Krone partners with Platform Science to launch integrated telematics in Europe
By Luke Willetts - 5th July 2025
Germany / USA – Earlier this year, Platform Science Inc of San Diego, California announced a partnership with Krone Commercial Vehicles SE (a subsidiary of Bernard Krone Holding GmbH & Co KG) of Werlte to introduce a unified trailer telematics solution for European fleets. Announced at Transport Logistic 2025 in Munich, “the collaboration aims to streamline operations by merging data from tractors and trailers into a single, manufacturer-agnostic platform.”
For Krone customers, this means trailers arrive telematics-ready, with data automatically synced to existing transport management systems, no extra hardware or contracts required. The solution, according to Krone, cuts admin workload, reduces costs, and improves visibility for mixed fleets. Older trailers can also be retrofitted. As demand for smarter logistics grows, this partnership strengthens Krone’s digital offering and adds real value for the commercial vehicle sector.
