On-the-Move Tire Inflation: The Technology Revolutionizing Transportation

Proper tire pressure maintenance is essential for vehicle safety, performance, and efficiency—especially in cargo and passenger transport. However, pressure fluctuations caused by temperature changes, wear, and other factors can compromise stability and lead to additional fuel and maintenance costs. This is where on-the-move tire inflation technology makes a difference.

What Is On-the-Move Tire Inflation?

The on-the-move tire inflation system is an innovation that allows tires to automatically maintain optimal pressure while the vehicle is in motion. It operates through a mechanism that detects the internal pressure of each tire and, if it drops, activates an automatic inflation system that restores proper levels without the need to stop the vehicle.

Advantages of On-the-Move Tire Inflation

Enhanced Safety:
Maintaining proper tire pressure reduces the risk of blowouts.

Fuel Savings:
Proper tire pressure reduces rolling resistance.

Reduced Tire Wear:
Consistent pressure prevents uneven wear.

Reduced Downtime:
Since there’s no need to stop to adjust tire pressure, operational efficiency improves and delays are minimized.

Positive Environmental Impact:
By optimizing fuel consumption and reducing tire wear, this system helps lower harmful emissions and decreases rubber waste.

Adopting an on-the-move tire inflation system not only enhances vehicle safety and efficiency, but also represents a smart long-term investment. The benefits in fuel savings, reduced maintenance costs, and lower environmental impact make this technology a key ally for the transportation industry.

Is your fleet ready to take the next step in innovation and safety? On-the-move tire inflation technology is the solution that ensures more efficient, safer, and cost-effective transportation.

Advantages of GPS Tracking in Fleet Management

GPS technology has become a key tool for the efficient management of vehicle fleets. Transport, logistics, and service companies have found in geolocation a solution to optimize operations, reduce costs and improve safety. 

Real-time monitoring

The use of GPS systems allows for real-time knowledge of each vehicle’s exact location. This enables route supervision, the detection of deviations, and quick decision-making in the event of unexpected situations.

Lower Operating Costs

By optimizing routes and monitoring driver behavior, unnecessary expenses such as excessive fuel consumption and unplanned vehicle maintenance can be reduced. In addition, speed control and the monitoring of harsh braking contribute to extending the fleet’s lifespan.

Increased productivity

With a clear view of each vehicle’s and driver’s performance, companies can optimize their resources, minimize downtime, and increase overall operational productivity.

Reports

GPS systems enable the generation of detailed reports on each vehicle’s activity, supporting compliance with transportation regulations and safety standards. Moreover, the data collected can be leveraged for in-depth analysis and continuous optimization of fleet operations.

New Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport Regulation 2026: Goodbye Warning Triangles!

As of January 1, 2026, a new regulation from Spain’s Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) will take effect, making the use of the V16 emergency beacon with active connectivity mandatory, permanently replacing the traditional warning triangles.

What does the V16 beacon do?

The V16 beacon is a light signaling device designed to alert drivers to the presence of a stationary vehicle on the road. It is placed on top of the car and emits a flashing yellow light with 360-degree visibility. It operates on batteries or autonomous power sources, ensuring a minimum lifespan of 18 months.

Technical Specifications 

To comply with the regulations, the V16 beacon must be approved by the DGT, ensuring it meets the requirements for connectivity, resistance to extreme weather conditions, and durability. Starting in 2026, only models with active connectivity will be accepted—those capable of connecting to the DGT 3.0 platform to enable vehicle geolocation in case of an emergency.

It is worth mentioning that although the V16 emergency beacon will be mandatory in Spain starting in 2026, in several European countries the requirement to carry warning triangles is still in effect. For this reason, drivers planning to travel abroad are advised to keep the triangles in their vehicle to comply with local regulations.
