In South Africa’s fast-moving transport and logistics industry, every minute on the road counts. Rising fuel prices, rough road conditions, and long-haul routes put immense pressure on fleet operators to stay efficient and profitable.
One of the biggest hidden costs? Tyre performance.
That’s where Col-Ven VIGIA Automatic Tyre Inflation Systems, distributed locally by Loadtech, make all the difference. Designed to extend tyre life, reduce downtime, and save fuel, Col-Ven VIGIA gives fleets a smarter way to operate — and a greener path forward.
Smarter Tyre Management for a Smarter Fleet
Tyre costs are one of the highest recurring expenses in any fleet. Yet, underinflated tyres remain one of the most common — and costly — problems on the road.
Studies show that a tyre running just 20% below recommended pressure can lose up to 30% of its lifespan. That means more replacements, higher costs, and unexpected downtime.
The Col-Ven VIGIA Automatic Tyre Inflation System solves this by constantly monitoring and maintaining optimal tyre pressure — even while the vehicle is moving. Whether fitted to a truck, coach, or trailer, it automatically detects pressure loss and reinflates the tyre to its predetermined, recommended level.
The result? Consistent performance, improved safety, and total peace of mind.
The Benefits of Driving with Col-Ven VIGIA
- Longer Tyre Life – Increases tyre lifespan by up to 20%, reducing replacement costs.
- Fuel Efficiency – Proper pressure can cut fuel consumption by up to 3%, boosting profitability.
- Enhanced Safety – Reduces blowout risks and keeps drivers and cargo protected.
- Asset Protection – Preserves casings for retreading, maximizing your investment.
- Fewer Delays – In the event of a puncture, the system maintains pressure until you reach a repair point.
- Eco-Efficiency – Cuts CO₂ emissions, helping fleets meet sustainability goals.
Technology That Works as Hard as Your Fleet
Col-Ven VIGIA offers two core systems designed to meet the demands of heavy transport:
Col-Ven VIGIA NM364 – For Trucks, Coaches, and Tractor Units
This external system is easy to install and simple to use. A digital LCD control panel displays individual or sequential tyre pressures across all axles. Drivers can instantly see what’s happening and stay in control — even on the toughest routes.
Col-Ven VIGIA NM247 – For Trailers and Semi-Trailers
A fully autonomous internal system that doesn’t need connection to ABS or EBS. If pressure drops, the driver is alerted via an LED signal visible in the mirror while the system sends air to the tyre automatically. It’s durable, efficient, and designed for hassle-free operation during loading and unloading.
Together, these systems create a complete solution for reliable, intelligent tyre inflation — built to handle South Africa’s demanding road conditions.
