Building upon individual core strengths, Par Logistics, market leader in GPS solutions, and PressurePro, market leader in TPM, have combined technology, experience and expertise to bring TPM into the world of real time telematics.
 
For the first time trailer managers have real time information on trailer location, temperature, fuel levels and door activity while also receiving critical alerts on reefer failures, rapid fuel loss and now, insufficient tire pressure. Automated alerts arrive in e-mails and text message PDA devices and cell phones, informing managers of low pressure, reefer failure, and rapid fuel consumption, the companies said. 
 
“We are proud to be integrating our technology with that of Par’s,” commented Phillip Zaroor, president and CEO of PressurePro. “PressurePro continues to be committed to bringing the best possible TPM Solutions to the market, with the latest in cutting edge technologies. This partnership allows us to do just that, bringing to the market a genuinely complete solution.”
 
This alliance brings effortless, yet significant additions to savings and safety. Combined, the systems provide the tire pressure information needed to increase fuel efficiency, cut downtime, extend tire life and improve handling and performance, while also providing a complete management system contributing engine diagnostics, tracking and much more, the companies said.
 
John Sammon III, vice president of Par Logistics, said: “We are thrilled to announce our strategic alliance with PressurePro as we are confident that the merging of solutions will have an exponential effect on how fleet managers value our telematic solutions. Real time monitoring of trailers coupled with reliable sensors for fuel and tires just makes good economic sense these days.” (Tire Review/Akron)
