Sponsored: Continental Tyres Technical Q&A: Tyre pressure monitoring
What are the benefits of correct tyre inflation / tyre pressure monitoring systems for truck operators? Underinflation of tyres significantly affects rolling resistance, increasing both fuel consumption and carbon emissions, as well as intensifying tyre wear and even reducing a tyre’s service life – all of which adversely affect operating costs. The use of tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), such as ContiConnect™ Solutions, minimises these issues, by ensuring that each tyre is operating at the correct pressure and temperature. Such systems work best when a sensor is placed within...
