Since developing the Deflation Warning System (DWS), a tire pressure monitoring system, in 1997, we have continuously refined our tire sensing technologies over the past three decades.
Today, by leveraging DUNLOP’s extensive expertise in tire data analysis, we are able to deliver new value through “SENSING CORE,” our sensorless sensing technology.
"SENSING CORE" is a software technology that analyzes wheel speed data generated by tire rotation together with CAN data (vehicle control information) to detect tire pressure, tire load, tire wear, road conditions, and early signs of wheel detachment.
Through these capabilities, “SENSING CORE” contributes to the advancement of the automotive industry as it evolves toward the era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) and autonomous driving.
"SENSING CORE" is a software-based technology that does not require additional sensors. This not only helps reduce costs associated with physical sensor installation, but also enables flexible function updates.
In addition, the technology is compatible with a wide range of tires and can be applied to various vehicles.
Leveraging this technology, we are developing software solutions for the era of SDVs and autonomous driving.
To date, the Deflation Warning System (DWS) has been adopted by 26 automotive manufacturers and installed in more than 58 million vehicles worldwide (total installations from 1997 to 2025).
In October 2025, the “Wheel Detachment” function was adopted for the new GIGA heavy-duty truck from Isuzu Motors Limited.
In December 2025, the “Tire Load” and “Tire Pressure” functions were adopted for the new Ruichi C5 commercial EV from Chongqing Ruichi Automobile Industry Co., Ltd., a major player in China’s commercial EV market.
As vehicles continue to evolve toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) and autonomous driving, ensuring greater safety in both vehicle systems and driving performance has become increasingly important.
Together with our partners, we will continue to evolve our technologies and address a wide range of challenges through a collaborative platform.
