Samsara Launches Electronic Brake Performance Monitoring System (EBPMS) to Help UK Fleets Meet New DVSA Guidelines<\/b><\/p>\n

The system, part of Samsara\u2019s new <\/i>Smart Trailer<\/i><\/a> solution, will monitor trailer braking performance, reduce downtime, and deliver cost savings for fleet-based businesses<\/i><\/p>\n

Samsara also unveils its Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) as part of wider Smart Trailers drive in EMEA<\/i><\/p>\n

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Samsara Inc.<\/a> (“Samsara”) (NYSE: IOT), the pioneer of the Connected Operations\u00ae<\/sup> Platform, today announced the launch of its Electronic Brake Performance Monitoring System (EBPMS) to help fleet operators meet new guidelines<\/a> from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), which are coming into effect from April 2025.\n<\/p>\n

\nUnder these guidelines, fleets are expected to carry out four laden brake performance assessments per year \u2013 conducted via roller brake tests (RBTs) \u2013 costing fleets time and money. However, by using a compliant EBPMS to demonstrate brake performance throughout the year, fleets could potentially reduce the need for multiple physical brake tests.\n<\/p>\n

\nBy continuously monitoring braking data, Samsara\u2019s EBPMS \u2013 part of its new Smart Trailer solution \u2013 reduces the need for manual testing, helping fleets maintain compliance without unnecessary interruptions to operations.\n<\/p>\n

\n“The introduction of EBPMS marks a major step forward for fleet safety and operational efficiency,” said David Gal, Vice President of Product and Engineering at Samsara. “Our new system enables proactive maintenance, minimising costly failures and vehicle downtime.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cBy leveraging real-time data from the trailer\u2019s electronic braking systems (EBS) via our Asset Gateway<\/a>, fleet operators can proactively address braking issues before they become problematic, and could save fleets up to \u00a31,200 per trailer a year.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAccording to Fox Brothers<\/a> \u2013 the Lancashire-based business with a fleet of more than 80 lorries specialising in the supply and haulage of aggregates and recycled materials \u2013 the new EBPMS system looks set to strengthen their compliance while ensuring their vehicles stay on the road for longer.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe’re keen to implement Samsara’s new EBPMS solution across our trailer fleet to meet compliance requirements,\u201d said Simon Colderley, Transport Manager, at Fox Brothers.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cRather than taking trailers off the road for manual testing, being able to import performance data directly will make testing much easier \u2013 especially since our fleet operates nationwide,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n

\nLee Wills, Director Conway Bailey Transport Ltd \/ RR Transport Ltd<\/a>, added, “When the Samsara team promises something, they follow through. Samsara’s EBPMS will provide a one-stop solution for our Trailer compliance needs. The ‘plug and play’ nature of Samara provides simple and fast installation but also a single system for our Trailer information needs, as opposed to a confusing mix of individual systems.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe new DVSA guidelines are part of a wider move toward technology-driven fleet management, with Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) also becoming mandatory for new trailers in the EU from July 2024. The UK, while no longer part of the EU, continues to follow many of the same vehicle safety standards, and TPMS adoption is expected to align with these changes.\n<\/p>\n

\nSamsara\u2019s TPMS, another component of its Smart Trailer solution, which is in open beta, continuously monitors tyre pressure and temperature, sending real-time alerts to fleet managers and drivers. This enables proactive maintenance, reducing the risk of costly breakdowns and ensuring vehicles remain safe and efficient while on the road.\n<\/p>\n
