Continental Tire the Americas LLC 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,” say company officials. “The aim is to provide even better support for fleet customers.
“The entry-level solution is ContiConnect Lite, which is based on a mobile app. With this, the customers can gain an impression of the functionalities of the tire management system quickly.
“With almost no installation effort, they benefit from the many advantages of data-supported tire monitoring. The data from the tire sensors, such as air pressure and tire temperature, is transmitted via Bluetooth to the ContiConnect app on the smartphone. The driver can then, for example, check the condition of the tires before setting off.
“ContiConnect Pro, in contrast, is a complete solution for digital tire management and predictive services. It offers a comprehensive overview of the tire condition of the fleet, including warnings, and displays the data in a web portal and an 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 and thus improves the processes within a fleet.”
Both are available in the United States.
