A car that runs with 15% undervoltage consumes about 2% extra fuel. This means more fuel costs and higher CO2 emissions. Therefore, check the tire pressure regularly. Less CO2 emissions. The negative impact of driving with undervoltage on the environment consists of the consumption of extra fuel and the associated extra emissions of pollutants. If you use the calculation for our fleet above, this equates to an additional CO2 emission of approximately 35.5 tons per year. Driving with the correct tire pressure has the following benefits: Less tire wear Under-tension causes accelerated wear of car tires, which quickly reduces the lifespan. This leads to the earlier replacement of the car tires and more tire grindings that are released into the air as fine dust. A 20% undertension shortens the tire life by almost a quarter and a 30% undertension cuts the tire life by half. Better road holding If the tire pressure is too low, the grip on the road is reduced. This means a longer braking distance and a higher risk of slipping. Tire pressure that is too low increases the risk of blowouts. The braking distance is also shorter, so that fewer rear-end collisions take place. The tires are quieter Inflated tires produce less noise and are quieter on the road.
