ISSUE 2
TPMS profit opportunities on show at Brityrex International Brityrex International 2012, Event City, Manchester, 9 -11 October 2012 Tyre retailers will soon have a major new profit opportunity as legislation covering the fitment and testing of TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems) comes into force later this year. And suppliers including Apaseal/Tyresure Autogem and Rema Tip Top will be exhibiting at Brityrex International to demonstrate the technical aspects of the systems and the commercial potential available. From 1 November this year EU legislation will require all new TYPE passenger cars to have a direct TPMS installed, monitoring and alerting the driver to abnormal changes in tyre pressure and, normally, the temperature. “There’s no doubt that TPMS will be a real revenue and profit opportunity for tyre dealers that invest in the training and equipment necessary to service the market,” says Ian Smith of Brityrex exhibitor Tyresure, whose products are distributed in a joint venture agreement with Apaseal. Smith, who will also be involved in the TPMS training workshops and seminars at Brityrex, adds: “Up to this point service and repair work has largely gone to franchised dealers, but the specialist tyre trade will have a great opportunity to take advantage of extra work if they can educate their customers about the need to invest in service and repair of their TPMS.” According to Tyresure, retailers can generate revenue from three main areas; TPMS battery failure, servicing the valve stem and repair or replacement in the case of valve stem damage. For a modest investment of around £1,000 retailers can equip themselves with the tools and equipment to carry out this work. Rema Tip Top Automotive is another supplier offering TPMS expertise with Alligator’s new Sensor Intelligent Technology TPMS program, which provides a complete solution for the replacement of OE TPMS sensors. The Alligator system uses one TPMS sensor solution to meet all mechanical installations for metal Clamp-In valves. Rema say that significant cost savings can be made from inventory reduction and time savings during the vehicle service cycle. Unlike other solutions, the dealer does not have to exchange or re-stock parts as OE’s make changes to TPMS systems. In addition to the Alligator program, Rema also supply the Profiler TPM-II diagnostic tool for the service of OE and retrofit TPMS systems. Currently around 1 in 10 cars on the road have TPMS installed, a figure that will rise substantially in the years following legislation. And from January 1st 2012 a TPMS fault will be an Advisory item which will significantly improve the tyrebay’s opportunities to replace failed sensors.

Brityrex focus for Matador Truck & Bus Radial sales drive from KRT Brityrex will form a major part of Kings Road Tyres’ (KRT) plans to promote sales and awareness of Matador Truck and Bus Radial (TBR) tyres in the UK this autumn. KRT became the exclusive suppliers of the range in late 2011 and has identified Matador’s 87-year tyre manufacturing heritage and reputation for quality as key factors, as it seeks to boost sales. A new website covering the full portfolio of Matador truck and bus applications for Regional and Long Haul, Mixed Service, City Urban and Winter fitments will shortly go live at www.matadortyres.co.uk. “Matador is an exciting brand with a great deal going for it,” says Tim Bader, KRT’s purchasing and marketing manager. “Not only is it a member of the Continental Group, which speaks volumes about its commitment to high quality products, but it also has a comprehensive range of competitively priced tyres covering all major commercial market sectors. “One of the points we’ll be emphasising at Brityrex is that as a mid-range product, all tyres are both regroovable and retreadable, delivering extra performance and value for money to end users,” explains Tim. Matador traces its tyre-making heritage back to 1925 and is now part of Continental AG; all products continue to be manufactured in Europe and the company has its base in Puchov, Slovakia. Matador is also committed to environmental protection. The company aims for continuous improvement in all activities to reduce environmental impact.

Profilâ&#x20AC;? deals with production and wholesale of retreaded car tires for all types of cars: personal, delivery and off-road ones, in many sizes and many patterns of the tread, both winter and summer types. The treading, also called the regeneration, consists in placing a new layer of the tread on the tire and strengthening the tire sides. The final product is a tire whose parameters do not differ from the parameters of a new tire (equally durable) and which is in fact more preferred in the world taking into consideration environment protection (recycling) The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Profilâ&#x20AC;? company regenerates mainly tires for personal, delivery and off-road cars, in typical sizes: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 inch ones, as they are the most popular sizes on the market. The technology of producing the treaded tire and the tire itself are characterized by high quality, durability and good use, which is especially important taking into account the safety of driving. Apart from the above-mentioned features, it has much lower price than the new tire. Our company buys the highest quality products from well-established producers of rubber mixes and from foreign tire providers. Since the beginning of its operation the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Profilâ&#x20AC;? company has paid special attention to the quality of produced tires. A number of tests carried out before and after the regeneration allows us to produce a faultless tire which is ready to be used. www.profil-zro.com.pl

Winning the NTDA TAFF Tyre & Aftermarket Supplier of the Year award has brought even more attention to the technical expertise of our TPMS programme. As we are progressing with our training programmes all across the UK we are receiving more and more positive feedback about the expertise we are able to demonstrate and share with our customers. The response has been greatly appreciated by everyone involved with Autogem. A common theme has been the ability of tyre traders and garages to not only retain business which would have been lost without the right equipment, but to also maximise the tools for greater revenues. In 2011 we were predominantly informing customers about our programme, so far in 2012 we have been in full swing training them. This support will be supplemented by the introduction of further technical TPMS product in the coming months. In addition to this we are excited about presenting ourselves for the first time at the Reifen Show in Essen, Germany where we will be demonstrating some of the training techniques that have allowed our programme to be recognised as award winning. Reifen will be followed a few months later with what we hope will be another excellent show at Brityrex, Manchester between the 9th and 11th October. All in all 2012 is looking like another busy year for Autogem where we will be exhibiting at 8 shows and dedicating 25-30 evenings to training and educational courses for our customers. Our mantra remains, think TPMS think Autogem. www.autogemconcepts.com
