SmarTire Systems Inc. has announced that Dana Corporation, its marketing partner for the commercial vehicle market in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, will supply the company's SmartWave products to commercial fleet customers through various truck manufacturer dealer networks in North America. Dana previously announced the availability of SmartWave TPMS tire pressure monitoring systems May 9, 2007.

"This is a significant development for the company as it dramatically improves our ability to penetrate the expansive North American commercial vehicle aftermarket. Fleet customers now have access to our products through top quality distribution channels," said Dave Warkentin, president and CEO of SmarTire.

"SmartWave TPMS represents a technological advance in the trucking industry that allows fleets to save money by reducing operating costs," said Jon Intagliata, product manager for Dana.

SmartWave TPMS active tire pressure and temperature-monitoring systems provide fuel and tire cost savings for commercial fleet owners by enabling them to efficiently maintain top tire performance. SmartWave TPMS may be installed on any existing truck and displays each tire's temperature and pressure deviation. If the system detects a loss of air pressure or abnormally high tire temperature, a warning light automatically alerts the driver to the condition. The system reduces tire failures, which in turn, reduces roadside downtime and increases driver safety, according to SmartWave TPMS.
