OrdinIQ has recently announced the launch of AutoPump, a portable cordless air compressor designed to address widespread tyre maintenance challenges for UK car drivers. The device delivers 150 PSI output through a 3900mAh rechargeable battery and features an auto-shut-off function that prevents overinflation by stopping automatically once the desired pressure is reached.

The AutoPump's specifications respond directly to the safety and convenience concerns highlighted by the gap between awareness and action among British motorists. TyreSafe reports that Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) casualties in Great Britain are often linked with illegal, defective, or under-inflated tyres.

Yet despite the risks, data from Swansway Motor Group indicates that 75% of UK drivers fail to regularly check their tyre pressure - with 9% admitting they never check it at all. Vehicles are potentially left vulnerable to handling failures, extended braking distances, and increased accident risk as a direct result.

In response, OrdinIQ notes that AutoPump is compatible with cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and other inflatables, operating through a simple three-step process: power on, connect the hose, and allow the auto-shut-off feature to complete the inflation. The device includes adapters for Schrader and Presta valves along with needle and general pump attachments, enabling easy usage across a range of applications without the need for mechanical expertise.

Industry experts emphasise that regular tyre pressure checks are vital for road safety and vehicle performance - with tyres generally losing up to two pounds of air per month. Experts also stress a connection between correctly inflated tyres and fuel efficiency, with low tyre pressure increasing drag and fuel consumption.

Accordingly, OrdinIQ’s AutoPump addresses a perceived disconnect between awareness of tyre safety and the reality of driver neglect by providing a tool designed for accessibility and ease of use.

Allowing for enhanced safety, legal compliance, and cost savings, the AutoPump further removes logistical and technical barriers to help UK drivers perform tyre checks more conveniently. Overall, OrdinIQ aims to make tyre maintenance a practical and achievable routine for motorists who have historically relied on faraway petrol station pumps - or neglected their checks altogether.
