ContiPressureCheck TPMS
CPC_Visual_Hybrid_HS3_Reifenschnitt_Angeschnitten
Continuous tire-pressure monitoring drives down overall operating costs.
The new ContiPressureCheck system continuously measures the pressure and temperature of all tires on your vehicle – even when you are driving. This helps to save fuel and increase mileage. It also significantly reduces the risk of tire failure, whilst maintaining the value of the casing, and thus the retreadability.
Thanks to the new ContiPressureCheck system, you can now actively reduce operating costs by up to $1,750.55 per vehicle a year* while improving driver and vehicle safety.
* savings based on 4 x 2 tractor with three-axle semi-trailer driving 86,991.97 per year (assumed price of diesel: $2.72/gallon), including estimated costs (approx: $802.92) for one tire-related breakdown.

Huf Group and Baolong Plan Joint Venture for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
The family-run Huf Group from Velbert and the Chinese automotive supplier Baolong from Shanghai signed a letter of intent to establish a joint venture in the field of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). The aim is to accelerate growth through joint activities in the areas of development, purchasing, production and sales and to achieve a leading market position.
The new company will be launched on 1 January 2019. The Huf Group will contribute its tire pressure monitoring systems business to the joint venture. It consists of the two divisions OE (Original Equipped) and IAM (Independent After Market) with around 224 employees and locations in Germany, the USA and China. Baolong will contribute its tire pressure monitoring system division with locations in Shanghai and Wuhan as well as a total of approx. 400 employees.
As a family business with over 100 years of tradition, Huf is one of the world’s leading automotive suppliers and a sought-after partner of the automotive industry. Customers appreciate Huf for its high-tech orientation, for competent and creative solutions and for its worldwide presence. Huf was the first company to develop components for the new vehicle access and driving authorization systems. In the field of tire pressure monitoring systems Huf develops and produces products and solutions for car and truck manufacturers all over the world and is one of the pioneers in the development of modern directly measuring tire pressure control systems. More than 20 years ago, the first electronic tire pressure monitoring system was developed for well-known automobile manufacturers.
Baolong is a stock market listed automotive supplier headquartered in Shanghai, China. Founded in 1997, the company has been developing and manufacturing automotive products and solutions. Today, the company has developed into one of the world’s leading suppliers of tire valves. Baolong manufactures tire valves, exhaust pipes and tire pressure monitoring systems as well as other products with several production bases, R&D centers or sale centers located in China, the USA, Germany, Poland and Japan among others. In the field of tire pressure monitoring systems, the company started the development from 2002 and grew rapidly in the following years. Today, the company is regarded as the market leader in this area in China.
The joint venture will closely integrate the activities of both companies at their locations in Germany, China and the USA and offer customers worldwide an even wider range of state-of-the-art products and solutions.
Charles Zhang, President of Baolong and Dr. Lars Placke, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Tire Monitoring & Aftersales Solutions at the Huf Group, will lead the joint venture as Chairmen of a five-member Board of Directors. In addition, there will be a four-man Executive Team with Miller Feng as CEO (Baolong), Axel Hummel as CFO (Huf), Ralf Kessler as CTO (Huf) and Arno Fuchs as COO (Huf).
The shares of Baolong will account for 55% in this joint venture with Huf holding the other 45%.
Dr. Lars Placke: “With Baolong we have the ideal partner because our markets complement each other perfectly and we are thus expanding our international presence together. The joint venture will bring us even closer to our customers and enable us to serve them from an expanded portfolio of products and services. This will significantly strengthen our common position.”
Charles Zhang: “The joint venture is an important step for both companies to further advance their tire pressure monitoring systems business and accelerate their joint growth worldwide. Our clear goal is to be on the list of world’s Top three suppliers in this area.”
Ulrich Hülsbeck, chairman of the advisory board and member of the owner families: “Baolong is a strong partner who fits in perfectly with us. The joint venture provides the right strategic impetus for the business, which we acquired, internationalized and successfully developed since 2012.”
The official signing of the contract is planned for the beginning of September. Until then, further preparations are underway. The new company is scheduled to become operational from 1 January 2019.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) monitor tire pressure in motor vehicles to prevent accidents caused by incorrect tire pressures. In addition, optimum tire pressure can save fuel and avoid unnecessary tire wear.
