MAXAIR-ATMI Inc. says its new MAXAIR system detects low tire pressure and automatically fills passenger and light truck tires to the right pressure using an on-board air compressor.
"This feature is ready and available and could be on all new automobiles," says Clyde Stech, president of MAXAIR-ATMI, Inc.
Stech adds that automobile parts manufacturers "could supply the device to automakers for about $200 a vehicle."
