Michelin Connected Fleet expands Trailer Premium offer
Michelin Connected Fleet, powered by Nextraq, a subsidiary of Michelin North America, has expanded its Trailer Premium offer following results achieved in collaboration with Penn Tank Lines.
The offering is designed to help Classes 7 and 8 fleets shift trailer maintenance from reactive to proactive through real-time tire pressure and temperature monitoring, according to a news release. The system alerts fleet managers to conditions requiring tire inspections and preventive maintenance.
Penn Tank Lines reported a 43% year-over-year reduction in tire-related unplanned downtime expenses after integrating Michelin Connected Fleet technology into its operations, the company said.
Michelin said the Trailer Premium platform combines tire expertise with telematics to provide real-time trailer visibility aimed at reducing costs and improving asset performance.
