Samsara Launches Electronic Brake Performance Monitoring System (EBPMS) to Help UK Fleets Meet New DVSA Guidelines
Samsara (NYSE: IOT) has launched its Electronic Brake Performance Monitoring System (EBPMS) as part of its Smart Trailer solution to help UK fleets comply with new DVSA guidelines effective April 2025. The system reduces the need for manual brake testing, potentially saving fleets up to £1,200 per trailer annually.
The company also introduced its Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which will become mandatory for new trailers in the EU from July 2024. The Smart Trailer solution includes features such as GPS tracking, geofencing, real-time alerts, and smart sensors for security breaches and ambient conditions monitoring.
Early adopters like Fox Brothers, with a fleet of over 80 lorries, and Conway Bailey Transport , have expressed interest in implementing Samsara's EBPMS for enhanced compliance and operational efficiency.

Insights
Samsara's launch of its Electronic Brake Performance Monitoring System (EBPMS) represents a strategically timed product innovation addressing upcoming regulatory requirements in the UK transportation sector. The DVSA guidelines effective April 2025 would normally require fleet operators to conduct four physical brake tests annually, creating operational disruptions and expenses. By continuously monitoring braking data, Samsara's solution could potentially reduce these requirements while offering
What's particularly compelling is how this fits into Samsara's broader Smart Trailer ecosystem alongside the new Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). This creates a comprehensive compliance solution ahead of regulatory deadlines—DVSA's April 2025 brake testing requirements and the EU's July 2024 TPMS mandate for new trailers. The company is effectively bundling multiple compliance needs into a single platform solution.
Customer testimonials from Fox Brothers and Conway Bailey Transport suggest market receptivity, highlighting the operational benefits of maintaining compliance without taking vehicles off the road. The "plug and play" nature referenced by Conway Bailey positions Samsara's offering as a simplification of what would otherwise require multiple separate systems.
This product expansion demonstrates Samsara's ability to identify and address regulatory-driven market opportunities while extending its Connected Operations Platform value proposition in the EMEA region. By solving specific compliance pain points, Samsara creates new entry points for its broader IoT ecosystem.
Samsara's EBPMS introduction addresses a significant operational challenge for UK fleet operators. The current approach of conducting four physical brake tests annually creates substantial downtime and operational interruptions. Each time a trailer requires testing, it's removed from service, creating logistical complications and revenue loss—particularly problematic for operators like Fox Brothers whose fleet works nationwide.
The claimed
The Smart Trailer solution's additional capabilities—GPS tracking, geofencing, unauthorized movement alerts, and ambient condition monitoring—address multiple operational pain points beyond just compliance. The "single pane of glass" management dashboard enables fleet utilization optimization by identifying underutilized assets.
For fleets already using Samsara's vehicle management systems, the Smart Trailer solution creates platform continuity rather than requiring separate systems for trailers versus powered vehicles. This unified approach simplifies training, support, and data integration while potentially improving fleet-wide visibility and operational intelligence.
What's particularly valuable is how this solution transforms a regulatory requirement from a pure cost center into an opportunity for operational improvements and cost savings, effectively paying for itself through reduced downtime and more efficient trailer management.

Samsara also unveils its Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) as part of wider Smart Trailers drive in EMEA
Under these guidelines, fleets are expected to carry out four laden brake performance assessments per year – conducted via roller brake tests (RBTs) – costing fleets time and money. However, by using a compliant EBPMS to demonstrate brake performance throughout the year, fleets could potentially reduce the need for multiple physical brake tests.
By continuously monitoring braking data, Samsara’s EBPMS – part of its new Smart Trailer solution – reduces the need for manual testing, helping fleets maintain compliance without unnecessary interruptions to operations.
"The introduction of EBPMS marks a major step forward for fleet safety and operational efficiency," said David Gal, Vice President of Product and Engineering at Samsara. "Our new system enables proactive maintenance, minimising costly failures and vehicle downtime.
“By leveraging real-time data from the trailer’s electronic braking systems (EBS) via our Asset Gateway, fleet operators can proactively address braking issues before they become problematic, and could save fleets up to
According to Fox Brothers – the
“We're keen to implement Samsara's new EBPMS solution across our trailer fleet to meet compliance requirements,” said Simon Colderley, Transport Manager, at Fox Brothers.
“Rather than taking trailers off the road for manual testing, being able to import performance data directly will make testing much easier – especially since our fleet operates nationwide,” he said.
Lee Wills, Director Conway Bailey Transport Ltd / RR Transport Ltd, added, "When the Samsara team promises something, they follow through. Samsara's EBPMS will provide a one-stop solution for our Trailer compliance needs. The 'plug and play' nature of
Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems
The new DVSA guidelines are part of a wider move toward technology-driven fleet management, with Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) also becoming mandatory for new trailers in the EU from July 2024. The
Samsara’s TPMS, another component of its Smart Trailer solution, which is in open beta, continuously monitors tyre pressure and temperature, sending real-time alerts to fleet managers and drivers. This enables proactive maintenance, reducing the risk of costly breakdowns and ensuring vehicles remain safe and efficient while on the road.
Samsara’s Smart Trailer Drive in EMEA
EBPMS and TPMS are part of Samsara’s Smart Trailer solution, designed to help fleets boost efficiency, reduce costs and improve safety. Key features include:
- GPS tracking with real-time visibility for both powered and unpowered trailers, enabling users to see trailer locations, movement history, and usage patterns 24/7.
- Geofencing allows users to set up virtual boundaries around key locations such as depots, yards, and customer sites which trigger alerts if they’re moved without authorisation.
- Real-time alerts notify managers in the event of unauthorised trailer tampering, door openings, unexpected movements out of hours, or breaches in temperature or humidity thresholds.
- Thanks to Samsara’s Connected Operation Platform, the Smart Trailer solution allows fleets to track their assets at scale across an entire trailer fleet.
- Smart sensors installed on trailers that can detect security breaches and changes in ambient conditions. They can also provide key vehicle indicators such as tyre pressure and the condition of brake pads.
- For fleet managers, the solution allows them to track their entire fleet via a single pane of glass, identifying underutilised trailers so they can make informed decisions about their trailer fleets.
