FORT MILL, S.C. – February 27, 2024. Continental Tire, one of the largest tire and automotive technology suppliers in the world, is introducing ContiConnect Lite to create a bridge between tire sensors and tire management. ContiConnect Lite is a simple and free-of-charge gateway to selected ContiConnect functionality via smartphone.
As an integrated solutions provider, Continental believes in helping fleets and commercial vehicle operators in all tire aspects. With ContiConnect Lite, Continental is allowing fleets and truck drivers to test a state-of-the-art system for free to show them how routine tire checks can improve the overall health and maintenance of their vehicle's tires.
ContiConnect Lite is for those who have Generation II sensors or Continental intelligent tires but haven’t signed up yet for a Yard Reader or a Live system. ContiConnect Lite allows users to access their tire data via Bluetooth and connects to the ContiConnect On-Site App to share tire pressure and temperature (TPMS) with the user. The user simply registers online to gain instant information about their tires’ conditions.
With ContiConnect Lite, a user can create, manage and configure up to five vehicles and track the tire data. The system is perfect for pre-trip inspection as the users receive tire data and alerts via Bluetooth straight to their phone while the vehicle is stationary.
ContiConnect Lite helps drivers check the condition of their tires. This brings added value, particularly for smaller fleets using intelligent tires or Generation II sensors. No additional hardware is required to make use of ContiConnect Lite. Similar to other ContiConnect systems, ContiConnect Lite can help reduce breakdowns, labor, and maintenance costs through tire checks.
It also helps to increase the safety of your employees and other traffic participants by utilizing the system before a trip to check for any alerts before going on your trip. In addition, ContiConnect Lite can also help save on fuel costs and gives you the convenience of the data right at your fingertips to enable easy tire checks.
Users can get started by downloading the ContiConnect On-Site app and registering for ContiConnect Lite. The App is available in IOS and Android versions. To download and register simply click here to get started.
