Trial with free tyre check in port of Rotterdam
Drivers leaving the terminal of APM Terminals MVII on Maasvlakte 2 can check the tyre pressure of their trucks quickly and free of charge. This free tyre check uses sensors in the road. When a truck passes them at low speed, a smiley shows the driver that the tyre pressure is good. The measuring device is an initiative of the Port of Rotterdam Authority and the Verkeersonderneming.
The trial with the free tyre check is in line with the Port Authority’s aim to keep the port accessible and it contributes towards sustainability goals.Furthermore, tyres at the right pressure not only last longer, but they also have a lower rolling resistance. As a result, fuel consumption and therefore carbon emissions are lower than with tyres with too low pressure.

鹿特丹港试行免费轮压检查
离开马士基码头MVII的卡车将被快速且免费接受轮压检查,这种免费的轮压检查通过在道路上安装传感器得以实现。当卡车低速通过传感器时,如果显示一个笑脸图案则证明轮压是正常的。该测量装置是鹿特丹港务局和Verkeersonderneming公司主动倡导的。
试行免费轮压检查符合鹿特丹港务局可持续发展的目标理念。此外,正常的轮压下轮胎寿命更长,并且具有较小的滚动阻力。因此,正常轮压下的燃油消耗和碳排放量比超低轮压下的要小。
