TYRE SENSOR

LAUNCHED

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE tyre provider

Bridgestone has launched a new ‘gate-

based’ Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) at the 2019 Brisbane Truck Show,

designed to enhance and strengthen

its Total Tyre Management model, it’s

announced.

Bridgestone’s new gate TMPS

technology is being introduced to the

Australian and New Zealand market,

offering return-to-depot applications,

such as metro delivery, refuse,

construction and bus fleets, more

regular and efficient pressure checks

• thus reducing the risk of tyre-related
  breakdowns, it states.
  The installation of the gate TPMS
  allows operators to automatically check
  tyre pressure when a vehicle enters or
  leaves the yard, increasing the number
  of checks, providing more frequent and
  up-to-date data.
  The gate technology uses an external
  sensor mounted on each wheel
  position’s valve, each with a unique
  identifier to measure tyre pressure
  and temperature.
  According to Bridgestone Australia
  & New Zealand managing director
  Stephen Roche, the launch of the gate
  TPMS technology demonstrates how

Bridgestone is committed to providing

business solutions that complement our

strong product line-up.

“The introduction of Bridgestone’s gate

technology is a major advancement for

the industry and will allow us to bolster

our fleet offerings. The technology is

designed to alert fleet operators of

potential issues before they become

a problem, and streamlines what was

previously a manual task in the yard,”

Roche said.

Above: “Operators will be able to ensure their

vehicles are at the correct pressure when they

leave the depot.”
