Michelin Connected Fleet, a subsidiary of Michelin North America, has integrated Doran’s tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) hardware with Michelin's Smart Predictive Tire solution.
The solution is available through the Platform Science Virtual Vehicle Marketplace, the first marketplace to carry it.
The collaboration combines Doran’s commercial tire pressure and temperature monitoring hardware with Michelin’s Smart Predictive Tire solution, helping create a more connected tire management experience for fleets. By bringing together tire data, connected vehicle technology and predictive insights, Michelin says the integrated solution is designed to help fleets improve visibility into tire performance and support more informed maintenance and operational decisions.
The announcement builds on Michelin Connected Fleet’s recent availability of Smart Predictive Tire through the Platform Science Virtual Vehicle Marketplace, expanding the opportunity for fleets to access an integrated software and hardware solution.

“Doran provides the signal, and our Michelin Smart Leak algorithm helps translate tire data into actionable insights that support informed maintenance decisions,” says Willem Moore, president of Michelin Connected Fleet. “By providing visibility into potential tire conditions, fleets can evaluate issues sooner and take appropriate action based on their operational needs. Our focus is on delivering information that helps fleets manage their tire assets more effectively and helps to support safe, efficient operations.”
Doran’s tire monitors and sensors provide digital tire pressure and temperature data that support the Michelin Smart Predictive Tire solution, helping fleets gain greater visibility and access to a more complete connected tire management offering.
“Fleets do not just need more data. They need accurate and reliable information that they can trust to reduce tire related repair and maintenance costs, improve uptime and keep vehicles operating safely,” says Jim Samocki, president of Doran. “By combining Doran’s proven TPMS technology with Michelin’s Smart Predictive Tire solution, fleets can move beyond simply reacting to tire issues and take a more proactive approach to tire maintenance.”
Through this new offering, fleets using Doran hardware and telematics integration within the Platform Science ecosystem can benefit from near real-time pressure and temperature visibility, in-cab alerts for drivers along with additional access to Michelin’s Smart Predictive Tire capabilities. The solution is designed to help transform tire-related data into actionable information, supporting a more proactive approach to tire management, the companies say.
