from Global Market Review Of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems - Forecasts To 2010
Aroq Limited
Extract from the report
“According to the Rubber Manufacturers Association, US drivers are more likely to wash their cars than correctly check tyre pressure. In a national survey, the RMA found that three out of four American drivers wash their vehicle at least once a month, while only one in seven correctly checks tyre pressure.
Americas forthcoming TREAD (Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation) Act will take the responsibility for maintaining correct tyre pressure away from the consumer and onto the manufacturer. The TREAD Act requires that 50% of model year 2006 light vehicles, 90% of model year 2007 light vehicles and all light vehicles manufactured after 2007 in the US to be equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). NHTSAs latest proposal - presented on 15th September 2004 - requires manufacturers to install a four-tyre TPMS that is capable of detecting when a tyre is more than 25% under-inflated and warn the driver. ”
Tpm-systems does both, measuring / monitoring tire pressure in each wheel and immediately warning the driver in case of a problem employing the latest technology; all this is available at one low price.
