1955 Schrader International, US manufacturer of sensing and valve solutions, is to supply its tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) from 6439 Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles, a subsidiary of Mahindra and Mahindra, one of India's largest vehicle manufacturers.

As part of the agreement, Schrader will provide TPMS technology and the company's advanced "snap-in" valve sensor to Mahindra Reva's electric vehicle e2o. The TPMS-enabled e2o may be exported to the European market in 2014.

Schrader's market-leading TPMS technology allows drivers to remotely monitor their vehicle's tyre pressures via embedded electronic sensors that directly transmit pressure and temperature data from each wheel to real-time displays on the driver's instrument panel.

For Mahindra Reva, Schrader has integrated pressure-sensing electronics alongside its special rubber "snap-in" tyre valve. The patented technology provides significant benefits to vehicles manufacturers due to its ease and speed of assembly to wheel rims.
