Document Number OBNPCL1801 – January 2018

This is the official notification that Pneumatic Components Ltd is discontinuing certain variants of the NEXUS Nitrogen Units. This notification provides information on the affected items, the important dates and the end-of-life purchase information.

The NTDA Tyre Industry Conference has been a success yet again in 2017, and Simon Shorter, Sales Director (OE & End User Sales) for world-leading pneumatics and tyre inflation manufacturer PCL, presented visitors with a compelling argument for accurate tyre pressure:

You probably wash your car more frequently than you check tyre pressures – yet a shocking 35% of tyres are being driven at least 8 psi below the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.

Since it is the tyre’s air that carries the majority of the load, it is absolutely vital that tyres are inflated correctly, and PCL’s “Driven by Air” products are designed to manage, measure, control and dispense gases using innovative technology.

Key areas for discussion at the event were safety, fuel consumption, tyre performance, logistics and revenue generation.

In his presentation to delegates from the tyre manufacturing, wholesale, retail and associated sectors, Simon explained:
