Commercial vehicle tyre management system supplier TyreWatch will unveil two new products at this year’s ITTHub transport show.

The system will be rolled out in the UK in September 2021. Also due to be launched at the ITTHub show is a new version of the widely used TyreWatch VanSmart tyre monitoring system which, says the company, will improve safety and reduce running costs for light commercial vehicle operators.
