Tire Pressure Monitoring System
by Bendix CVS
The SmartTire Pressure Monitoring System can pay for itself in just
eight months. From then on, you’re saving big. Because keeping your
fleet’s tires properly pressurized and maintained keeps your trucks
moving, lowers upkeep costs, and may help reduce accidents.
SmarTire: An easy way to save money.
Over the course of a year, a 20% under-inflated tire on just one vehicle will
cost your operation:
• 2% lower fuel mileage
• 30% shorter tire life
• 25% shorter tread life
Nearly 90% of all tire failures are from under-inflation
Average cost of a single tire failure: $800
Tires: Your fleet’s # 1 maintenance expense.
• Early warnings of pressure loss and/or rising temperatures
• Installation, set-up and configuration in about two hours
• All components tested for the harshest conditions

How SmarTire by Bendix CVS Works
On the tractor/truck:
The SmarTire system uses wheel-mounted sensors in the tires, plus a
wireless receiver to read and send both tire pressure and temperature
information to an in-cab dash display. The system will alert the driver
when the tire pressure gets too low, or the temperature gets too high.

On the trailer:
Wheel-mounted sensors in the tires – along with another wireless
receiver on the trailer – read what’s happening and provide a lighted
indication on a trailer-mounted lamp that your driver can check in
their side mirror. Coming soon: Trailer tire pressure and temperature
information and alerts displayed in the tractor.
