Leave a comment

The aftermarket SmartTOP convertible top controller for Peugeot 307 CC by Mods4cars will be available this December. It allows one-touch opening and closing of the top while driving as well as top operation from a distance with the factory remote fob.

Ocean, NJ, November 26, 2010 — The SmartTOP convertible top controller offered by aftermarket automotive electronics manufacturer Mods4cars offers more every day convenience to Peugeot 307 CC owners: Open and close the convertible top from afar with just the factory remote. No programming or modifications to the original equipment necessary. The SmartTOP controller allows to open and close the top while driving (up to 40km/h / 28 mph) with a mere tap on the top switch. No more pulling over and holding down the switch, allowing for drivers to enjoy their cars with the top down more often.

“We are happy to announce that we now offer SmartTOP modules for Peugeot 207 CC, 307 CC and 308 CC and are certain, that our retrofit convertible top controllers offer the kind of convenience and luxury you don’t want to miss, once you’ve experienced it!”, explains the company’s PR-manager Sven Tornow. “Our latest module again shows how much we have streamlined the development process”, he continues. Like many before, this module even allows starting or stopping the engine while the top is moving. All SmartTOP modules offer different function settings that can be programmed individually as well as a “main switch” which can turn the entire module off quickly when necessary.

Extra features of this module include separate window control (open and close) from the remote and comfort one-touch operation for the center console all-windows switch. With the standard USB port now present on all modules, configuration settings as well as firmware updates available free of charge can be quickly done with any Windows PC or laptop.

But not only Peugeot owners get to add the SmartTOP ( http://www.mods4cars.com ) convenience to their cars: Alfa Romeo, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, Mini, Opel, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW are popular brands supported by the SmartTOP series of modules offered by Mods4cars.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars ( http://www.mods4cars.com ) was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full fledged international corporation with an office in California and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Cut to Length Wheel Weights are on a Roll!

Leave a comment

Esys collaborated with 3M to developing a Weight Dispense and Cut System (DCS)

Esys took on the challenge to develop a Weight Dispense and Cut System (DCS) to complement 3M’s Wheel Weight System. The DCS was developed with few moving parts, making it easy-to-use and highly dependable.

In the tire and wheel assembly business, radical innovations are few and far between. So when 3M stepped up to the plate and developed a wheel weight technology that allows precision balancing, the industry took notice. The 3M™ Wheel Weight System makes wheel balancing easier, faster and more precise than ever while reducing inventory and freeing up floor space. In addition, the lead-free material has less impact on the environment than industry-standard lead weights.

Esys learned of this new product in 2008 and quickly jumped on board with 3M to develop a production worthy Weight Dispense and Cut System (DCS) using level wound rolls of 3M Wheel Weights. The Esys DCS was developed around the premise that it must be production worthy with as few moving parts as possible and virtually maintenance free. This project was a collaborative effort in which Esys equipment engineers worked closely with our customers and 3M engineers to create an easy-to-use and highly dependable machine. The ultimate test came once the machine was complete and 3M purchased one for its production facility in Minnesota. 3M production staff and engineers wasted no time putting the equipment to work and have since produced over 3,000,000 pieces! This enormous volume of production created a unique opportunity to learn how the equipment would perform in the real world. Many lessons were learned from this and have since been incorporated into our Gen2 DCS equipment. To the end user, this means a durable piece of equipment that eliminates the risk associated with deploying a new technology.

Over the course of the past two years, Esys and 3M have teamed up to conduct multiple online trials of this technology in actual production environments. These trials were conducted for several of the largest OEMs. The results of each test showed the ability of this technology to streamline the balancing process by reducing static residual imbalance by (up to 23.9%)   and couple residual imbalance by (up to 31%). To the vehicle buyer, this improved balancing technique will result in a smoother ride, better gas mileage and more even, reduced tire wear. To the assembly plant, this will result in fewer balancer rejects and less rework, fewer parts to keep track of and a more efficient assembly process.

Keeping Safe From Car Accidents this Halloween

Leave a comment

October means cooler weather with more of us spending time walking outside in the fresh air.  This is especially true during the later part of the month for Halloween.  Although walking through the streets of your neighborhood Trick or Treating is fun, it is important to take proper precaution to keep you and your family safe from car accidents.  Most importantly, make sure you can be seen by traffic.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that Halloween is consistently one of the top three days for pedestrian injuries and fatalities, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that children are four times more likely to be struck by a motor vehicle on Halloween than any other day of the year.  Halloween is a particularly deadly night due to drunk drivers. According to NHTSA, in 2008, 58 percent of all highway fatalities across the nation on Halloween night involved a driver or motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher.

In order to help you and your family be safe this Halloween season, I purchased Pedestrian Safety Lights that I am giving out for free.  As seen in the picture below, it is a large red reflector with a flashing light that attaches by a clip to you or a child’s clothing.  This will help the wearer be better seen at night by oncoming traffic.  I highly recommend that you use it while you enjoy your Halloween night.  Please call my office to schedule a time to come by and pick yours up now while supplies last.

Have a happy and car accident safe Halloween.

Best regards,

Motorcycle Tires and Accessories and Ride-On TPS Join Forces for Powersports Distribution

Leave a comment

MTA and Inovex Industries Join Forces for Distribution of Ride-On Tire Protection System Line of Tire Balancing-Sealants to Motorcycle Dealerships.

Choudrant, LA and Sterling, VA, USA, October 26, 2010 — Motorcycle Tires and Accessories, Inc. (MTA); one of the nation’s largest motorcycle tires, parts and accessories distributors, and Inovex Industries, Inc.; the manufacturer of Ride-On Tire Protection System (TPS), the only proven high-speed tire balancer and sealant, announce their intentions to distribute Ride-On TPS across North America through retail motorcycle dealerships. “We consider the motorcycle and powersports market segment as potentially our most important.” Says Mark Farkhan, CEO of Inovex, “the only thing between a rider and the road is his tires, and a flat can mean the difference between life and death – literally. Our product gives those tires the best chance to perform at their optimum capacity through balancing, air pressure maintenance, and flat prevention that keeps a rider where he belongs – upright and on the road. It also offers a chance for dealerships to establish a new revenue stream in a market where many are seeing a decline in sales.”

Says Larry Popp, President of MTA, “As the traditional balancing compound of lead weights increasingly came under fire for its negative environmental impact (it has been banned in CA), MTA wanted an alternative. Ride-On exceeded our expectations with its ability to balance tires as well as assisting in flat prevention and helping stabilize tire pressure in a similar manner to nitrogen-just without the mess you would expect from a tire sealant. We are looking forward to making sure this one-of-a-kind product gets to market so that every rider out there can enjoy a safer, environmentally friendly, more balanced ride. Plus, it is more aesthetically pleasing than the wheel weights being applied on today’s customized bikes.” Says Farkhan, “we couldn’t be happier with our partnership with MTA. Their focused catalog, strong relationships nationwide, and hands on sales approach were exactly what we were looking for in a partner to help us penetrate the powersports market.”

About Inovex Industries, Inc. – Ride-On Tire Protection System:
Founded in 1995, Inovex is the leading manufacturer of the Ride-On Tire Protection System line of tire sealants. With 8 environmentally friendly and biodegradable formulations, Ride-On is specifically designed to meet the needs of the various market segments including: Automotive, Motorcycle, ATV, High Speed Commercial, Heavy Duty Construction, Industrial, and Agricultural. Ride-On TPS’ high-speed formulas are the only tire sealants proven safe and effective for high-speed applications. Ride-On not only does not throw tires out of balance, it actually helps balance a tire without the need for wheel weights, all while making any tire into a self sealing tire.

In today’s Internet the real time information is already playing a significant role in how businesses and people access and consume the information online. Technologies online have emerged up to the point where 2 minutes may sometimes be the difference between having tens of thousands of people not only seen your PR announcement, but creating a long tail of reactions across the vast real time online space adding up to your overall online presence/reputation and your message being buried down among millions of other identical pieces of information.

Considering how crucial the real time information for the average business and web user appears to be, one can only imagine how great the impact of the real time information flow over the public relations business online can be.

That’s why we think it is about time for RealTimePressRelease.com — real time press release distribution online.
