Subsidiary Company To Develop Nokian Intelligent Tyre Technology

Nokian has established a subsidiary company for commercialising and internationalising its recently-created intelligent tyre technology (ITT). The company is called RoadSnoop Ltd. and it will be responsible for the product development, production and marketing of ITT.

Called the RoadSnoop Safety System, it consists of lightweight sensors installed in the tyres which monitor tyre pressures and temperatures. Should the pressure drop, the system sends an alert to the driver’s mobile phone, in-car computer, or even to a separate display at a garage forecourt..
