Aftermarket Daily News Friday, November 2, 2018 5 8 New GroundSpeed Voyager MT Tire Sentury Tire's GroundSpeed tire family gets a tough new member with the addi- tion of the rugged Voyager MT. The com- pany's latest design joins a lineup of top- quality passenger vehicle, SUV, CUV and light truck tires, including reliable and well-priced choices for city, highway and all-terrain driving requirements. Designed and engineered to confi- dently churn through mud, over rocks and other off-road challenges, the Voyager MT is in its element regardless of terrain and weather. And, while its aggressive looks signal the MT's serious intent, an exclusive rubber compound also ensures that the tire delivers superi- or performance on the road to and from the trail. Like every GroundSpeed tire, the MT is manufactured to Sentury Tire's world-class specifications. It is available in a wide range of sizes and backed by Sentury Tire's Manufacturer Warranty. The new GroundSpeed Voyager MT features: a unique "self-cleaning" design that combines a balanced void ratio and special corner cut edges to effectively remove mud and dirt from the tread for continuous off-road trac- tion and smooth on-road handling; deep center sipes for excellent traction and reduced hydroplaning risk on wet or slick, snow-covered roads; deep-cut shoulder blocks with alternating cut- outs to reduce noise and to provide solid grip in muddy, sandy or snowy terrain, along with increased all-around off-road traction; aggressive wide-block Max Traction tread design for extreme mud and rock crawling, while retaining civil on-road driving performance; and, an equally aggressive sidewall design for preventing damage and delivering opti- mum grip during deep mud motoring and rock climbing. "The new Voyager MT adds a rugged new dimension to our GroundSpeed tire portfolio," said Mike Perkins, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Sentury Tire North America. "Our distributor and dealer partners can now confidently meet the full range of their customers' tire prefer- ences, including purpose-engineered tires for die-hard mudders and off-road adven- ture fans."

Mayhew Tools Launches New ProGrip Hook and Pick Product Line Mayhew Steel Products (Mayhew Tools) announces the launch of a new ProGrip Hook and Pick product line. The new line, featuring Mayhew's signature ProGrip handle, includes over 30 unique hooks and picks and 11 convenient sets, from miniature to heavy-duty and extra- long. The varying lengths, shapes and angle bends are uniquely designed for an array of industrial, automotive and hard- ware applications. All of the tools, including marking and hole-making picks, O-ring picks, trim tools and hose picks, consist of an alloy steel shank with black oxide finish to deter rust and are made in the USA. The ergonomic ProGrip handle, made of highly-resilient polypropylene with an over-molded thermoplastic elastomer soft grip, has two patented ribs around its neck to allow for maxi- mum transfer of torque from the hand to the tool and a slip-free grip when pushing or prying. Additionally, the rounded end rolls smoothly onto the heel of the palm, reducing friction and hand fatigue. All of the tools in the line are designed for easy access into tight spaces and provides necessary leverage in close-quarters to position, retrieve, remove parts or easily maneuver around obstacles that otherwise would be troublesome. Additional use applications include: marking or tracing crisp, accurate lines on work pieces; puncturing or enlarging holes in leather, canvas or wood; remov- ing O-rings, springs and spacers; extract- ing door panels and molding rivet fasten- ers without damage; positioning, installing, separating or removing of radiator, heater, vacuum or other trans- mission lines/hoses from fittings. About Mayhew Tools Mayhew Steel Products (Mayhew Tools), founded in 1856, is an ISO 9001- certified company and the oldest punch and chisel manufacturer in the United States. Headquartered in Turners Falls, the company's transition from a small tool house to industry leader comes as a direct result of their dedication, quality, reliability and craftsmanship.

Mitsubishi Electric Introduces Robust Driver Monitoring System Mitsubishi Electric, a leading manufac- turer of in-vehicle entertainment, navi- gation systems and advanced driver- assistance systems (ADAS) technolo- gies, announced that it has developed the first in-vehicle monitoring system with a single wide-angle camera to detect both the driver and front passen- ger simultaneously. Conventional in-vehicle monitoring systems generally use a single camera to analyze the driver's face for drowsiness or distraction. More recent imaging sys- tems monitor the driver as well as the front passenger, but require several cameras. Mitsubishi Electric has refined this concept by developing a technology that uses just one wide-angle camera to identify both the face and hand gestures of driver and front passenger. This allows OEMs to offer a range of safety and personalization features at a lower cost. "Monitoring both front-seat occu- pants not only lets us check driver-centric safety behavior, but also allows us to sup- port additional gesture inputs for in-cab systems such as climate control or audio," says Mark Vogel, Senior Product Development Manager at Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America. "Providing a mix of safety and convenience features within the same monitoring system is critical as the line between those disci- plines continue to blur." With features in development to monitor upper body position and detect slumping or collapsing, this technology may soon be able to identify medical emergencies, such as a heart attack or stroke. In such circumstances, the vehicle could take immediate action by dialing emergency services or even rerouting to a nearby hospital. Active safety monitoring systems like this will become especially important as we evolve toward the self- driving car.
