A fleet manager notices a semi-trailer running low on tyre pressure before the driver does – that is tyre condition monitoring in practice. These systems continuously track pressure, temperature, and tread depth across every vehicle in a fleet, triggering alerts whenever readings move outside safe parameters. Technically, they rely on TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) sensors or IoT devices fitted to wheels or rims, feeding data in real time to fleet management software or a TMS. Under-inflated tyres raise fuel consumption noticeably and wear faster; excessive heat buildup can cause blowouts with serious safety consequences. Predictive maintenance scheduling based on live sensor data reduces unplanned downtime and extends tyre service life, making condition monitoring a measurable cost-saving tool in road freight operations.
