Joseph Saoud to present the role of commercial truck tires in shaping mobility for tomorrow

Bridgestone Americas (Bridgestone) today announced that Joseph Saoud, president, truck, bus and retread tires, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, will speak at the 34th annual Clemson University Global Tire Industry Conference on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, on Friday, April 20. Saoud will speak as part of a panel session titled, “Innovation, Efficiency and Sustainability.”

Saoud’s presentation will focus on how emerging trends such as electrification, autonomy and connectivity are shaping the future of transportation. He will discuss these trends in the context of the commercial trucking industry and examine the important role tires will play in advancing smart, efficient and sustainable mobility.

“As mobility becomes more connected, tires will be a critical source for information to ensure fleet performance,” said Saoud. “It is hence important for tire manufacturers to think of dynamic and holistic tire solutions that can deliver major efficiencies for the trucking industry in the future.”
