The integration brings the telematics unit VCU Pro enabling real-time fleet alerts. Fleet managers can now receive immediate notifications about tire pressure issues, allowing for proactive maintenance and reducing the risk of accidents related to tire problems. This real-time monitoring feature enhances the safety and efficiency of fleet operations.

Informed Decision-Making Through Historical Data

Beyond real-time alerts, ZF Bus Connect integrated with OptiTire provides fleet managers with historical data on tire pressure. This empowers fleet managers to analyze trends, identify problematic vehicles, and implement proactive maintenance strategies, contributing to reduced downtime.
