Bridgestone wins TyreSafe technology award

London – Bridgestone UK has been awarded TyreSafe innovation & use of technology award for a host of “technologically advanced products and services” across its business, the Japanese tire maker announced 27 Oct.

The award recognises Bridgestone’s technologies including “first-of-its-kind” monitoring system for detecting tire damage issues in real-time, TPMS for mining and off-the-road tires offered by Bridgestone’s iTrack Solutions, and its Webfleet Solutions, which offers transport management systems and on-board cameras.

Upon announcing the winner, TyreSafe chair and chair of awards judging, Stuart Jackson, said Bridgestone’s entry was “an impressive submission.” 

The judges, he said, were presented with “an in-depth programme of content with clear objectives and supporting assets which amplified the message very well.”

TyreSafe is a UK road safety charity and is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of correct tire maintenance.

The accolade represents further recognition for Bridgestone from TyreSafe, having collected the tire manufacturer of the year title in 2018, an outstanding achievement award in 2017 and an innovation and use of technology trophy for DriveGuard, also in 2017.
