConnect®

August 2025 - Goodyear and Schmitz Cargobull have deepened their collaboration to enable seamless integration of Goodyear TPMS Connect for fleet customers. This will contribute to improving tyre management and increase the uptime and safety of Schmitz Cargobull vehicles. Through the Schmitz Cargobull TrailerConnect® Data Management Centre, both parties can now selectively and securely provide and retrieve tyre-relevant data.
Vehicle fleets with Schmitz Cargobull trailers can now benefit from Goodyear's tyre monitoring and predictive analytics, as they are directly compatible with the telematics and tyre pressure monitoring systems installed in Schmitz Cargobull vehicles, without the need for additional hardware or SIM cards.
Built-in intelligence, ready from the start
Goodyear TPMS Connect is a plug-and-play solution that integrates with Schmitz Cargobull's existing telematics infrastructure, providing instant access to real-time tyre performance data and actionable insights. Using Goodyear's proprietary G-Predict technology, fleets can anticipate tyre-related issues before they lead to unplanned downtime, helping to reduce operating costs and improve road safety.
"With this next step in our collaboration, we are combining the strengths of our proven trailer telematics with Goodyear's tyre intelligence solution," says Jan Uhlenbruck, Head of Full Service Solutions, Digital Services Product Line at Schmitz Cargobull. "The seamless integration of Goodyear TPMS Connect supports our goal of providing our customers with smarter, safer and more efficient transport solutions."
Support for smart, connected fleets
For Goodyear, this partnership is another important expansion of its ecosystem for fleet mobility.
"We are delighted to deepen our collaboration with Schmitz Cargobull by integrating Goodyear TPMS Connect directly into their trailer platform," says Piotr Czyżyk, Managing Director, Fleet Mobility Europe at Goodyear. "Through this integration, fleets can benefit from Goodyear's predictive analytics and tyre intelligence without having to install additional hardware - providing a smoother path to digitalisation and operational excellence."
The key benefits of Goodyear TPMS Connect are:
- Seamless integration: works with Schmitz Cargobull's integrated telematics and TPMS systems, no additional hardware required.
- Predictive maintenance: G-Predict technology helps prevent punctures through early detection of tyre problems.
- Increased safety and compliance: Supports TPMS-related EU regulations and contributes to improved safety through predictive warnings.
- Full tyre visibility: Provides complete data visibility, including pressure, temperature and GPS-based tracking.
With this joint offering, fleets benefit from a fully connected trailer solution that reduces tyre-related downtime and contributes to informed business decisions.
When it comes to transparency and networking, Schmitz Cargobull supports hauliers in their day-to-day transport operations with the TrailerConnect® Data Management Centre (DMC). Schmitz Cargobull relies on strategic partnerships with more than 40 established providers, such as Trimble, Krone, idem, RIO, ZF Transics, CO3, etc., so that the available real-time data can be utilised even more effectively. The DMC's import function enables customers to visualise their entire fleet - across all manufacturers - on the TrailerConnect® platform.
TheTrailerConnect® Data Management Centre is ready to use for connected systems without further IT implementation. The real-time data of the entire fleet is monitored and controlled at a central location. The outgoing interfaces to common real-time visibility platforms and telematics systems can be used directly. The user manages the data release himself, actively decides which data should be selectively shared and thus retains control over the data. This means full protection for your own business and haulage network. Business-sensitive data relating to your own transport network and the subcontractors involved is protected. All vehicle and transport data is processed in compliance with the GDPR and is accessible to the entire fleet in one place. In conjunction with TrailerConnect® TourTrack, the user has access to all information in real time, has a precise overview of tours and can react quickly to changes in processes. Interactive temperature monitoring and other functions are also available on a tour and order basis (FTL/LTL).
