Truck, bus and construction-equipment TPMSA BLE sensor for heavy vehicles — where it fits, and where it does not.
Request samples See the sensorOur BLE platform has been used on heavy vehicles in the field. The pressure span and wheel count are adequate for truck and equipment tyres, and because there is no receiver the fitted cost is well below a conventional 433.92 MHz installation. That is a real advantage in price-sensitive fleet markets — but it is not the right answer for every fleet, and this page says so plainly.
Why a BLE sensor here
- Up to 256 wheel positions on a single installation, which covers long combinations and multi-axle equipment.
- No receiver and no vehicle-bus integration needed when the reading is going to a phone or a tablet in the cab.
- Lower fitted cost than a 433.92 MHz system — the sensor price is lower and the receiver disappears from the bill of materials.
- One app across mixed fleets — two-wheelers and heavy vehicles in the same account.
Who buys this
- Truck and bus fleets in markets where a cheaper monitoring option wins the order.
- Trailer and multi-axle equipment builders.
- Construction and port equipment operators for non-critical fitments.
- Distributors who want a low-cost TPMS line alongside conventional products.
When to choose a 433.92 MHz system instead. If you need long-range reception from a fixed receiver, centralised monitoring without a phone in each vehicle, or integration into the vehicle bus (CAN / J1939 / RS232), then our industrial range on gzvia.com is the correct product. A BLE sensor trades radio range and a receiver for a lower price and simpler installation. We will tell you which side of that line your project falls on.
Optional receiver. If you want the BLE data in your own controller or on a display, we can build a receiver to order — serial (UART) or CAN output, or a standalone display. See the receiver options.
