Goodyear launches TPMS Connect for seamless integration with TPMS hardware installed as original equipment.

Goodyear presents Goodyear TPMS Connect, an innovative solution created to address the challenges faced by fleet operators using pre-installed tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). The new offering allows fleets equipped with OEM TPMS on their new vehicles to utilize Goodyear's solutions and apps to enhance fleet efficiency without the need to install new hardware.

Helps fleets comply with EU regulations for TPMS

The launch of Goodyear TPMS Connect comes at the right time. The system complies with the EU's latest regulations for TPMS, which require all new motor vehicles, including trucks, trailers, and vans, to be equipped with TPMS that accurately measures and transmits tire pressure information to the driver.

Many fleets are equipped with standard TPMS from original equipment manufacturers (OEM), and these systems can limit the visibility of notifications so that only drivers see them. This can potentially complicate the work for fleet coordinators and limit their ability to quickly address tire issues, potentially leading to costly downtime and maintenance. Goodyear TPMS Connect addresses these shortcomings by providing a seamless plug-and-play solution that integrates with existing TPMS hardware for telematics. Goodyear's solution can utilize existing TPMS hardware and enhance it by providing comprehensive data access and intelligent fleet management features.

Key benefits of Goodyear TPMS Connect:

• Seamless integration: Easily connects to existing TPMS hardware for telematics, eliminating the need for additional hardware or SIM cards.
• Quick onboarding: Rapid onboarding of vehicles over the air (OTA) without the need to take vehicles out of service for installations. The solution connects to Goodyear Cloud within 24 hours.
• Better data access: Provides fleet operators with predictive and preventive alerts so they can make data-driven decisions.
• Comprehensive visibility: Offers GPS tracking and geofencing for efficient and location-based service.
• Intelligent analytics: Uses advanced algorithms to analyze TPMS data and provide actionable insights for proactive monitoring and maintenance.

Goodyear's engineers have designed a suite of algorithms called G-Predict technology. They can identify potential tire issues before they escalate, allowing the vehicle to remain in service longer and minimizing downtime.

“We are excited to introduce Goodyear TPMS Connect – a solution that provides fleet operators with insights and control over their entire tire management,” said Piotr Czyżyk, Managing Director, Fleet Mobility EMEA at Goodyear. “The innovative technology enhances the efficiency and safety of fleet operations, reflecting our commitment to driving intelligent mobility into the future. We look forward to expanding its availability and helping more fleets achieve optimal performance.”

Goodyear TPMS Connect is currently available with selected new trailers from original equipment manufacturers, meaning those who purchase new equipment can experience the benefits of improved tire management and fleet optimization. Goodyear understands that different fleets have different needs, and is working to make the innovative solution available for more vehicles in the near future so that more fleets can leverage the advanced features to achieve better performance and efficiency.

Goodyear is showcasing TPMS Connect at  IAA Transportation where visitors can see for themselves how the advanced solution can transform fleet operations. Experts from Goodyear will be on hand to demonstrate the seamless integration features and discuss the benefits of proactive tire management.
