Continental Launches ContiPressureCheck Truck TPMS

After a year of fleet testing throughout North America, Continental Tire the Americas LLC is ready to launch its ContiPressureCheck system, a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) designed for commercial trucks, tractors, and trailers.  


Instead of mounting the TPMS sensor inside the wheel of a commercial vehicle, the ContiPressureCheck system mounts the sensors inside the tires to provide even more accurate temperature and pressure readings. 

Like a traditional direct TPM system, temperature and pressure readings are relayed to the TPMS receiver unit and alerts and warnings are then displayed inside the driver cabin. 

Clif Armstrong, director of marketing for truck tires for Continental Tires the Americas LLC says, "The ContiPressureCheck system saves drivers and fleets both time and money, by alerting the driver of sudden inflation deviations as well as slow air losses to the tire. By correcting these issues before the tire requires replacement, fleets and drivers can prevent vehicle downtime, extend the tread life of their tires and protect their valuable casing investment."

He also adds, "So from a maintenance and fuel saving perspective, the investment in ContiPressureCheck reduces overall driving costs." 

Here's a summary of why proper tire inflation can be such a huge time and money saver for fleets across the nation:
  • Reduces a tire's rolling resistance
  • Reduces fuel consumption due 
  • Decreases stopping distance 
  • Improves vehicle control 
  • Extends tread life of tires 
  • Can prevents or reduce vehicle downtime
The ContiPressureCheck system is available as an aftermarket solution only. Please contact us for ordering information at [email protected]
