BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aperia Technologies, Inc., a leading supplier of tire management technologies that improve the safety and efficiency of commercial vehicles, announced today the company’s expansion into Australia with its flagship product, the Halo Tire Inflator®.
“We’re seeing a global systemic shift to evaluate best business practices to reduce carbon emissions, and having a global presence with Halo fulfills our promise to make a difference with our technology,” said Judith Monte, Vice President of Marketing & Client Success at Aperia Technologies.
Earlier this summer, the Australian government set a new goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 43 percent from 2005 levels by the end of the decade. One Australian company bringing this goal into action is AerOx, a fleet efficiency company focused on advancing fuel and maintenance efficiency in Australian fleets through innovative products that can be seamlessly integrated.
Through its partnership with Aperia Technologies, AerOx introduced the Halo Tire Inflator to Don Watson Transport & Coldstores, a quality local, regional, and interstate refrigerated distribution service with refrigerated distribution centers in Melbourne, Wodonga, Sydney, and Brisbane.
“We decided to deploy Halo in April, and we are quite pleased with the results,” said Lyndon Watson, CEO of Don Watson Transport & Coldstores. “One reason we chose Halo is its rigorous use on the road and ability to reduce operating costs. Based on our test results, we’ve decided to make Halo a standard spec for all future truck purchases.”
Having AerOx in place throughout the region helped cement Aperia Technologies’ commitment to expanding into Australia.
“The ability to train, deliver service parts, check in with clients and answer questions are all essential elements of our customers’ journeys with us, and we need those elements in place to enter into a new region,” continued Monte. “When we created Halo technology over a decade ago, our goal was to create autonomous technology to fill the gap in the global industry while ensuring a lasting environmental benefit. North American fleets have benefited from over 50 billion miles of driving with Halo. Expanding internationally brings us closer to that goal.”
Halo Tire Inflator is a revolutionary automatic tire inflation system for trucks and trailers that installs in minutes. Combined with the company’s predictive and prescriptive tire management platform, Halo Connect®, users virtually eliminate unplanned tire-related downtime.
