Continental Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket has announced that its sales technical training specialist, Sean Lannoo, will join a team of TPMS experts at a special TPMS seminar during the 2018 SEMA Show called, “TPMS at 10.”
The educational event, which is sponsored by Tire Industry Association (TIA), will focus on “Understanding Original Equipment TPMS.” It will be held from 10-11 a.m. on Oct. 30 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall, S115.
Original equipment TPMS continues to evolve as the new car manufacturers find ways to improve technology and performance.
