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:
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.

Wireless tire pressure monitoring systems are a further refinement of tire pressure monitoring systems, allowing for rapid installation of the sensors and base unit to receive transmissions.
