Aperia Technologies Inc. introduced the Pro+ program, designed to make it easier for fleets to secure technology to support their businesses amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As a company that cares deeply about the success of our fleet customers and industry as a whole, and understands the vital role the trucking industry plays in delivering essential services and goods across the United States, our number one priority is to help them succeed during these challenging times,” said Josh Carter, CEO of Aperia Technologies.
A risk-free program with no upfront payments required, according to the company, Pro+ allows fleets to benefit from all the advantages of Halo Connect without the upfront cash outlay and includes a perpetual warranty for added peace-of-mind. The program can be canceled at any time after 12 months of service, and automatically waives monthly fees when a vehicle is not being used.
With roadside breakdowns occurring every 10,000 miles, according to a recent American Trucking Association benchmarking report, optimally inflated tires are key in keeping trucks on the road and delivering vital goods and services.
“Since the cost of delaying Halo Connect deployments is substantial for fleet operations, Pro+ allows fleets a risk-free way of starting and continuing to invest in their tire management program,” Carter said.
Halo is an automatic tire inflation system that keeps truck tires from falling below the optimal tire pressure range. Introduced in 2019, Halo Connect is a connectivity platform that enables fleets to virtually eliminate unplanned downtime through predictive analytics.
Pro+ represents another solution developed by Aperia Technologies to assist fleets during these unprecedented times. In April, the company introduced a virtual training and support platform to meet the needs of professional trucking fleets and independent operators when in-person training and support is not possible.
