Continental Receives 2013 Automotive News PACE Award


Continental has been awarded the 2013 Automotive News PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers Contribution to Excellence) Award for its LocSync Tire Pressure Monitoring System. LocSync software coupled with Continental's leading TPMS technology has proved to be quite a dynamic duo. The Locsync software provides the driver with precise information and specific details about individual tire pressures and alerts the driver in real-time via in-dash display. 

What makes Continental's LocSync software so efficient? 
  • Automatic detection: New tires and sensors are identified by the LocSync system automatically after just a few minutes of driving.
  • The LocSync works in conjunction with existing vehicle technology (stability control systems or anti-lock braking systems), thus reducing weight and cost. It also simplifies the task changing of TPMS-equipped tires. (Repair facilities and service bays rejoice!)
  • Can be easily implemented across multiple vehicle applications. Eliminates the need for specific OEM modifications. 
  • The LocSync provides real-time alerts of drops in tire pressure in one or more tires and as a result, helps reduce fuel consumption, increase tire life, and improve vehicle handling and traction. 
"Winning the 2013 Automotive News PACE Award for LocSync is an honor and testament to the hard work of the Continental team and worldwide acceptance of this unique solution by our customers. LocSync is the comfortable way to have detailed tire information available with an automatic wheel set management where the system is localizing the different tires individually: an intelligent product that works with existing technology to offer enhanced functionality."
