Do you want to keep the costs of your fleet under control and at the same time ensure that your trucks are always safe on the road? Then you’re ready for Continental’s latest innovation: automated tread depth measurement for commercial vehicle tires!

This smart technology provides you with precise and up-to-date data on the condition of your tires – without any additional effort. Manual measurement? Forget it! The sensors continuously check the tread depth. Supported by an AI this is used to create a prediction for the next tire change. So you can plan your maintenance optimally. The new tread depth measurement and tire service planning complement Continental’s existing ContiConnect solution offering. This already includes data on tire pressure, tire temperature and mileage.

Your benefits at a glance:

• daily updated tread data
• optimized maintenance planning
• increased safety
• lower costs
• more sustainability
• fewer manual checks

“Changing tires too early leads to unnecessary wear and higher costs,” explains Clarisa Doval, Head of Digital Tire Solutions at Continental. “Changing them too late, on the other hand, reduces safety and increases fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.” With our automatic tread depth measurement, the first on the market, both are a thing of the past. This not only prevents breakdowns, but also ensures that your fleet runs more efficiently.

By combining tread depth measurement with artificial intelligence, you can act with foresight in the long term. This allows you to combine tire maintenance with other services such as inspections. This avoids expensive downtimes. “We are setting new standards with our tread depth measurement solution,” emphasizes Doval. “With it, we offer our fleet customers an innovative technology that takes the efficiency and predictability of tire services to a brand new level.”

How to use the full potential of your tires

With tread depth measurement and the other ContiConnect solutions, you have a powerful tool at your fingertips that will help you significantly reduce your fleet’s operating costs. Although tires only account for around two percent of total costs, they influence fuel consumption, maintenance and repairs – and these are responsible for up to 50 percent of your operating costs. This is where we come in by ensuring that you always make the most of your tires’ potential.
