Schrader TPMS Solutions is preparing for a future with tire pressure monitoring systems for commercial applications.
Mariam Lochoshvili, senior marketing communications manager, says Europe introduced TPMS requirements for commercial trucks manufactured in the European Union in 2024.
“In the last couple of years we’ve seen growing interest in truck TPMS,” Lochoshvili says. And as a result, the company has responded with commercial TPMS sensors for Scania, Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks and Prevost and Volvo buses.
Schrader is also developing a training program for truck TPMS.
The new year also will bring the AirCheck BLE retrofit kit, which is designed for use on towable trainers, recreational trailers, motorhomes and even passenger cars that weren’t originally outfitted with TPMS capabilities. The BLE is Bluetooth Low Energy technology, and it helps the kit communicate tire pressure, temperature and even TPMS sensor battery status using a mobile app. Lochoshvili says the app is expected to be available in January.
Schrader is using the same BLE technology in a line of replacement TPMS sensors for electric vehicles.
