Aperia and Goodyear Launch a New Era in Tire Management

Aperia Technologies Inc., a leader in tire management solutions tailored for medium and heavy-duty trucking fleets, has recently announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Goodyear. This partnership will enhance Goodyear's global Tires-as-a-Service (TaaS) offering through the incorporation of Aperia’s innovative Halo Connect i3™ technology.

What is Tires-as-a-Service?

Tires-as-a-Service represents a subscription model designed to alleviate the burdens of tire management for fleet operators. Combining Goodyear's premium tires, consistent tire monitoring, predictive analytics, and a robust service network, TaaS provides a seamless tire management experience. Such a solution is particularly advantageous for commercial fleets and last-mile delivery services, which have reported efficiency improvements and reduced downtime since adopting TaaS.

The benefits of Goodyear’s TaaS solution are evident. Fleet operators have noted that with 95% of their tires properly inflated, they have observed an average fuel savings of 3% and a remarkable 50% reduction in breakdown incidents, ensuring their vehicles operate reliably and efficiently.

The Halo Connect i3™ Advantage

The collaboration features the Halo Connect i3™ automatic tire inflator, which brings a new level of sophistication to tire maintenance. This technology not only monitors tire pressure continually but also allows for remote adjustments of tire pressure settings tailored to each fleet’s unique needs. With the Halo Connect i3™ already in use by thousands of trucks and trailers, it has demonstrated a capacity to significantly decrease the necessity for roadside assistance.

Gregory Boucharlat, Vice President of Goodyear's Tires-as-a-Service initiative, emphasized the importance of maintaining optimal tire pressure to enhance fuel efficiency and prolong tire lifespan:

“The Halo Connect i3 is an essential part of our comprehensive TaaS solution. We are excited to partner with Aperia, as it allows us to provide an unmatched value proposition to our fleet customers.”

Ralph Dimenna, Chief Commercial Officer at Aperia Technologies, echoed this sentiment, stating:

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Goodyear as their automatic tire inflation provider. This partnership represents an exciting opportunity for us to enable the future of tire management as Goodyear expands its TaaS services across North America and Europe. With our technology managing over a million tires and having witnessed over 100 billion real-world miles, this agreement speaks volumes about our platform's reliability.”
