- In July 2023, Huf Hülsbeck & Fürst GmbH & Co. KG, a German automotive supplier, introduced a direct TPMS sensor for commercial vehicles in Europe. The sensor offers a 20% longer battery life, lasting 8-10 years, reducing maintenance costs for fleet operators. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures and vibrations, it ensures reliable performance. Huf partnered with MAN and Scania to integrate the sensor into their fleets, aiming for a 15% share of the European commercial TPMS market by 2026.
- In October 2023, Continental AG launched a Bluetooth-enabled direct TPMS for European fleet operators. The system integrates real-time tire pressure and temperature data with mobile apps and Continental’s ContiConnect platform, enabling remote monitoring and predictive maintenance. Pilots with a European logistics provider showed a 12% reduction in tire maintenance costs. Continental plans to expand the solution to passenger vehicles by mid-2025
- In January 2024, Denso Corporation released a lightweight, cost-efficient indirect TPMS for two-wheelers in India, cutting costs by 10% compared to direct systems. Using wheel speed sensors, it enhances fuel efficiency and complies with AIS-140 standards. Denso collaborated with Hero MotoCorp and TVS Motor for integration into models like Hero Xpulse, targeting 20% of India’s two-wheeler TPMS market by 2027.
- In February 2024, Schrader International introduced a cloud-based TPMS analytics platform for U.S. commercial fleets. It uses real-time sensor data for predictive maintenance, achieving a 15% efficiency improvement in pilot tests, saving $500,000 annually for a 1,000-vehicle fleet. The platform integrates with fleet software and will expand to North America and Asia-Pacific by 2026.
- In April 2024, Sensata Technologies partnered with Geely to supply direct TPMS for EVs like Geometry C in Asia-Pacific. The low-power, high-precision sensors optimize tire pressure for better range and safety, integrating with Geely’s connected platform.
