Continental has launched ContiConnect Lite, a new app version for digital tire management. ContiConnect Lite creates a bridge between tyre sensors and professional tire management and offers a free-of-charge gateway to selected ContiConnect features. It can now be used on tires with an integrated Gen2 sensor.
Continental has been delivering its off-the-road (OTR) radial tyres with a Bluetooth-enabled sensor ex factory since the start of the year.
“Digital tyre management contributes to greater safety, efficiency and sustainability, especially in the areas of earthmoving, agriculture, and at ports”, says Martijn Oosterbaan, Head of Product Management at Continental Specialty Tires.
Thanks to a Bluetooth-enabled sensor, the tire data can be read directly via smartphone, he noted.
“This makes access to digital tire management particularly easy,” says Oosterbaan. In addition to OTR tires, Continental also offers digital tyre management to its truck tire customers.
