Why TPMS Is A Vital Road Safety Technology
Recent accident figures released by the Department for Transport (DfT) have indicated why the fitment of TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems) is vital to the reduction of vehicle accidents. Illegal, defective and under inflated tyres were responsible for more than 1,210 road casualties in the UK during 2010 and the number of tyre-related deaths on UK roads in the last five years has reached 164.
TPMS“The figures released by the UK government are a powerful endorsement for TPMS technology,” said Alfonso Di Pasquale, Vice President of Business Development for Schrader Electronics, the world’s leading developer and producer of direct TPMS technologies. “We believe that motorists purchasing a new car should have the safest products available on the market and a direct TPMS should be the system of choice.”
