BERU F1 SYSTEMS WINS MAJOR MOTORSPORT INDUSTRY
INNOVATION AWARD
20 January 2006 - Beru F1 Systems
Development of advanced tyre pressure monitoring system secures MIA award victory for Diss-based motorsport technology specialist.
Technical innovation and specialist design lies at the heart of BERU F1 Systems’
success. This was formally recognised at the annual Motorsport Industry Association
Awards Dinner on January 12, 2006 held during the Autosport International exhibition
at the NEC in Birmingham (January 13-16, 2006). BERU F1 Systems received the
prestigious MIA Business Excellence Award for Technology and Innovation. One of
only seven awards presented, it pays tribute to DigiTyre, the company’s new tyre
pressure monitoring system (TPMS). DigiTyre is currently used in the Bugatti Veyron
16.4, the world’s fastest road car. “We have worked very hard to build our reputation as a technical specialist and
innovator in our field,” says John Bailey, managing director of BERU F1 Systems. “Our
mission everyday is to drive exciting technology forward and create original products
but it is an honour to be recognised formally by the motorsport industry in this way. It
rewards the hard work, commitment and talent of our dedicated team. I am very proud.”
Flexibility, reliability and ease of use are core strengths of the winning product, which is
based on BERU technology. High-level technical support and software allows also for
in the field tuning capabilities. DigiTyre is a highly accurate, robust TPMS. It operates at an unrivalled level of
performance in harsh motorsport conditions. Capable of operating at temperatures of
over 100oC and forces up to 2900G, DigiTyre succeeds where standard TPMS designs fail. Building on its successes with DigiTyre in motorsport and high-end production car
applications, BERU F1 systems is continuing to develop the product for new users and
novel applications. For the unique challenge of US stock car racing, the company has
created the first ever dual tyre pressure monitoring system, DigiTyre DT, planned for
release in 2006 for the NASCAR racing series. At a more accessible level, customer demand has triggered the design of a new low cost
version of the system, which launched at Autosport International last week. DigiTyre
Lite brings the power, performance and safety of BERU F1 Systems’ award winning
TPMS technology to a far broader group of motorsport enthusiasts world-wide.
