The valve cap sensor is screwed directly onto the valve of a bus, truck or trailer tyre and measures the tyre pressure in real time. The data is accessed through the ContiConnect tyre app. This entry-level valve cap solution allows fleet managers quicker and easier tyre management, saving time and boosting profitability.

The subsidiary of the American trailer components supplier showcased systems for tyre pressure monitoring and solar power generation specifically for semi-trailers.

The company launched the second generation EnduRace RAT 2 truck tyre range. Available in 315/70 size for 22.5-inch rims, Apollo claims the tyre offers a 5% increase in mileage and a 10% increase in rolling resistance and traction when compared to its previous generation of tyres.

The company claims that its new range of trailers offer improvements in safety, durability, connectivity and sustainability, with energy savings of 21% when compared to previous generations.

According to Fruehauf, “these 70 cubic yard capacity tippers are specified with remote-controlled weigh loaders and electric easy sheets, both of which can be operated by the driver from inside the cab.”

Developed in collaboration with fellow German company Trailer Dynamics, Krone will present its new eTrailer, equipped with an electrified eAxle that recovers braking energy through recuperation, reducing the consumption of diesel and therefore the amount of CO2 produced.
