New Delhi: JK Tyre & Industries on Thursday launched sensors for monitoring and maintenance of tyres.
Treel sensors (from the recently-acquired Treel Mobility Solutions) strengthens the company's position in the domestic market, JK Tyre said in a statement.
“The introduction of Treel sensors is the first such high-tech move towards creating a smart tyre in Indian markets. It provides an enhanced value proposition to vehicle owners, particularly fleets, by reducing their operational costs,” JK Tyre & Industries Chairman and Managing Director Raghupati Singhania said.
The company has introduced tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) via Treel sensors that help in monitoring the tyres' vital statistics, including pressure and temperature.
The information collected by this monitoring system is relayed on a real-time basis to the vehicle owners' smartphones, thus allowing for early detection of issues and deployment of timely preventive measures to avoid them.
Treel sensors are now commercially available at more than 700 dealerships across the country, the company said.

New Delhi, Aug 8 (PTI) Iconic American jeweller Tiffany & Co said it will enter the Indian market in partnership with billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries and plans to open its first store in Delhi this year and one in Mumbai next year.
Tiffany, which is known for its diamond engagement rings and robin's egg blue boxes, will be another marquee name to join the ever-growing portfolio of Reliance. In May, it had bought British toy-store chain Hamleys.

"We look forward to bringing Tiffany's renowned jewellery collections and superlative diamonds to India," he said.
Reliance Brands Ltd (RBL), which began operations in 2007, is part of the oil-to-telecom group Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL).
