SRI collaborating on IoT TPMS solution

Mobility as a service concepts are expected to entice many motorists from car ownership to vehicle sharing, and Sumitomo Rubber Industries (SRI) is preparing for this future with a new partnership with Japanese automotive Internet of things (IoT) service company TripodWorks and Taiwan-based TPMS manufacturer Sysgration. By drawing upon the synergies obtained through this agreement, SRI will introduce a solution that offers tyre pressure and temperature data via direct TPMS, and gradually expand the tyre control solution model it offers by adding new functions and/or other third party services.

SRI states that newly-signed agreement represents a milestone in the expansion of its ‘Smart Tyre Concept’ range of service solutions.
