90% of the vehicles on Britain’s roads have tyres which are not properly inflated, with an average under inflation of 10%. Poorly inflated tyres wear out up to 8% faster, and cause an increase in fuel consumption of 2% when compared to tyres inflated to the optimum pressure. WheelRight is a sensory pad which checks the pressure of a vehicle’s tyres as it drives over, letting the driver know if they are incorrectly inflated. Currently the most suitable application for the technology is to measure the tyre pressures of commercial lorry fleets. As the device is electronic, it can be linked to the internet to collect the data gathered. This way a manger can ensure he knows the condition of each truck every time it leaves, and check whether the driver has acted on any anomalies when the truck returns. Properly inflated tyres are not only safer, they also last longer and cut fuel consumption. If all the vehicles in the UK were operating with the correct tyre pressure there would be a saving of £500 million per annum in fuel costs, and approximately 500,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum.
