MCI PRO SUPPORTSM HERE'S HOW TO KEEP YOUR FLEET IN PEAK CONDITION

Add SmarTire® active tire pressure monitoring technology to your fleet

Improve fuel economy and extend tire life with properly inflated tires. Small, wireless sensors mounted inside your tires continuously monitor pressure and temperature in order to provide real-time tire information to a dash mounted display when you need it most — on the road.

Features:

  • Provides early warning of pressure loss before tire is damaged
  • Temperature compensation provides highly accurate pressure deviation readings
  • Simple installation, setup and configuration
  • Robust, weatherproof components tested and proven in the harshest environmental conditions
  • Interfaces with standard diagnostic tools and on-board communications protocols (J1939 Interface)
  • Can be installed at any point in the vehicle's life

SmarTire® is an active tire pressure and temperature monitoring system designed to simplify and automate a fleet's tire maintenance process, resulting in an overall reduction of fleet operating costs.

Installing a SmarTire® tire pressure monitoring system on your coach can help to:

  • Improve Vehicle, Passenger, & Driver Safety
    With SmarTire® tire pressure monitoring systems monitor both tire temperature and tire pressure in order to reduce the risk of blow-outs and fires.
  • Improve Tread Life
    With as little as 20% under-inflation, tire tread life is reduced by 25%. When tires are maintained at an accurate inflation value, their tread will last longer.
  • Reduce Maintenance Costs & Downtime
    Statistics show that 90% of all tire failures are a result of under-inflation and almost 50% of all fleet emergency road-side assistance calls are attributed to tires. Accurate and consistent tire inflation can significantly reduce vehicle downtime and overall fleet maintenance costs.
  • Improve Fuel Economy
    Tires operated at 20% under-inflation will reduce a vehicle's fuel mileage by 2%. Considering that 56% of all commercial vehicle tires are under-inflated and that the combined mileage of a bus fleet is millions of miles per year, a 2% fuel savings represents a significant cost savings to any fleet's bottom line.
  • Improve Dual Wheel Assembly Performance
    When one tire of a dual wheel assembly has a lower inflation pressure than the other, its circumference is smaller than the tire next to it resulting in improper axle weight distribution and wheel drag. This condition rapidly generates heat that destroys the tire's integrity and creates the environment for catastrophic tire failures. Proper dual wheel inflation will result in better tire life and a safer trip for the driver, passengers, and vehicle.
