The Departure Energy Standard

Every trip leaks money.

The wrong pressure burns fuel and emits CO2 you never see, already priced into your tariff and sitting in your Scope 3. We give you the number before departure: the savings and the carbon, per axle, per vehicle, per trip.

Move the variables. See your savings.

Illustrative simulation. 2% is the minimum savings observed across Pneumatic deployments. Actual results depend on route profile and fleet composition. Real values typically exceed this estimate.

01
The category

Visibility into outsourced fleet performance is the new procurement standard.

When a shipper outsources transport, the fuel bill is paid through the tariff. And inside that tariff sits a recurring, invisible loss: tires that depart at the wrong pressure for the trip ahead.

That loss is structural. It compounds across thousands of departures. It does not appear on a dashboard, because it is not a leak. It is the absence of a calculation that nobody has been doing.

02
The cost

You are paying for it. You just cannot see it yet.

A tire at the wrong pressure burns fuel and shortens casing life. Whether it runs below or above the correct value for the trip, the principal pays for it: through the tariff, through the fuel surcharge, through the next contract. The loss is real. The number is recoverable.

[1 PSI]
For every PSI a heavy-transport tire runs below or above the trip-correct pressure, fuel economy degrades and casing life shortens. At fleet scale, the loss is permanent until someone computes the right value.
03
The standard

The Departure Energy Standard.

A computed, axle-level cold inflation pressure profile. Calculated before the vehicle leaves. It replaces the fixed nominal pressure copied from a manufacturer table with a value derived from six real operational variables.

Tire
Base cold inflation for the specific brand, size, and mount on each axle, interpolated from manufacturer load-inflation curves. The starting point of every calculation.
Load
Real axle load for the trip. The load-pressure relationship is nonlinear and brand-specific; industry averages introduce systematic error.
Temperature
Ambient temperature at departure. Pressure shifts measurably between cold and steady-state running conditions.
Speed
Route speed profile. Speed shapes dynamic load distribution on the tire, and rolling resistance with it.
Gradient
Route slope. Gradient transfers load between axles and reshapes the energy demand across them.
Surface
Road surface and condition. Texture and roughness add rolling resistance beyond what reference tables anticipate.
04
How it works

The standard becomes a routine.

Four steps, executed at the depot, on every vehicle, every time. The truck arrives, the station does the work, the truck leaves with a number.

Before the truck leaves
Delivered to the principal
04.1

Compute

The engine reads the trip parameters and returns the correct pressure for each axle.

04.2

Transmit

The value travels machine to machine to the energy station at the depot. No one writes it down.

04.3

Inflate

Three passes, one per axle. Calibration to [±0.5 PSI]. Every action time-stamped.

04.4

Audit

The record sits next to the principal's own fuel and route data. Open-book, by design.

05
Who it's for

One product. Four conversations.

The conversation changes by department. The product does not.

05.2
Sustainability
Per-trip GHG records, derived from real fuel data correlated with verified pressure events. Auditable against your own books.
05.3
Operations
The standard runs at the depot, not in the cab. Vehicles leave compliant, every time, with no driver workload added.
05.4
Investors
A new category, with the unit economics being established right now. Heavy transport is the first market. Others follow.
07
The standard

The ancients gave one man dominion over the air. We are giving it to you.

Every trip burns energy no one can see, on every road, in every fleet. Pneumatic turns that invisible force into something you command. Backed by the 100+ Accelerator, piloting with AB InBev in Brazil.
