Michelin launches “Smart Predictive Tire” solution in the UK

Michelin Connected Fleet has rolled out its “Smart Predictive Tire” solution to fleets in the UK. Smart Predictive Tire monitors pressure and wear, combining information from the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), drive-over tread reading technology and telematics data, with predictive algorithms to provide fleets with key insights.
Ultimately, fleets using the technology can reportedly run their tyres for longer by accurately tracking the tread wear over time, confident that they are safe, legal and fuel efficient. Doing so will help them control their tyre costs by utilising every millimetre of usable rubber on the tyres within the fleet.
Smart Predictive Tire was piloted in Spain last year, and is already available in Portugal and France. Data from real world results comparing three-months of fleet use versus the three-month period prior, showed a reduction in tyre-related incidents of up to 80 per cent; a 10 per cent improvement in tyre life, and a 3 per cent reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Maxime Dupuy, UK sales director, Michelin Connected Fleet, commented: “Smart Predictive Tire is the first time we combine our know-how in connected fleet solutions, our expertise in tyres and services with our own technologies to bring added value to our customers. Michelin Connected Fleet helps improve operator’s performance, simplify maintenance, increase the uptime of assets and reduce their environmental impact.”
Smart Predictive Tire is part of Michelin Connected Fleet’s suite of services, which are designed to provide the tools and data fleet operators and managers need to perform their roles effectively. Michelin Connected Fleet was launched in the UK in 2022.
