LIONAX has licensed T-COMM Tracking and Tracing to commercialize in Europe a patented solution for an efficient tire pressure check designed for commercial vehicles. The new TPMS P-eye device is packed with technology that required two years of R and D development.

The new technology is easy to use and allows a more efficient tire pressure control. It is simply a case of unscrewing the valve cap from the commercial vehicle tire and replacing it with the P-eye monitoring device. The P-eye measures the preset minimum tire pressure and passes this on to the signaling LED on the valve stem.

Furthermore, when a fleet of vehicles are parked on site, it is not necessary to check every single tire, but action is only necessary on tires where the LEDs are blinking. This provides transport companies with a more centralized and efficient way to control tire pressure.

The P-eye technology will contribute to reducing fuel consumption and lowering CO2 Emissions.

Statistically it has been proved that approximately a quarter of all commercial vehicle tires are not sufficiently inflated, therefore increasing tire wear by 15 to 20 per cent, or 215 pounds per year per vehicle. Low tire pressure increases CO2 emissions and fuel consumption by approximately 7 per cent.

Practically all blowouts and resulting accidents are caused by an insufficient tire pressure. The P-eye product provides a credible solution for addressing all these concerns in a cost effective way for transport companies and society.

Michael Verweij, CMO of T-COMM Tracking and Tracing B.V. says: "LIONAX's patented TPMS P-eye products provide an innovative and attractive solution for trucks and semi-trailers for both manufacturers and owners. We have already ordered from LIONAX 1.14 million sets for 2008. This order is a key step for T-COMM Tracking and Tracing's implementation of its strategy penetrating the Europe trucks and semi-trailers TPMS industry."

James Yang, CEO of LIONAX says: "LIONAX's P-eye TPMS products provide a competitive solution for truck manufacturers and owners. In the United States, tire pressure monitoring has become this year a legal requirement for new cars and light trucks. In Europe, the P-Eye product for a 4-wheel vehicle is priced at about 20 pounds Sterling, plus an extra 2 pounds for an anti theft device without installation cost. By using this product, European truck drivers and transport companies will make roads safer, and at the same time will enjoy fuel savings and longer tire life."
