The Power Brunch aims to highlight the often-overlooked role of trailers in fleet operations, drawing attention to trailer management solutions that are crucial for transporters looking to enhance overall fleet performance. While trailers are a key component of transport and logistics, they are frequently overshadowed by the focus on trucks. However, effective trailer management plays a vital role in preventing costly delays, meeting tightening safety and regulatory standards, and optimising fleet operations.
By addressing areas such as maintenance, load distribution, and compliance, fleet operators can significantly improve road safety and reduce operational costs in today’s competitive and highly regulated environment.
Shivani Pillay, Country Manager for MICHELIN Connected Fleet, commented: “Trailer management is a key factor that often goes unnoticed in fleet operations. However, it has a significant impact on safety, efficiency, and compliance. Through this event, we aim to provide actionable insights that will help transporters unlock the full potential of their fleet while staying compliant and efficient.”
The MICHELIN Connected Fleet Power Brunch is set to provide a unique platform for fleet managers, logistics professionals, and the media to engage with industry leaders on this critical topic. The event aims to shed light on the innovative solutions available to help transporters remain compliant and competitive in the ever-evolving transport sector.
