Lorenzo Ciferri, VP Marketing & Communications at Trelleborg Wheel Systems, says: “Our digital transformation process started some years ago based on our strategy of delivering innovative tools to customers to optimize their farming operations, improve the efficiencies of their machines and guarantee a sustainable development for agriculture. This award is recognition of a fantastic team effort which started almost one year ago, with a dedicated internal group focused on delivering a solution with state-of-the-art technology. “Adopting the right tire pressure can reduce farming variable costs by over 20%. This is because this lowers fuel consumption, while increasing traction power and crop yields, protecting and enhancing the modern farming business. All of these benefits were highly appreciated by the jury.” The TLC Plus App from Trelleborg Wheel Systems is available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
