Installing a Uniflate Nitrogen Tyre Inflation system

Uniflate has been established since 1992 as a result of a research programme into an onsite nitrogen production facility to replace the high pressure nitrogen bottles that were being used in Formula 1.

Since its successful launch Uniflate continue to be the sole supplier to the Formula 1 industry but also now provide systems to garages and fast fit tyre centres around the UK as more commercial vehicles and LGV’s are now fitted with nitrogen tyres.

Used in commercial cars and LGV’s throughout the UK the Uniflate Nitrogen tyre inflation system improves not only safety and road handling performance but also increases the life of your tyres.

Kwik-Fit has signed a contract with Tyre Bay Direct to supply Uniflate Nitrogen Inflation systems across its UK and subsidiary European centres. The system, supplied exclusively to Formula 1 Grand Prix Racing for the last 17 years was the first nitrogen inflation system ever developed for tyre inflation. Rollout of the system has begun across Kwik-Fit’s 595 UK centres and will be completed by the end of July 2009.

The major benefits of nitrogen filled tyres, over compressed air, are that they stay inflated for longer - reducing tyre wear, improving road handling and increasing fuel efficiency. Kwik-Fit chose the Uniflate Nitrogen Inflation system following successful trials in the Netherlands earlier this year, which led to the installation of over 200 systems countrywide.

Adding Kwik-Fit’s UK outlets extends Tyre Bay Direct’s distribution of the Uniflate Nitrogen Inflation system to around 1,500 European outlets, ranging from fast fits, service centres, MOT bays and car dealerships through to independent fleet users and Borough councils.

Nissan GT-R introduces specially developed tyres with nitrogen filled at factory

The latest supercar to hit the roads arrived in UK dealers from March 2009.  The Nissan GTR was launched in Japan in December 2007 and is the first Nissan GTR to be distributed outside of Japan officially under the endorsement of Nissan Europe.

Jeremy Clarkson reviewed the car in June 2008 and in his final verdict announced it “Unfathomably good”.  He also stated “The attention to detail has been extraordinary. For instance, the GT-R’s tyres are filled with nitrogen because ordinary air expands and contracts too much. And each gearbox is specifically mated to each handmade engine”

So why does Jeremy think that this is so great?  Nitrogen is widely used for tyre inflation in the motor sport and aviation sectors and in a number of European countries for car and commercial vehicle tyres.
