Alligator presents new truck TPMS valves

Prepared for the mandatory installation of TPMS on trucks? From July 2024, new regulations take effect, making the use of tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) mandatory for all trucks. Not only fleet operators, but also workshops and wholesalers need to prepare for this. This is because the demand for TPMS products will also increase noticeably in the spare parts market. Alligator has responded to this development by expanding its range of TPMS valves for trucks.

‘Strong double-digit’ – Premium tyres & SuperTruck driving Prometon market share

A new name appeared on our radar in 2017 when Prometeon Tyre Group began producing the existing 01 Series truck and bus tyre range. Prometeon followed this by playing an active role in developing a successor, the Serie 02. This range debuted in 2022, and by that time the company was gaining market share both in the UK and elsewhere, aided by a multi-brand product portfolio. The Prometeon name came out into the open with the launch of the SuperTruck service network, which arrived in the UK last year – and the name will soon gain an even greater presence in the market.
