BAT RF addresses one of the trucking industries’ primary problems: Tire Pressure.
Research conducted by TMC (Tire Maintenance Council) indicate that tire pressure and fuel economy are major issues for trucking fleets and that there is a tremendous need to maximize:
- Fuel efficiency
- Tire life
- Preventative maintenance
- Asset utilization
Tire pressure is known to have a major impact on all measures of efficiency. According to TMC:
- Properly inflated tires are a critical element to maximizing fuel efficiency and tire life
- Tire pressure variation impact to fuel economy ranges from .5% to 3%
- Correct tire inflation could result in savings of $2 billion for the entire trucking industry
Most operators realize that tire pressure is important but few realize the actual scope of the problem.
- 56% of tires are 5 psi off target pressure
- 22% of dual sets are mismatched 5 psi or more
- 22% of vehicles have one tire under-inflated by 20 psi or more
- 41% of fleets surveyed report tire problems picking up spotted trailers
