Additional extras that improve car performance and driving comfort such as fuel injection, air conditioning and servo assisted braking and steering systems are now expected to be part of the basic package. This may put greater pressure on the car makers but it is good news for valve manufacturers, as all of these systems rely on valves in order to function properly. Where previously valves were only seen on tyres, now they have applications in many systems throughout the modern car. Schrader specialises in the full range of valves for automotive applications and is very happy with the way the market is developing. Wed, 31 May 2006 18:00:00 +0100
