One area where Farmer is pushing the boundary of HGV safety is on remote monitoring of tyre pressures: not only is there an in-cab warning, but also a message is sent back to a control room, He explains it's all about "intercepting an HGV with under-inflated tyres, giving roadside assistance and making sure the correct people with the correct skills are inflating the tyres".
Farmer adds: "We have a policy that if a tyre on an HGV is 10% under its recommended PSI, we send a professional out to the vehicle, so we're not putting a driver in harm's way. That's what Zero Harm is about: eliminating risk from everything that we do."
