Data improves efficiency and safety
The system not only saves energy but also prevents excess wear on the tyres. For a typical mileage of 120,000 km/year and an average pressure deviation of 10 per cent, this can prevent the emission of 655 kg of CO2 per vehicle in a year. Installing the AirSave solution reduces the costs for fuel and materials by EUR 700 for a three-axle trailer. It also reduces the risk of downtime and accidents. The drivers save time – and there are fewer pieces of burst tyre left on motorways, which have to be handled as hazardous waste.
