Tyre manufacturer Continental has launched ContiConnect, a tyre information and management system for commercial fleets. ContiConnect monitors, analyses and reports tyre pressure and temperature for the entire fleet based on data collected by the proven ContiPressureCheck sensors.

ContiConnect notifies the fleet manager and offers corrective measures if needed, for example through a Conti360 service partner. An online portal provides transparent reports on the fleet’s tyre performance and overall efficiency.

ContiConnect works with both retrofitted and factory-fitted ContiPressureCheck sensors and can work in multiple set-ups to connect all tyres in a fleet, both vehicles that are on the road, as well as to those returning to base. The system can collect data from a stationary receiver in a depot, or from a receiver unit in every vehicle on the road in real-time and sends an alert in the event of a service requirement.

The ContiPressureCheck system, which provides input to ContiConnect, is compatible with a wide variety of fleet management systems on the market, including solutions which come from different original equipment as well as aftermarket manufacturers.

    German manufacturer Continental says its Ultrasonic Height and Pressure Sensor (UHPS) can adjust the height of commercial vehicles electronically to improve the efficiency of urban buses. The company says UHPS allows drivers to control the air springs when lowering one side of the bus at bus stops - rather than having to let the air out from the spring completely. UHPS uses ultrasound to measure the height and pressure in the air spring and sends the value of the electronic control unit, which automatic
