Treel sensors from JK Tyre to monitor pressure, temperature
JK Tyre & Industries on Thursday launched a one of a kind technology-based tool geared towards smart monitoring and maintenance of tyres called of ‘Treel’.
An industry-first move to deliver advanced mobility solutions to commercial and passenger vehicle owners, the launch of ‘Treel’ sensors is an outcome of its recent financial acquisition in Treel Mobility Solutions Pvt Ltd, a start-up venture, the company said in a statement.
“Being the pioneers of radials in India, we have done it yet again by introducing ‘Smart Tyre’ as an extension to our initiative of providing mobility solutions to both commercial and passenger vehicle owners. The introduction of Treel sensors is the first such high-tech move towards creating a smart tyre in Indian markets,” Raghupati Singhania, Chairman and Managing Director, JK Tyre & Industries said.
“It provides an enhanced value proposition to vehicle owners, particularly fleets, by reducing their operational costs. Underscoring our commitment to ‘Make in India’, Treel sensors are designed, developed and manufactured in our Pune facility and are already in use by fleet owners as part of a countrywide pilot,” he added.
Treel sensors are now commercially available at more than 700 dealerships across India. JK Tyre also plans to sell the technology solution online via an exclusive e-commerce sales channel to end customers.
