By Mark Longden

RL Automotive is granted a patent for its AutoAlign real time wheel misalignment detection system.

Align will significantly reduce excess vehicle emissions in both fuel (or EV energy) and tyre particulates.

1 degree misalignment costs UK plc per annum: 7% in extra airborne tyre particles; 3% in extra fuel (1.2bn litres); 30,000 extra truck tyres; 15,000 van tyres; 500,000 car tyres with a CO2 production cost of 30m tons
