Webfleet partners with Volkswagen Info Services to connect VW brands to its system

Webfleet, Bridgestone’s advanced fleet management solution, has partnered with Volkswagen Group Info Services AG.

Through OEM.connect, Webfleet’s factory-fit connectivity programme, fleet operators can now connect vehicles from six Volkswagen Group brands directly to Webfleet.

This is intended to enable fleets running Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Škoda, Seat, Cupra and Audi vehicles to access Webfleet services without installing aftermarket hardware.

Eligible vehicles with factory-fitted connectivity are activated using the vehicle identification number (VIN).

From there, Webfleet services are available within minutes to simplify onboarding and provide fleet operators with fast, easy and secure access to vehicle data.

These data insights aim to help businesses improve operational efficiency, reduce operating costs and support safe and sustainable driving.

Jan-Maarten de Vries, president of fleet management solutions at Bridgestone, said: “We always aim to make connecting vehicles to Webfleet as quick and easy as possible.

“Adding six Volkswagen Group brands to OEM.connect serves that goal perfectly. Fleet operators get immediate access to valuable data that helps them optimise their operations.
