SmarTire Signs With John Deere

SmarTire Systems Inc. has announced that it has signed an agreement to supply its SmartWave tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to Deere&Company, maker of the well-known John Deere vehicles. “We’re very pleased to be working with Deere&Company, a leading global manufacturer of vehicles in the construction, mining and forestry sectors,” SmarTire CEO Dave Warkentin said.

“The off-road (OTR) market is a key part of our business strategy and we believe that our agreement to supply Deere&Company is a major step forward in our effort to penetrate the OEM segment of that market. We are excited that the engineering phase has been successfully completed and expect production to begin soon.”

SmartWave TPMS is a real-time electronic system that actively and accurately measures the air pressure and temperature for each tire on a vehicle. The system transmits data wirelessly to a receiver mounted on the vehicle, and displays the information in the cab. SmartWave TPMS simplifies the tire maintenance process resulting in an overall reduction of fleet operating costs.

Whether it’s alerting the driver to a specific under- inflated tire or providing fleet maintenance staff with the capability to quickly and accurately measure tire pressure, SmartWave TPMS is an invaluable tool for fleets. Suitable for all wheel and tire types, SmartWave TPMS can be installed at any point in the vehicle’s life.
