BANF and Silicon Labs have unveiled a tire-monitoring technology that processes high-resolution data in real time, designed for autonomous vehicles and connected fleet operations. The system integrates Silicon Labs’ ultra-low-power BG22 Bluetooth LE SoC into BANF’s in-tire sensor platform, turning the tire into a connected intelligence node.

Traditional tire pressure monitoring systems alert drivers only when pressure drops significantly, offering limited insight into tire performance. BANF’s solution, by contrast, measures acceleration, pressure, temperature and tread depth at thousands of samples per second inside the tire. Key signals – such as wheel-nut loosening, slip events or reduced friction – are processed within the tire, reducing communication load and improving response time before sending alerts to the vehicle.

Erhardt+Leimer will exhibit at Tire Technology Expo in Hannover, Germany, from March 3 to 5, 2026 (Hall 20, Booth 3000). At the show, the company will focus on EL.Tag, its high-performance machine for preassembling RFID chips into rubber patches that can be integrated directly into tires, thus supporting traceability projects and helping manufacturers prepare for the emerging Digital Product Passport (DPP).

Transparency and traceability are becoming practical requirements in many supply chains. With EL.Tag, Erhardt+Leimer enables an RFID tagging step built around tire-compatible rubber materials. The RFID-enabled rubber tags form the basis for the DPP and provide tangible proof of origin, sustainability, and environmental impact.

Goodyear has announced that it is expanding its Tires as a Service (TaaS) model with Veolia, a water, waste and energy management company. Following a successful 2024 pilot, Veolia is set to roll out the solution across its entire fleet operations in France.

Goodyear’s TaaS combines premium truck tires, predictive analytics and a wide service network into one comprehensive subscription. This model is designed to help reduce the total cost of ownership, increase uptime and minimize emergency breakdowns.

Veolia will also benefit from Goodyear technology that automatically measures tread depth, enabling timely tire maintenance and enhancing safety and performance.

Bosch has expanded its connected vehicle services by integrating Road Surface Alerts from NIRA Dynamics to provide drivers with more precise and timely information about road conditions.

Bosch’s connected services aim to assist drivers by delivering real-time insights into traffic, weather and hazards along the route. With the integration of its Road Surface Alerts, its services are enhanced with high-resolution warnings about slipperiness, aquaplaning risks, potholes and other sudden road hazards, which enables drivers to anticipate potential dangers earlier and adapt their driving accordingly.

The Road Surface Alerts are based on anonymized data collected from millions of vehicles.

Pirelli and Aston Martin have announced that Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre technology will be integrated into the auto maker’s future vehicles.

Cyber Tyre collects data and information from sensors in the inner part of the tire’s tread, processes the data with Pirelli’s proprietary software and algorithms, and communicates with the vehicle’s electronics to create functionalities integrated within the driving and control systems. Cyber Tyre, developed in collaboration with Bosch Engineering, will be fully integrated within the electronic architecture that governs the vehicle’s dynamics.

Pirelli Cyber Tyre technology gathers information from the tires sensors which is then transmitted to an electronic control unit to support the optimization of vehicle dynamics.

Continue reading Aston Martin to integrate Pirelli Cyber Tyre tech in future vehicles at Tire Technology International.

PlusAI has announced a collaboration with Goodyear to advance the safety and efficiency features of autonomous freight. The companies will explore how tire intelligence from Goodyear’s intelligent tire technology suite, SightLine, can enhance PlusAI’s fully autonomous virtual driver system, SuperDrive.

Goodyear’s SightLine technology delivers real-time, sensor-driven insights into tire health, road surface conditions and friction levels by continuously monitoring the tire-road interface. Paired with SuperDrive, the technology can support enhanced data capture to optimize vehicle performance, reduce operating costs for fleet owners and improve reliability across a wide range of driving environments.

“PlusAI’s leadership in autonomous trucking is built on innovative technology, deep collaborations and rigorous validation,” said Shawn Kerrigan, COO and co-founder at PlusAI.

Nira Dynamics has launched the Tread Wear Indicator (TWI), which monitors tire wear in real time, providing drivers and fleet operators with critical insights into tire health.

Tire wear affects vehicle safety, fuel efficiency and environmental sustainability, and Nira says that its TWI is a game-changing solution that addresses these issues. “Our mission with TWI is to bring a new level of reliability and ease to tire monitoring,” said Josefin Storm, TWI product manager at Nira Dynamics.

Low tread depth can be unsafe as it increases braking distances and compromises handling, especially on wet or icy roads.

Yokohama has begun testing a novel technology that uses AI to gauge air pressure from the sound made by tapping truck and bus tires. This technology aims to help logistics companies to reduce costs and improve fuel efficiency.

Daily air pressure checks with pressure gauges can lead to valve failure and air leakage. In addition, real-time monitoring can be time-consuming and costly. Therefore, tapping the tire with a hammer remains a commonly used technique for air pressure monitoring. However, this method cannot be used to determine whether a tire has appropriate air pressure.

To solve this problem, Yokohama is working with Metrika to develop an AI algorithm that can distinguish between the sounds created by tapping the tire and a variety of environmental sounds, determine when and how long the sound occurred (the sound interval), and estimate the tire’s air pressure based on the sound.

Continue reading Yokohama begins testing of AI technology to gauge air pressure at Tire Technology International.

Beontag has launched a partnership with tire manufacturer Michelin to incorporate its RFID technology into millions of new commercial and passenger tires over the next two years and beyond.

Beontag’s UHF embedded tag consists of a jointly design pod and antenna using state-of-the-art chips and materials, which enables complete traceability of all new tires, including manufacture date and storage location, distribution, installation and replacement, refurbishment and more, for the entire lifecycle of the tire.

The partnership between Beontag and Michelin was established in 2019, when the two companies began collaborating on the brand-new, UHF RFID embedded tag from scratch.
