James Perry Chief Executive of Transense said: "I am delighted that Stack, the leading motorsport company in the world for dashboard and data logging technology, has taken a licence to exploit our technology in this very demanding area for tyre pressure monitoring and special torque sensing systems".

"We have been approached many times in recent years to address this market sector, which includes F1 and world rally, but to do so effectively would have taken too much of our engineering time and other programs, which our team have been working on, would have suffered".

"However, this is the area in which Stack specialise and the first use of our TPMS in motorsport is expected next year".

Alan Rock, Managing Director of Stack said: "We are delighted to be working with Transense to exploit this exciting technology in motorsport".

"Tyre pressure monitoring and torque measurement are both crucial in motorsport and we have wanted to supply products in both these areas for a number of years".

"Until now, the available technologies have not met our requirements for withstanding the harsh demands of the motorsport environment".

"The Transense SAW technology with all its inherent advantages over existing products at last offers a suitable solution".
