A Day Out In The Tyreshop With Westgate Tyres
Sam Hammond and Amy Brown from Bartec Auto ID met with Sophie L at Westgate Tyres recently to see how the team had been getting on with some of our TPMS Tools. In this case it was the TAP100. Sophie stated "Yesterday I got to try the TAP100 from Bartec Auto ID and I FELL IN LOVE. From a Road Safety perspective this piece of kit is small but creates such an impact. It is quick and easy to use and it's seriously going to come in handy when I visit events and check the condition of a vehicle's tyres. A quick pressure check, a quick tread check and it can all be emailed to your customer/visitor." Sophie went on to state "This is definitely something I will recommend for anyone carrying out vehicle checks or fleet checks and so on."

Bartec Celebrates 25 Years Of TPMS Market Leadership
It was early August 1998 that Bartec first got the call to design and supply the first TPMS antenna system for Renault Motors in Sandouville, France. The successful delivery of that system led to orders for eight additional Renault plants and further orders for Ford, GM and Chrysler in North America as TPMS was introduced there and eventually legislated. Since then, the company has installed over 220 plant systems worldwide.
In 2005 Bartec USA was formed to support customers in North America and supply TPMS repair tools to the growing number of aftermarket customers. Roll forward to today and the company has supplied over 210,000 TPMS tyre shop tools to North America and over 35,000 into Europe.
These advanced tools diagnose TPMS faults, enable repairs and turn off the warning light. The tools are able to receive software and coverage updates over WiFi again enabling the technician to repair even the latest vehicles. Bartec OE customers include Ford, Chrysler, GM, Mitsubishi, Renault, Volvo, Nissan, Subaru, Isuzu, Land Rover, Jaguar, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, Kia, BMW, Mercedes and wheel manufacturers and assemblers across the world.
A past winner of the prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise, the company has continued to innovate and for the past five years has focused on aftermarket emissions systems. It recently launched its new Particle Counter for measuring tailpipe carbon particle emissions and is already supplying into the Swiss and German markets to meet the new EU legislation there.
So, 25 years on Bartec Auto ID Group continues to innovate to maintain its leadership across all of its automotive applications. For more information visit www.bartecautoid.com or call 07823 355276 to speak to our Sales team.

RiteSensorBlue® Appears In Tyre Trade News Magazine
Bartec Auto ID, the Market Leader in TPMS Tools and sensors announces RITE-SENSOR BLUE®!
RITE-SENSOR BLUE® is the latest innovation from Bartec designed to satisfy an emerging need in TPMS Service. A Bluetooth TPMS Replacement Sensor, for Electric Vehicles like Tesla, RITE-SENSOR BLUE® is fast and easy to use.
Simply test for a faulty sensor with a Bartec TPMS Tool, install the Rite- Sensor Blue® and then drive the vehicle. The resulting repair saves both time and money for the technician and customer.
RITE-SENSOR BLUE® is suitable for Tesla Models S, 3, X and Y, right out of the box. The Bartec Next Generation TPMS tools TECH600 and TECH450 activate and decode the OE fitted sensor to diagnose a fault such as low battery in the sensor. Making vehicle diagnosis accurate and fast. If one of the OE sensors fail due to low battery, then there is a chance that the other sensors on the car will also fail having experienced the same duty cycle. The tools will diagnose this for the technician and enable the repair of multiple sensors at one visit if required. And, keeping up with demand the RITE-SENSOR BLUE® has three stem options to meet the various wheel colours. The standard Silver, Black anodised and Graphite are offered.
Managing Director, Colin Webb, said "The Rite-Sensor Blue® and the associated tool diagnostics are the latest example of how Bartec are out in front of the TPMS market with solutions. Tesla led the way with this technology, but several other OEs are planning to fit Bluetooth sensors and we look forward to supporting our Tyre shop and Repair shop customers with effective tools and sensors ahead of the market.

The Impact Of Cold Temperatures On TPMS Sensors
The recent cold spell provided a reminder that we are still in the winter season with parts of Europe using winter or all season tyres. Very cold arctic temperatures can impact the performance of a TPMS sensor leading to the warning light being triggered. Temperature fluctuations impact on tyre pressure and in an automobile with TPMS the vehicle is constantly monitoring tyre pressures. For each 10°F of temperature increase or decrease tyre pressures will change approximately 2% (1 psi). In a year of season changes temperatures could see ranges of 80ºF (27ºC) to 20ºF (-7ºC) leading to a difference of around 5 psi which could lead to a an illuminated TPMS warning light.
In a recent technical service bulletin (TSB) relating to cold temperatures and TPMS sensor air pressure readings Hyundai "Recommend that the customer check and adjust all tyre pressures, including the spare tyre, once a month. recommended that customers check and adjust tire pressures once a month."

Bartec announces David Jones as new UK and Ireland Salesperson
Bartec Auto ID Limited (Bartec), the British manufacturer and global market leader in tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), is delighted to announce the appointment of David Jones as its new UK and Ireland Salesperson.
David brings a wealth of diagnostic experience to the Barnsley-based, family-run company, following established roles with Nebula Systems and Euro Car Parts, and he joins the TPMS experts at a crucial time, as this year marks the first when vehicles, due their first MOT test, will be entering workshops with TPMS installed as mandatory. Legislation passed in 2014 stipulated that TPMS would be part of the annual MOT test and that all vehicles will have TPMS installed as standard.
On joining Bartec at this pivotal time, he said: “It’s fantastic (to have joined Bartec). The company has welcomed me; the people and facilities are great. I’m excited to get out on the road, start meeting existing and new customers, and, while it’s going to be a challenge, it’s one that I will embrace.”
David claimed the biggest hurdle to overcome is to convince customers that a second, specific TPMS tool is required; however, he is confident, considering figures regarding MOT failures linked to TPMS defects skyrocketed to more than 23,000 vehicles in 2016 - rising by 212% - customers will be eager to learn of this solution, instead of relying on existing equipment that is used to fulfil all diagnostic work and repairs on the vehicle.
“The figures only strengthen our position in being able to offer a market-leading solution to prevent the TPMS warning light from shining on the vehicle’s dashboard. We want customers to view our tools, like the TECH500, as a worthwhile investment.” The TECH500, Bartec’s marquee product, is the only TPMS scan tool in the world that features a combination of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, inductive charging and keyless ignition testing. Dave is confident that meeting customers, illustrating the benefits of second, specific TPMS tools, is an area that he will “thrive in”.
He added: “I enjoy the diversity of meeting customers, whose businesses are based in various locations and are different sizes. At workshop level, there are many excellent technicians, thanks to investment in tools - like Bartec’s - that are geared up to work on modern, demanding vehicles on a day-to-day basis, which I will enjoy meeting.” Bartec Managing Director, Colin Webb, said: “I am delighted to welcome David to Bartec, and I am confident he will be a great asset to the team. This is a crucial time for company, so I am thrilled to appoint someone of David’s calibre and experience.”

Tire pressure monitoring systems: Growth market with caveats
Laws mandating the installation of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) in new vehicles are leading to a swift increase in the installed base of this technology in the European Union and the United States. With
the proliferation of universal sensors and aggressive efforts to raise consumer awareness, the TPMS aftermarket is set for robust revenue growth, predicts Frost & Sullivan.
In a recent study the market research and analysis company finds that the market earned revenues of over $111.7 million in 2011 and estimates this to reach $386.6 million by 2018.
In 2011, only about 2.3 per cent of vehicles in operation in Europe, or 7.1 million, were equipped with direct TPMS. This installed base is forecast to grow to 36.7 million by 2018.
In the EU, transportation laws require vehicles to have an active TPMS. As sensor batteries typically last for 6 to 10 years, this mandate will drive breakage replacements in the forecast period and end-of-battery-life replacements beyond 2018.
“By 2014, nearly 38 per cent of vehicles in North America will feature TPMS - a 13 per cent increase from 2011 - thus, increasing the addressable market size,” said Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst
Kumar Saha. In Europe, the TPMS installed base, though much lower, is expected to more than double by 2014 due to supportive legislation.
As more European countries, including Belgium, Poland and Turkey, adopt winter tire legislations, TPMS revenues and unit sales will increase in the short and medium term. On the other hand, TPMS direct sensors installation in the U.S. will spike due to battery replacements, malfunctions, and winter tire replacements. Additionally, if the U.S. government mandates functioning TPMS sensors at all times and tightens gas mileage policies, the technology will become a key component in vehicles.
High OE installation rates have also provided manufacturers with the economies of scale they need to reduce prices and offer attractive TPMS replacement packages to consumers.
However, low installer awareness and long battery life have curbed TPMS replacement volumes, particularly in North America. High prices and the proliferation of stock-keeping unit counts for sensors daunt independent distribution and retail channels, further restraining growth.
To stay competitive, suppliers need to put adequate pricing and product placement strategies in place. Offering universal sensors, already introduced in North America by key manufacturers, will reduce inventory burdens on independent retailers.
These figures and conclusions are contained in the study "Strategic Analysis of the North American and European Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems Aftermarket". For more information visit www.automotive.frost.com.

New Schrader-Bartec Cooperation with Reprogrammable TPMS Sensors
Schrader Electronics, global market leader in TPMS sensors and Bartec Auto ID, world leader in TPMS Tools and Equipment, have entered into a new agreement to develop the EZ-sensor®, programmable TPMS sensor, for the European market. The EZ-sensor® can be programmed using both the Bartec TECH400SDE and the Schrader Exp'Air TPMS Tools to emulate over 90% of TPMS sensors supplied by the European aftermarket.
The
advantages over other sensors are clear:
- The risk of installing a wrong sensor is minimised
- Reduced cost of holding OE sensors
- No lost sales through non-availability of replacement part/sensor
- Easy and fast repairs
Bartec also provides the TPMS PAD, a universal test and programming station for programmable TPMS sensors such as the Schrader EZ-sensor®. The TPMS PAD can be used to test the broken sensor and extract its unique ID code, which can then be copied into a blank EZ-sensor®. In this way mechanically broken sensors can be replaced or complete sets of replacement tyres (for instance winter tyres) can be quickly and easily created.
Both firms are also present at the Reifen fair in Essen (5th to 8th June). Come visit us:
