Indian manufacturers continually strive to bring in better technologies to aid Indian consumers. Building on a similar pattern, JK Tyre & Industries today announced a major advancement with the launch of India’s first embedded smart tyre for the passenger vehicle segment.
These new smart tyres have been designed and manufactured at JK Tyre’s state-of-the-art Banmore facility in Madhya Pradesh. These next-generation smart tyres feature advanced sensors embedded within the tyre structure. The sensors continually monitor critical parameters such as air pressure, temperature, and potential air leaks, delivering users insights that improve vehicle safety, performance, and efficiency.
Soon, the embedded tyres will be available in the aftermarket through JK Tyre dealerships, and initially, the sizes will range from 14 to 17 inches. JK’s new innovative technology combines TPMS with cloud-based analytics, first introduced in 2019 through TREEL sensors, which are widely adopted across dealer networks and authorized outlets. Over the years, JK Tyre has reaffirmed its position as a frontrunner in intelligent mobility, driven by its commitment to safety, performance, and future-ready technology. Its new advancements, such as radial tyre technology, lead the way to next-generation smart tyre solutions. JK Tyre continues to redefine mobility for a more efficient future.
