US firm takes TPMS to the next step - an inflation system
Orlando, Florida -Â A US company, Maxair-ATMI, is marketing a retro-fit tyre inflation system under the name Maxair.
"This feature is ready and available and could be on all new automobiles," says Clyde Stech, President, Maxair-ATMI, Inc. "It's a matter of consumers demanding it and auto manufacturers making it available."
The cost, says the manufacturer, is "a lot less than most might think. An automobile parts manufacturer could supply the device to automakers for about $200 a vehicle."
