Automatic Tire Inflation Systems

Retrofitting a line-haul truck with an automatic tire inflation system could save 100 gallons of fuel annually and reduce tire wear and maintenance, while eliminating one metric ton of carbon dioxide.

• Truck fleets that find it too difficult or expensive to monitor tire pressure on a regular basis should consider installing automatic tire inflation systems on drive and trailer tires.

• An automatic tire inflation system used on a typical line-haul truck can generally pay for itself in just over two years, while decreasing the risk of expensive tire failure caused by under inflation.
