Tyre pressure monitoring company, TyrePal has launched its newest product, the Solar Colour - a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that helps improve safety and reduce fuel consumption in passenger vehicles. When using the Solar Colour, drivers can monitor the pressure of all four tyres simultaneously, with an option to monitor the spare wheel too.

Hitting London's roads in 1896 was the world’s first motorised commercial vehicle, with a top speed of seven miles per hour and a payload capacity of 1,500kg. As vehicles have become larger in size and weight, new regulations have been introduced to keep our roads safe. Here, Richard Moorse, Head of technical at tyre pressure monitoring company, TyrePal discusses the regulations that are in place for today’s commercial vehicle ty...

According to data collected by electronic health check provider, autoVHC, the average UK dealership failed to replace 66% of severely worn or faulty tyres in July 2017. Tyre condition is one of the most common causes of road accidents in the UK. Here, Peter Tillotson, Business Development Manager at tyre pressure monitoring specialist, TyrePal, discusses the importance of tyre safety when purchasing vehicles.

According to a recent report from the Department for Transport, heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic is 7.5% higher so far in 2017 than it was four years ago, making it the second fastest growing traffic type in this period. With more large vehicles on our roads, safety, efficiency and driving conditions need to be considered as a priority by fleet managers.

All new cars manufactured in Europe after the year 2014 are fitted with Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). In fact the technology has become part of the MOT test and can cause motorists to fail if they are faulty. However, TPMS is not new. The first passenger vehicle to adopt the technology was the Porche 959 in 1986, which used a hollow spoke wheel system.

There is so much excitement around technological advancements like infotainment systems, head-up displays and vehicle-to-vehicle communication that vehicle operators may be forgetting what is most important. So, before we get ahead of ourselves, we need to tackle the fundamentals of safe, efficient driving for all vehicle types.

Tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are now available to customers in the agricultural sector via a joint partnership between agriculture and groundcare specialist, Spaldings, and tyre pressure monitoring specialist, TyrePal. The TPMS can be attached to tractor or trailer tyres to help farmers increase safety, as well as reduce down-time and the risk of an expensive tyre blow out.

Towing a caravan properly and safely is extremely important, especially this summer when there will be a large number of caravans being towed on the road. TyrePal has partnered with one of the UK's leading touring caravan brands, Bailey of Bristol to promote the importance of safe towing. The caravan manufacturer will produce its latest ranges, the Unicorn and Pegasus, with TyrePal tyre pressure monitoring sensors fitted inside the wheels.

PG9s are roadworthiness prohibitions issued by UK police forces to tackle poor bus, coach and Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) maintenance. In 2013, a London HGV task force issued 1,565 PG9s and seized 41 vehicles in the capital city alone. An advocate of safe road use, tyre pressure monitoring specialist, TyrePal is calling for more awareness of PG9 regulations and the defects that could result in police seizing drivers' vehicles.

TyrePal announces its CANbus TMPS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) designed for use in buses, commercial vehicles and customised vehicles such as fire engines and ambulances. The device includes a module that can be connected to the vehicle's CANbus system, allowing tyre pressure sensors to interact with the other parts of the vehicle, such as on-board display, control systems and integrated telematics.

Tyre condition problems are the single biggest reason for breakdowns and accidents in commercial vehicles. Empowering fleet managers to take control of this issue, tyre pressure monitoring specialist TyrePal has launched its TeleTPMS system, a tool specifically designed for the remote monitoring of commercial vehicle tyre pressure.

Recent reports suggest that 40% of fatal accidents on the road can be attributed to wrongly-inflated tyres. To help address the issue, tyre pressure monitoring specialist TyrePal has launched its new range of tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) for commercial vehicles and buses. A TPMS monitors tyre pressure and temperature information and alerts drivers when a problem arises.

In 2014, tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) became a legal requirement for all new passenger vehicles manufactured in Europe. Maintaining the correct tyre inflation is important for both fuel efficiency and tyre performance, but this legislation is yet to be extended to commercial vehicles, caravans and trailers. Here, Peter Tillotson, business development manager of TyrePal, discusses the lack of TPMS regulation for alternative vehicles and...

TyrePal is launching a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to help OEM trailer builders and trailer fleet operators tackle the problem of tyre blowouts on HGV freight trailers. The TyrePal trailer TPMS indicator consists of TyrePal sensors on each tyre and a robust indicator that can be mounted inside or outside the trailer.

Tyre pressure monitoring specialist, TyrePal, has published an infographic explaining the repair, fuel and breakdown savings that can be made by using a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The infographic also features surprising statistics on the amount of fuel used as a result of mechanical friction and aerodynamic resistance. The asset can be downloaded, free of charge, from the blog section of TyrePal's website.

Tyre pressure monitoring specialist, TyrePal, will exhibit at this year's Commercial Vehicle Show, taking place between the 26th and April 28th, at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham. On stand 4K50, TyrePal will display two of its latest fleet monitoring products, the in-cab tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and the TeleTPMS.
