NIRA Dynamics has launched a breakthrough Tread Wear Indicator (TWI) that delivers real-time monitoring of tyre wear, providing drivers and fleet operators with critical insights into tyre health.

As the automotive industry shifts from traditional service intervals to continuous, data-driven monitoring, tyre wear is emerging as a top maintenance priority as it directly impacts vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and environmental sustainability

“Our mission with TWI is to bring a new level of reliability and ease to tyre wear monitoring,” says Josefin Storm, Product Manager TWI of NIRA Dynamics. “TWI ensures safer driving for individuals but also offers fleet operators a cost-effective way to maintain their vehicles efficiently.”

Low tread depth can increase braking distances and compromise handling, especially on wet or icy roads. By continuously monitoring tread wear, TWI provides early warnings that enable drivers to replace tyres before they reach a critical level of wear. For fleet operators, these insights allow for better planning, avoiding unexpected tyre replacements and ensuring fleet vehicles are safe and roadworthy.

With TWI, tyres can be replaced when necessary, reducing waste, lowering particle emissions, and supporting greener driving practices. The data-driven approach is particularly impactful in fleet management, where optimising tyre usage can lead to significant environmental benefits.

Unlike other tyre monitoring systems that require expensive hardware, TWI operates solely on the existing sensors in the vehicle. This means, low cost and low/no maintenance.

“This is just the beginning,” adds Lisa Åbom. “Our team is dedicated to refining and expanding the capabilities of TWI to ensure that every driver, fleet operator, and manufacturer has access to reliable, real-time data for safer, more sustainable driving.”
