Maintaining correct tyre pressures is done poorly and irregularly. It is our goal to make thatprocess automatic; specific to the tyre, accurate and easy to use. Results from BridgestoneTyres annual safety campaign concludes that tyre under-inflation is costing the EU €2.8billion each year in wasted fuel adding 4.8 million tons of CO2 emissions; such is the cost ofcar drivers’ unwillingness to use current tools. There has to be a better way to significantlyreduce this waste caused by neglect.In the Bridgestone study 71% of motorists where driving on underinflated tyres. 10% underinflationresults in a 2% increase in fuel consumption, a 10% reduction in tyre life and asignificant decrease in braking performance.WheelRight Ltd is developing a road mounted device which, when driven over by a vehiclewith pneumatically inflated tyres, calculates the pressure in all of the vehicle’s tyres, as wellas measuring vehicle weight and load distribution.The successful deployment of this technology has the potential to save the UK £1Bn in fuelalone at pump prices and 2.6Mt of associated CO2 (private and commercial) every year. Amessage the UK Government reinforced in its recent “Action on CO2” advertisingprogramme acknowledges the fuel saving potential of ensuring vehicles run on correctlyinflated tyres.The Department for Transport report that illegal, defective and under-inflated tyres wereresponsible for more than 1,210 road casualties in Great Britain during 2010.WheelRight technology has the potential to dramatically cut fuel and tyre waste and theassociated carbon emissions and increase road safety.

保持正确的轮胎压力做得很差，不规则。我们的目标是使该过程自动化;针对轮胎，准确且易于使用。普利司通轮胎年度安全活动的结果得出结论，轮胎充气不足每年在浪费燃料方面花费欧盟28亿欧元，增加480万吨二氧化碳排放量;这是汽车司机不愿意使用现有工具的成本。必须有一个更好的方法来显著减少这种由疏忽造成的浪费。在普利司通的研究中，71%的驾驶者使用充气不足的轮胎驾驶。10%的充气不足会导致燃油消耗增加2%，轮胎寿命缩短10%，制动性能显着下降。WheelRight Ltd正在开发一种道路安装设备，当装有充气轮胎的车辆驶过时，该设备会计算车辆所有轮胎中的压力，以及测量车辆重量和负载分布。这项技术的成功部署有可能为英国节省10亿英镑的燃油成本和260万吨的相关成本。二氧化碳（私人和商业）每年。英国政府在其最近的“二氧化碳行动”计划中强调了一个信息，即承认确保车辆使用正确充气的轮胎可以节省燃料。交通部报告说，非法、有缺陷和充气不足的轮胎造成了超过1，2010年，英国有210人在道路上伤亡。WheelRight技术有可能大幅减少燃料和轮胎浪费以及相关的碳排放。排放和提高道路安全。
