LID Technologies stands for innovative know-how in TPMS, wireless electronics systems and pure automotive quality culture. The company has become one of the leading companies in the world creating such technologies. Our TPMS not only helps reduce CO² emissions in our industry, but it also provides tools to increase the safety of all types of vehicles, by monitoring the pressure and temperature of the tires in real time.

In addition, our solutions also respond to worldwide and regional safety regulations. That’s right! In the late 2000’s, TPMS was legally required in certain categories of vehicles in different countries around the world; the European region became part of the agreement in the early 2010’s. However, new updates of the UN R141 regulation has widen its scope, making this regulation applicable for larger types of vehicle categories, such as trucks, buses and trailers.

This new amendment of the UN Framework not only expects already manufactured vehicles to add the TPM System, but hopes that manufacturing companies foresee including this system within their vehicles before they are put in the market. The new regulation, which was implemented in its first phase on July 2022, is expected to be fully implemented in the recently added category of vehicles by July 2024. This proves the effort of institutions, governments, and companies towards safer and less polluting solutions in the automotive industry.

LID Technologies and its innovative technologies are keeping up with our times, offering its clients two specific systems, that will help enhance the vehicle’s control and security management, simplifying its monitoring… And yes, certified R-141!

Our Tire Pressure Monitoring System only Solution (TPMS)

This system warns against sudden loss of pressure, protecting the driver from any breakdown or even accidents due to tire failure, such as the one in the video below, which could cause big infrastructure and human damages. The TPMS will allow for inflation and temperature monitoring in an easy and efficient manner. It also alerts you is the pressure reaches dangerously low levels. The importance of this feature lies on the safety it provides to drivers and passengers and it is up to date with current R141 regulations.

Our Telematics Control Unit (TCU)

This system allows for the customer to keep better control of this fleet, as enabling managers to control the standard Telematics parameters (e.g., GPS position, speed, breakdowns, etc.) while controlling the pressure of the tires in real time. This system features a hardware box, mounted in the cabin, that functions as a receiver for all wireless sensors. The Telematics unit provides all the tools for efficient and safe monitoring, and is a cost-efficient solution that makes managers’ lives much easier!
