requirements of the sector for safe and economical transportation solutions. The recognition
further reinforces the company’s position as a pioneering player in the industry, fostering

innovations and devising state-of-the-art solutions that contribute towards building smarter and
safer cities.

Jacques Fourie, President of Bridgestone Middle East and Africa said: “We are delighted to
secure the prestigious Tyre Technology Provider of the Year Award for the third consecutive year.

This accolade acknowledges our unwavering commitment to pioneering digital mobility solutions
through a synergy of innovation, partnerships, and research. At Bridgestone, sustainability is

integral to our vision for the future as we evolve into a provider of advanced and sustainable
mobility solutions.

Over the years, Bridgestone has maintained a leading position in the industry by pushing the
boundaries of innovation to develop new tyre technologies. By leveraging the vast potential of

innovative technologies, the company has developed smart tyres to enhance driving
experiences. Bridgestone’s smart tyres are embedded with a sensor, which provides drivers with
real-time information and assessment on road conditions. The sensor transmits the information

wirelessly to the analytical apparatus inside the car and then wirelessly communicates back to
the driver through an in-car display.

In addition, Bridgestone has developed the iTrack solution, a real-time monitoring system for
identifying tyre damage issues, the TPMS for off-road and mining tyres, and Webfleet Solutions,

which has applications ranging from mileage and HGV-specific navigation to transport
management systems and on-board cameras.

In light of its continuous efforts to be a global leader in tyres and sustainable mobility solutions

Bridgestone is actively propelling the data-driven mobility shift. The company provides solutions
for vehicles and fleets, focusing on maximizing tire impact through tire-centric and subscription-

based offerings. Bridgestone’s commitment extends to shaping sustainable mobility, smart
cities, and future logistics by leveraging telematics data beyond the vehicle. This aligns with the
Bridgestone E8 Commitment, guiding the company’s journey towards Bridgestone 3.0 and the

evolution of its business strategy.
