Continental expands tire monitoring options

Continental Tire the Americas has introduced two new iterations of its ContiConnect truck tire management tool.

“Continental has structured its ContiConnect digital tire management into two clearly structured solutions,” the company said. “The aim is to provide even better support for fleet customers."

ContiConnect Lite is the company's entry-level offering, which is based on a mobile app. Customers can use this tool to gain an impression of the functionalities of the tire management system quickly.

This data-supported tire monitoring is available with almost no installation effort. The data from the tire sensors, such as air pressure and tire temperature, is transmitted via Bluetooth to the ContiConnect app on a smartphone. The driver can then, for example, check the condition of the tires before setting off.

ContiConnect Pro is a more complete solution for digital tire management and predictive services, and offers a comprehensive overview of the tire condition of the fleet, including warnings, and displays the data in a web portal and app.  

“In addition to the precise data from the tire sensors, customers benefit from services such as automated warnings and recommendations on pressure, temperature and due dates for necessary tire services and changes,” say Continental officials.  

This enables predictive maintenance for the vehicles and fundamentally optimizes tire management. ContiConnect Pro also provides information on the location and status of all vehicles.

Both are available in the United States.
