Vortex, making its first appearance at the Brityrex International Show has targeted to sign up 10 new UK dealers at the show and will visibly up the ante in the drive to gain more export sales.

Exhibiting on stand 43, potential customers can learn more about the exciting British made revolutionary patented Vortex exhaust.

“With our unique product range we can change the face of the UK exhaust market” Barry Mead, MD of Vortex commented.

By dealing with Vortex, Garages, fitting stations and workshops only need to hold limited amounts of stock to satisfy the vast majority of the market. Vortex dealers need to be able to weld and require pipe bending equipment, which can be supplied as part of a dealership package. Vortex dealers can create exhaust systems for cars, vans, pick-ups, 4x4’s, sports cars; the market potential is endless.

Vortex systems are not “me-too” products. They are totally different from mainstream exhausts and offer garages and fitting stations opportunities to make good margins and deliver real customer satisfaction. Because of the unique design all Vortex exhausts are guaranteed to increase power and torque, while at the same time reduce tailpipe emissions and best of all save money on fuel bills.

Fleet managers could do far worse than spend 20 minutes finding out how much they might save by fitting Vortex exhausts to their vehicles.

Vortex is embracing an “Eco-management” philosophy that is being rolled out across all of its products and intends to announce some new initiatives at the show. www.vortex-performance-exhausts.co.uk

Stand number 62, come along and discuss your Wheel Alignment needs with one of our technical staff. www.supertracker.com

Haweka Provide Cost Saving Solutions at Brityrex International Haweka UK, the world’s leading independent manufacturer of wheel balancing accessories and commercial vehicle alignment equipment, are showing their comprehensive range at Brityrex International.

The Haweka stand will showcase the company’s complete range of commercial vehicle alignment equipment including the all-new Axis 4000. This fully computerised system can now include a complete data set of truck wheel alignment settings to enable real time comparison of actual readings against manufacturers specifications. The greatest advantage of the Haweka range is speed. There is no other wheel alignment machine that allows the operator to measure a twin axle semi-trailer in 10 minutes. The Haweka range is able to do this thanks to its patented wheel clamps, which are attached to the wheel rim by means of powerful magnetic feet (with additional grab arms for aluminium rims) and the measurement can begin immediately. These unique clamps are used on all Haweka aligners.

John Pullin of Haweka UK said: “In today’s tough economic climate the importance of correct vehicle alignment cannot be over emphasised. The equipment makes it possible for the commercial vehicle owner/operator to easily and quickly unlock the savings available from reduced fuel consumption and tyre ware. A one degree misalignment on one axle could increase fuel consumption by around 5%.”

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.

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
