TPMS  |  Health & Safety  |  Optimum Vehicle Performance  |  Energy Efficiency

Nobody is immune to the increasing cost of fuel and yet….

• 20% reduction in tyre pressure can reduce tyre life by 50% and reduce fuel economy by 4% (source Michelin)
• If every vehicle in the USA had properly inflated tyres the US would save 4 million gallons of gasoline per DAY every day (source US dept of Transport)
• Maintaining proper tyre pressure is the most important tyre maintenance function. Cost per mile benefits will directly result from good tyre pressure control (source Goodyear)
• Fuel represents over 52% of rigs running costs and 30% of its total operating cost (source Motor Transport)

Given this amount of evidence it is hardly surprising that following on from the recent legislation in the USA, Norway has proposed (Nov 2005) to the European parliament the implementation of TPMS on certain commercial vehicles.
