Schrader has launched a new aftermarket TPMS sensor for Iveco trucks. According to Schrader, the new OE replacement sensor accurately measures tyre pressure and temperature, setting a “new standard for precision and reliability.”
Schrader TPMS Solutions is proud that more than 50 per cent of vehicles fitted with TPMS worldwide are equipped with Shrader-supplied units. Furthermore, the TPMS specialist emphasises that its “genuine OE replacement sensors are guaranteed to meet OE quality and performance standards.”
Schrader TPMS Solutions has launched two new bundles containing software upgrade bundles for its ST-1 TPMS programming tool and its 16 EZ-sensor GO. The TPMS specialist says these upgrade bundles are “created with workshops in mind” and allow users to unlock the ST-1 tool to programme other programmable sensor brands supported by ATEQ.

Three new members have joined Schrader TPMS Solutions’ sales team in the EMEA region: Ayhan Akin, Patrick Bondzio and Thorbjörn Källsbäck.

On 14 February 2020, Schrader was found to have contributed to and induced infringement of Wasica Finance GmbH and BlueArc Finance AG’s 524 patent. The patent relates to tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) technology. As a result, the claimants were awarded US$31.2 million in royalty damages.
Schrader Performance Sensors, the automotive aftermarket brand of Sensata Technologies, will launch two new motorcycle TPMS OE replacement sensors into the aftermarket at AutoZum in Salzburg, Austria (16-19 January 2019).

Schrader Performance Sensors has announced the launch of two new heavy-duty OE replacement sensors. The new valve-mounted sensors are already available for sale with the following part numbers: #3700 for Daimler trucks and #3702 for DAF trucks.
A highlight at The Tire Cologne for Schrader Performance Sensors, the automotive aftermarket brand of Sensata Technologies, was presenting its patented, programmable TPMS EZ-sensor 2.0. Schrader calls the EZ-sensor 2.0 its “preferred system” and says that in terms of flexibility and future viability, programmable sensors like the EZ-sensor 2.0 are “clearly superior” to other universal sensors (configurable sensors or sensors with pre-programmed app codes) available on the market. The recently-released black aluminium valve version of the EZ-sensor 2.0 was also on display.
With its new website, Schrader Performance Sensors says it possesses an “all-encompassing and easy access” online platform for its TPMS sensors and training offers. The automotive aftermarket brand of Sensata Technologies invites visitors to head over to www.SchraderSensors.com to take a look.
Coloured alloy wheels are growing in popularity, with black rims finding particular favour. In order to meet this increasing demand, Schrader has developed an EZ-sensor 2.0 with an all-new black aluminium valve.

Myers Tire Supply has added three new exclusive TPMS kits to its product offering. The kits include: the ATEQ VT56 industry-leading TPMS diagnostic tool with OBDII and two years of software updates; the Myers 360 TPMS activation and programming tool; and 12 of the customers’ choice of sensors from Schrader, Alligator or HUF.
Although fitment of a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is now mandatory in all new cars sold in the EU, the technology is still absent from a sizeable section of the car parc in the UK and other European countries, and the high (and increasing) average age of vehicles on the road means that cars lacking TPMS will remain with us for some years to come. Schrader now offers European motorists a retrofit kit that can add direct TPMS to these vehicles.
