Michelin Auto Inflate is a wheel-mounted tire management solution that allows fleets to automatically maintain optimal tire pressure. The system, powered by Halo in association with Aperia Technologies, can save fleets an estimated $2400 per tractor-tire annually by reducing tire-related downtime events, extending tire life, improving fuel economy and increasing safety. The device can be retrofit on existing vehicles or incorporated as an add-on to new equipment. It works with both duals and wide-base single tires. The compact, self-powered pump can be mounted to the hub in 10 minutes using standard tools. With each wheel rotation, the device monitors and adjusts for low air pressure.
