Goodyear’s solution saves big euros on off-highway tyre costs

Goodyear has staged the European launch of its new data-based solution which enables precise, real-time monitoring of tyres. TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) Heavy Duty will, in combination with Goodyear premium tyres and services, help OTR fleets optimise tyre performance, reduce downtime and improve total cost of ownership.

5010 Goodyear has staged the European launch of its new data-based solution which enables precise, real-time monitoring of tyres.


TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) Heavy Duty will, in combination with Goodyear premium tyres and services, help OTR fleets optimise tyre performance, reduce downtime and improve total cost of ownership.

The prevention of tyre-related incidents through the use of TPMS Heavy Duty reduces breakdown costs and is said by Goodyear to increase dump truck, wheeled loader and mobile crane working hours by up to 15%, due to tyres having the right pressure at all times.

The TPMS Heavy Duty solution works via sensors, which measure both tyre pressure and temperature, fitted to each tyre. Signals from each of these sensors are received by an on-board router, which continuously sends this information to the Goodyear server via the mobile network. This data is then analysed using Goodyear algorithms featuring G-Predict technology developed by in-house experts. The server sends daily reports by email to the fleet manager.

In the event of a potential issue, alerts are sent from the server to the fleet manager via email and/or by an app in real time using a graphic showing which tyre is affected and how serious the problem is.

The on-board router in the system has a built-in GPS Track & Trace function. This function can identify a machine so that it can be pin-pointed on a site or located if stolen.

Later this year Goodyear will launch an additional app for drivers, so they can also be alerted to any tyre issue in real time.

A batching unit has a material yield of 3.5m³ with double mixing screws. Mixing and discharge speed is independent from the speed of the diesel engine, and discharge is by reversing drum. A joymix-controlled 600litre loader with a hydraulic door discharges sand or gravel directly into the drum. The unit can travel on slopes greater th

    The world’s best road infrastructure project can also have the world’s worst traffic noise problem. But where to start defeating this noise pollution? Road traffic noise is one of the most obvious aspects affecting the quality of life in urban areas. To combat this, local, national and international authorities have developed initiatives to avoid, prevent or reduce exposure to noise. One of these initiatives – Life DYNAMAP – is underway by a group of researchers in Germany, Spain and Italy. The project is f
