There’s no better way to learn than by using your own hands, which is something that Webfleet thought of when setting up its Brisbane Show display.
Providing a space for existing and potential customers to sit down and try its products in real-life, its hands-on stand was a winner among attendees.

“We are demonstrating our AI-driven safety and technology devices – CAM150, Webfleet’s advanced vehicle reporting, including EV range, route planning and electrification analysis and Optidrive, our driver safety, recording and fleet management capabilities,” Bridgestone’s ANZ marketing manager for Webfleet Scott Elkington told ABC.
“The reception has been great so far, we have had a steady stream of people filtering in and out of the stand checking things out.”
Outside of the opportunity to demonstrate its new and exciting technologies, Webfleet prioritised using its time to encourage conversations about safety in the bus and coach sector.
Safety on the road is always a key talking point in the heavy vehicle industry, whether that be for drivers, passengers, operators or anyone in between.
“Our key outcome for this event is to let customers know that our main priority is safety,” Elkington says.
“Whether it’s passenger safety, customer safety, driver safety and also other road users, we want to ensure we are doing everything possible to improve conditions on the road.
“Technology has come a long way to help improve the safe operation of vehicles. We are happy to say we are focused on solutions specific to safety.”
With this mindset, Elkington says Webfleet already has big plans in store for the next Show.
“By the time the next Show rolls around, the AI Assistant for our software would have already gone live,” he says.
“We just missed getting it out in time for this year’s event, but we are looking forward to the next one.”
