ATLAS Global Partnerships Director Gary Brierley firmly believes in the profound impact of ATLAS-connected TPMS on fleet decarbonization. Real-time monitoring along with data analytics are part of significant reductions in a company's carbon footprint, placing it as a foundation for the pursuit of greater sustainability and a more efficient future for transportation industries.
Fleet Decarbonization and ATLAS TPMS
The global decarbonization effort has gained much momentum as the pressing need to fight climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions is recognized globally. Industry and transport are often referenced in the discourse on fleet decarbonization, often taking on a large amount of responsibility and inspiring critical conversations about the planet's sustainable future.
Large-scale initiatives, along with policy changes, are a vital element in this effort. However, small steps are emerging as an equally critical strategy. With this in mind, implementing the Advanced Connected Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems, ATLAS TPMS provides an exciting example of minor innovations contributing to substantial reductions in carbon emissions and fostering a greener future.
Fleet Decarbonization and ATLAS TPMS: Deflating Carbon Emissions
Tires are a commonly overshadowed but substantial factor in a vehicle's carbon footprint. Incorrect tire pressure often leads to an increase in rolling resistance, which increases fuel demand to maintain speed. The U.S. Department of Energy has reported that under-inflated tires have the potential to reduce fuel efficiency by up to 3%, leading to millions of tons of preventable CO2 emissions each year.
ATLAS TPMS: Empowering Operators for Change
ATLAS TPMS technology takes this issue on with 24/7 continuous tire pressure monitoring and driver alerts when adjustments are required, even when the vehicle or machine is turned off. This innovation is a perfect example of approaching decarbonization with small steps. Through the empowerment of vehicle and machine operators, proactive measures are taken to optimize tire performance. ATLAS TPMS is contributing to fuel savings as well as emission reductions.
Benefits of ATLAS TPMS: Paving the Way to a Greener Future
Improved Fuel Efficiency: Proper inflated tires reduce rolling resistance, improving fuel efficiency. This saves the operator’s money and greatly lowers the carbon footprint of their vehicles and machines.
Emission Reduction: Reducing fuel consumption means less CO2 emissions per vehicle and machine. Translated to a larger scale, the collective impact of adopting ATLAS TPMS could make a notable contribution to global decarbonization efforts.
Extended Tire Lifespan: The lifespan of a tire can be extended by maintaining optimal tire pressure, meaning a reduction in the frequency of tire replacements. This saves resources and minimizes the environmental impact of tire production and disposal.
Enhanced Safety: By inflating tires properly, there is enhanced vehicle stability, handling, and braking. This leads to improved road safety and the indirect decarbonization contribution of reducing the probability of accidents and vehicle damage that produce additional emissions from repairs.
Fleet Decarbonization: Conclusion – Small Steps, Big Wins
The road to fleet decarbonization is complex and multi-layered and requires collaboration over sectors and the implementation of various strategies.
Large initiatives and policy changes are needed, but the impact of small, tangible steps should not be overlooked.
Adopting ATLAS TPMS is an excellent example of innovative solutions creating a trickle-down effect of positive change. Everybody wins when operators and individuals are empowered to optimize their machine and vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
ATLAS TPMS has already begun its essential role in the ‘Small Steps’ approach to decarbonization. Connected technology will continue to evolve, and businesses that embrace this type of solution will be central to creating a more sustainable and greener future.
Top 10 Reasons Why Fleet Operators Choose to Recondition ATLAS TPMS Technology
The industrial world is collectively striding towards decarbonization, and the effect of each small but meaningful step becomes essential. ATLAS technology offers a hands-on approach—recycling through re-conditioning the ATLAS TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) technology hardware. This initiative aligns with ATLAS’ commitment to sustainability and offers a variety of benefits for ATLAS TPMS users.
Over nearly seven years, ATLAS TPMS consistently demonstrated a record of exceptional performance in demanding and diverse settings, both on and off-road.
Extensive use like this usually gives fleet operators the idea of considering replacements. However, the lasting reliability of ATLAS TPMS offers a good alternative—reconditioning. Below are ten reasons ATLAS users often decondition their units after six years, demonstrating the lasting value, performance, and longevity that ATLAS TPMS delivers consistently.
Cost Savings: Reconditioning aging TPMS hardware can be more cost-effective than purchasing a whole new system. Fleet operators are able to save on the initial costs of buying new equipment.
Environmental Impact: Reconditioning is a more sustainable choice due to the reduction in electronic waste. Re-purposing also helps to minimize the environmental footprint of manufacturing and disposing of electronic components.
Compatibility: Reconditioning enables fleet operators to maintain compatibility between their current vehicles or machines. Upgrading to a new system might demand further modifications or replacements, which can cost more in dollars and time.
Extended Service Life: ATLAS TPMS hardware is built for refurbishment or upgrading to extend its service life. Fleet operators have the option to replace specific parts and update the software for performance improvements, which keeps the system functional for many more years.
Ease of Integration: Using recycled TPMS hardware simplifies the integration process. Existing hardware is often already compatible with the fleet management software and other monitoring systems, which reduces the necessity of extensive changes and adaptations.
Familiarity and Training: For fleet operators that are already familiarized with the older TPMS system, recycling and utilizing similar systems can mean a reduction, or elimination, of additional training. Being familiar with the equipment can also streamline troubleshooting and maintenance processes.
Inventory Management: Recycling ATLAS TPMS hardware enables more efficient inventory management. Fleet managers can maintain a supply of replacement parts for older systems, which reduces the need for a complex component inventory with elements for several generations of TPMS hardware.
Budget Considerations: A number of fleet operators have enjoyed an ROI of under 12 months with the ATLAS solution. Financial constraints can reduce a companies’ access to investing in new technologies. Recycled older TPMS hardware is a cost-effective alternative.
Proven Reliability: Older ATLAS TPMS hardware has a longer history and proven track record of reliability. Fleet operators can be confident in the systems’ durability and performance, adding to the argument for recycling and continued use.
Regulatory Compliance: If the older systems meet regulatory requirements, there is likely not an urgent need to upgrade to newer or more advanced models.
In Conclusion: A Leap into Sustainable Progress
By choosing to recondition ATLAS TPMS technology hardware with software upgrades the user is taking a step toward decarbonization and sustainable progress.
The benefits to the environment, united with long-term reliability and flexibility, make it a wise decision for fleet operators navigating on and off-road terrains, who are committed to a reduction in their carbon footprint.
