TPMS Helps Beru’s Results

The Beru Group has once again achieved an annual turnover of more than 300 million Euros for the year ended 31 March, up slightly (50,000 Euros) to 303.1 million. This was despite restructuring and product development costs and was helped by the performance of the Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems division, which saw sales almost double to 20.5 million Euros (10.7 m). Better penetration among German manufacturers and niche applications for TPMS in the commercial vehicle industry contributed to this good performance.

Beru Walks Away From US TPMS Business

Press reports say that Beru is to give up its tyre pressure monitoring system business (TPMS) in the USA. The reason is that the prices offered by the Big 3 car manufacturers were so low as to make the business uneconomic. Beru will now focus its efforts in TPMS on the European market, especially the premium vehicle sector. Beru’s shares fell sharply at the news, but analysts believe that this was an over-reaction and they expect the price to recover much of the loss.

White House Requests Rethink On Pressure Monitoring

The White House Office of Management and Budget has asked the NHTSA to review the requirement for new vehicles to be fitted with tyre pressure monitoring equipment fitted to the wheel and tyre assembly. The OMB states that most TPMS work on data sent by the ABS system, and that the added cost of the new system, may lead manufacturers to stop fitting ABS to vehicles on a cost based argument. The NHTSA proposes that vehicle manufacturers phase in a direct pressure monitoring system, replacing existing indirect systems, over the next four years.
