Bosch has developed and launched the SMP290, a compact micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensor with an integrated Bluetooth low energy (BLE) interface for measuring tire pressure which the company states is the first of its kind on the market.
Tire pressure sensors play a crucial role when it comes to safety and efficiency in road traffic – whether for motorcycles, trucks, cars or buses. They help to extend tire life, reduce fuel consumption and increase vehicle safety. Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are already required by law for passenger cars in many regions of the world, including Europe, the USA and China.
