Goodyear has equipped Priva’s fleet of vehicles with what it refers to as intelligent tyres, which contain sensors to capture data. The sensors allow Goodyear to gather data on the tyres’ current state and work with Priva to predict upcoming maintenance needs, reducing vehicle downtime.
“Fleets are looking to operate their vehicles as safely and efficiently as possible to meet the needs of their customers,” said Goodyear director of New Ventures, Erin Spring.
“Digital tyre information helps enable this goal by providing proactive information, integrated with their service scheduling needs.”
For his part, Priva founder and CEO, Ryan Gee added: “Predictive maintenance technologies are essential for the safety and reliability of future mobility systems.”
“These technologies underpin commercial aviation and now must migrate into automotive applications. Goodyear’s intelligent tyre system is an example of how technology will make mobility safer for everyone.”
