SmarTire Systems tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) has been installed on the monorail system in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The SmarTire system was supplied by Rodgard, a division of Hutchinson Industries, and utilises their run-flat systems that the monorail cars ride on. This development of SmarTire’s TPMS technology expands the Company’s global market and sales potential.

“It’s incredibly important for the monorail operator to know if any tyre on the train has a problem,” says Joe Duffy, Technical Sales Manager for Rodgard. “Our runflat systems enable the train to continue running, but it is the SmarTire TPMS that tells the operator that a tyre problem has occurred, allowing them to take preventative action.” .
