PressurePro Drop & Hook for the German market

Bendorf, den 25. August2009: SpecialTrade24 Import & Export Solution in partnership with Spezialshop24 is pleased to announce the introduction of a new INTELLIGENT DROP & HOOK After-Market TPMS for the GERMAN market. The system, first in the market, has been designed to work specifically with multi trailer fleets, allowing automatic tethering and un-tethering of trailers to tractors.

Building on core strengths, PressurePro market leading technology in Tire Pressure Measuring System includes Telematics, GPS solutions, and vehicle communication systems.

The Intelligent System includes an Intelligent Monitor, Intelligent Repeater and Sensors. The monitor is mounted in the cab and displays the current pressure and alerts to a driver or it can be integrated with other Telematic products in the vehicle to report pressures and alerts to an office / remote management system. The system can read 16 tires per tractor and with the use of an Intelligent Repeater up to 3 trailers

TOTAL NUMBER OF TIRE POSITIONS POSSIBLE: 64 TIRES

The Intelligent Repeater is installed onto a trailer and hooks into the trailer’s power (ABS) line, allowing communication of the trailer’s sensors with the Intelligent Monitor (or Bridge) in the tractor. When the tractor or trailer are tethered, the Monitor picks up the ID’s, pressures and positions of Sensors on the trailer from the Intelligent Repeater. When the trailer is unhooked and there is no more communication for 20 seconds, the Monitor automatically “forgets” that trailer and begins to look for new readings. When a new trailer is introduced, the Monitor recognizes the new IR and accepts its full information..

ADVANTAGES PRESSUREPRO

- Unlimited (no reprogramming) drop & hook of trailers
- Monitors up to 64 tires
- Intelligent Bridge to transmit TPMS data into remote office
- Self Diagnosis for signal strength
- Industrial GE Large Bore Sensor (for Mining, Logging, Waste Hauling)
- Data Logging Monitor stores 60 days of TPMS data.

On March 10th, 2009 the European Parliament introduced a proposal
to the Commission to call for a mandatory Tire Pressure System adoption.
The proposal includes:

All Vehicle in category M1 must have a tire pressure system to warn the driver of loss of pressure occurring in any of the tires. There shall be a two year introduction phase starting November 1st, 2009 to the year 2012

Quotes of the Tire Pressure Measuring System Proposal:

(6) It is appropriate to set out requirements on both the general safety of motor vehicles and the environmental performance of tyres, due to the availability of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems which enhance at the same time the safety and environmental performance of tyres.

(7) ………. This Regulation should therefore lay down only fundamental provisions on vehicle safety and CO2 and noise emissions from tyres whereas ……….

(14) The timetable for the introduction of specific new requirements for the type-approval of vehicles should take into account the technical feasibility of those requirements. In general, the requirements should initially apply only to new types of vehicle. Existing types of vehicle should be allowed an additional time period to comply with the requirements. Furthermore, mandatory installation of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems should initially apply only to passenger cars. Mandatory installation of other advanced safety features should initially apply only to heavy goods vehicles.

(16) The Commission should assess the feasibility of extending mandatory installation of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems and Lane Departure Warning Systems and Advanced Emergency Braking Systems to other categories of vehicle and, if appropriate, propose an amendment to this Regulation.

(19) ………….. It is appropriate to implement the measures announced in the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament "Results of the review of the Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles"(7) aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from tyres. This reduction should be achieved through a combination of low rolling resistance tyres and the use of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems.
