Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems
Bridgestone TPMS helps maintain consistent tyre pressures across commercial fleets, reducing running costs and lowering the likelihood of unplanned downtime. The system uses Bridgestone Tirematics technology to capture tyre pressure data during driver walkaround checks. When a reading falls outside a preset range, the driver receives an alert and fleet managers receive an email notification so issues can be addressed promptly.
This early-warning approach supports safer operation, helps extend tyre life and reduces avoidable roadside failures.
Operational cost benefits
A typical tractor and trailer operating at the correct pressures can save, on average:
- €500 a year in fuel consumption
- €200 a year in tyre costs
- €800 over two years in breakdown costs
Indicative pricing from Bridgestone Fleetcare starts at €329 for tractor units and €199 for trailers.
The benefits of FleetPulse TPMS
- Compact TPMS sensors designed for each tyre position
- Expected three-year battery life under daily use
- Compatible with all major commercial tyre brands
- Integrated into standard driver walkarounds with minimal disruption
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bridgestone TPMS record tyre pressure?
Sensors fitted to each wheel position transmit pressure data to the FleetPulse platform. Readings are captured during daily walkarounds and during operation, allowing early identification of pressure loss or abnormal trends.
Does the system work with mixed tyre brands?
Yes. Bridgestone TPMS is designed to work with all commercial tyre brands, making it suitable for mixed fleets or those in transition between brands.
What happens when pressure readings fall outside the safe range?
Drivers receive an immediate alert and fleet managers receive an email notification. This allows corrective action before an under-inflated or over-inflated tyre leads to unnecessary wear, reduced fuel efficiency or a potential breakdown.
Is additional training required for drivers?
No specialist training is normally required. The process fits into existing walkarounds and the system provides clear prompts where follow-up is needed.
