SMARTIRE® TPMS BY BENDIX CVS FOR TRACTORS SMARTIRE® TRAILER-LINK TPMS FOR TRAILERS

Not taking care of your fleet’s tires will cost you plenty – from higher operating costs and increased downtime, to customer dissatisfaction, and even potential accidents.

The SmarTire® Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) by Bendix CVS helps your drivers and technicians keep up-to-date on potentially dangerous tire conditions. Tire inflation issues can be handled promptly in the yard, or by the driver, before they become a problem on the road.

Tire Pressure Management – Accurate Alerts Are Imperative

Did you know that just a couple of hours into your route, the temperature of your tires can increase 20% or more? The SmarTire TPMS system adjusts alerts based on the current tire conditons displayed on the SmarTire gauge notifies the driver which tire is low and how much pressure to add. That’s because the system’s sensors are in the pressure vessel of the tire, allowing them to accurately measure tire temperature and pressure and make adjustments accordingly ... a requirement for an effective daily tire pressure management program.

The wheel-mounted SmarTire sensors wirelessly transmit data to the receiver which, in turn, analyzes the information to determine if an alert is necessary. Through an in-cab display, or integrated vehicle cluster, the SmarTire system reports both tire pressure and temperature information, instantly warning of tire-related problems, including alerts for low and high tire pressure, extreme low tire pressure, and extreme high temperature, before they pose a safety hazard. Real-time protection.

For your maintenance team back at the shop, data is available from the in-cab dash display, on the vehicle network from your telematics provider, or via a hand-held reader that makes it easy for them to check the tires on your trucks and trailers in the yard.

SmarTire® TPMS for tractors helps your drivers and technicians keep up-to-date on potentially dangerous tire conditions.
