At SXSW, RueData Secures Seed Financing Led By Valor Ventures to Expand AI Fleet Optimization Solution
'By centralizing tire data and optimizing maintenance, we've improved operational efficiency, enhanced traceability, and reduced tire-related costs across Cemex's supply chain.' — Karla Arrambide, Leaplab Acceleration Program Manager for Cemex Ventures
AUSTIN, TN, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- RueData, a visionary AI-augmented platform that optimizes fleet utility, secured seed financing to accelerate its adoption by major fleets across North America. RueData uses a proprietary algorithm and process to save its fleet customers 30% on tire costs on average, while improving fuel economy, reliability, and safety. RueData has helped its clients reduce on-road flats and blowouts by up to 79%, a significant safety and cost concern for fleet operators. Although tires are the second-largest expense for fleets, they are often overlooked.
'We're proud to be a solution our customers can rely on, as their customers rely on them. Fleet management is a tough business, with so many moving parts and challenges. I'm grateful RueData is able to free leading fleet operations teams to show just how great they are,' says Sebastian Baquero, CEO and co-founder. 'We met Valor last year, and they immediately understood our global vision and how we can empower the people who power the economy, today's fleet operations professionals.'
'Sebastian and his team stood out right from the start with their dedication to customer success. By centralizing tire data and optimizing maintenance, we've improved operational efficiency, enhanced traceability, and reduced tire-related costs across Cemex's supply chain,' says Karla Arrambide, Leaplab Acceleration Program Manager for Cemex Ventures, the venture arm of the concrete transportation company that operates in 50 countries with revenues north of $17B. 'Cemex became an early customer, and we are rolling out the platform across several of its operations'. Additional early customers include arms of the Pepsi Bottling Company, CocaCola Company, JBS, and Heineken.
'It's rare to find a blue ocean opportunity like this,' says Lisa Calhoun, managing partner at Valor Ventures who joins the board. 'Sebastian, Jorge, and the entire team are focused on providing transparency and operational efficiency right where 'the rubber meets the road,' a previously un-optimized and incredibly expensive component of fleet operations. I'm extremely proud of the incredible customers they serve today in 8 countries and the incredible relationships they'll be able to scale thanks to this seed round.' Decelera Ventures and Pittsburgh Angels also participated in the round.
Sebastian Baquero is speaking on RueData and its work transforming fleets into more efficient, safe operations through software at SXSW on the 8th of March at 2 pm at the Tennessee House in Electric Shuffle Austin, 91 Red River St STE 102.

By GlobeNewswire Published on August 18, 2025, 18:23 IST Marks Continued Growth in SaverOne's Global Footprint and Further Expansion Within Cemex's Operations Petah Tikvah, Israel, Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE, TASE: SVRE), a technology company specializing in developing transportation safety solutions, today announced it has signed a new agreement with another division of Cemex in Europe. Under the new agreement, SaverOne will deploy its Driver Distraction Prevention System (DDPS) across Cemex's fleet in this country. This new engagement builds on the successful rollout of SaverOne's Safety solution to prevent driver distraction in global markets, and in particular adding another one of Cemex's global operations to its expanding customer roster. Mr. Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, stated, 'We are pleased to further expand our collaboration with Cemex into an additional country, marking another step in our strategic global expansion. It is also a strong vote of confidence in our proven DDPS solution by this key customer with significant experience with our solution in other regions. SaverOne remains committed to supporting Cemex's safety culture and look forward to further deployments across the Cemex global fleet.'

Cemex is at the forefront of the circular economy in the construction value chain and is pioneering ways to increase the use of waste and residues as alternative raw materials and fuels in its operations with the use of new technologies.

For more information please visit: About the SaverOne System SaverOne's system is installed in vehicles to solve the problem of driver distraction as a result of drivers using distracting applications on their mobile phones while driving in a way that endangers their safety and the safety of their passengers. This phenomenon is considered one of the leading causes of global road accidents. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the annual cost of road accidents just in the United States stands at about $870 billion each year, excluding the costs of serious injury or death, with a quarter of those accidents estimated to be related to the use of the mobile phones while driving. SaverOne's technology specifically recognizes the driver area in the vehicle. It prevents the driver from accessing distracting applications such as messaging while allowing others (navigation as an example) without user intervention or consent, creating a safer driving environment. SaverOne's primary target markets include commercial and private vehicle fleets interested in reducing potential damages and significant costs, vehicle manufacturers interested in integrating safety solutions into their vehicles, and insurance and leasing companies. SaverOne initially addresses car fleets with a focus on the Israeli, European, and US markets and other markets worldwide. SaverOne believes that an increased focus on monitoring and prevention of cellular distraction systems in vehicles, driven by upcoming expected EU regulation, will likely have a dramatic positive impact on the demand for its systems in the future. The Company's strategy is to provide its technology to customers in the aftermarket and address OEM vehicle manufacturers to integrate the Company's protection technologies during the vehicle manufacturing process. About SaverOne SaverOne is a technology company that designs, develops, and commercializes OEM and aftermarket solutions and technologies to lower the risk of and prevent vehicle accidents. SaverOne's initial product line is a suite of solutions that saves lives by preventing car accidents resulting from distraction from using mobile phones while driving. SaverOne is also developing a sensor system for early location and direction detection under all visibility conditions of vulnerable road users (VRU) through their cellphone footprint.
