SmarTire Available from Bendix
 

Bendix CVS announced that its SmarTire Tire Pressure Monitoring System is now available to truck fleets through the network of Bendix OES and independent aftermarket partners across North America.

SmarTire monitors the pressure and temperature of each tire on a commercial vehicle to provide real-time tire status information to the driver or maintenance technician. Pressure and temperature information from inside the tire is communicated wirelessly to an on-board receiver, which forwards the information to an easy-to-read, multifunction, 2” display installed on the vehicle dash.

“The product is sold as a complete kit, giving the fleet/owner operator everything needed to easily, quickly, and economically retrofit the system on almost any commercial vehicle application,” said Fred Andersky, director of marketing-controls. “It’s easily retrofitted for almost any commercial vehicle, so fleets and owner operators alike can start improving ROI immediately. When you consider the savings in fuel, maintenance and tire wear, the system can pay for itself in as little as 8 months.” (SB)
