Monitoring tire pressure is a crucial aspect of ensuring road safety, reducing fuel consumption, and extending tire lifespan. TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) allows real-time tracking of tire pressure and temperature, alerting drivers and dispatchers to critical changes.
Why Is Tire Pressure Monitoring Important?
Studies show that improper tire pressure can lead to serious consequences:
📌 Increased tire wear – underinflation can reduce tire lifespan by up to 45%.
📌 Higher fuel consumption – a 20% pressure drop increases fuel consumption by 7%.
📌 High accident risk – uneven tire pressure between the tractor and trailer can lead to vehicle instability.
📌 Lower repair costs – early detection of pressure leaks prevents damage to the tire casing and rims.
📌 Reduced vehicle downtime – early problem detection helps avoid unplanned roadside stops.
The tire pressure monitoring system is not just a convenience but a necessity for any fleet. It reduces operating costs, improves road safety, and prevents expensive repairs. In Europe, such systems are mandatory and justified both economically and in terms of safety.
Invest in the reliability and efficiency of your transport – install a TPMS system and stay in control of your tires at all times! 🚛✅
