HUF: A Legacy of Precision Tire Pressure Monitoring

Huf Hülsbeck & Fürst is one of the automotive world's most respected names in tire pressure monitoring technology. Founded in 1908 in Velbert, Germany, Huf first supplied lock sets to Mercedes-Benz — and over a century later, the company has grown into a global leader in vehicle safety electronics. Huf specializes in mechanical and electronic key systems, lock sets, steering locks, remote control systems, and tire pressure monitoring systems.

Over the past 20 years, Huf Electronics Bretten has been producing tire pressure sensors for major automotive manufacturers all over the world. Huf is the OE supplier of direct measuring tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) to car manufacturers across Europe, USA, and Asia. Customers include Audi, Aston Martin, BMW, Bentley, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Mercedes Truck, Mini, Porsche, and Volkswagen — a roster that speaks volumes about the precision and reliability expected of every component Huf produces.

OEM Technology Available for the Aftermarket

What sets Huf apart is its ability to bring original equipment engineering directly to the independent aftermarket. Huf has developed the universal sensor "IntelliSens" for the independent aftermarket, which carries the same OE quality. IntelliSens is fitted directly to the valve and measures tire pressure and temperature from inside every tire, displaying this data on the dashboard — a method that is faster and more accurate than indirect ABS/ESP-based systems.

For technicians and enthusiasts looking to replace or service TPMS components, Huf offers a comprehensive ecosystem of products. Their TPMS Sensors are engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications. The sensors can handle temperatures between -40 and 150 degrees Celsius, as well as mechanical loads of up to 2000 G — performance levels demanded by sports car manufacturers at speeds over 300 km/h. Complementing the sensors, Huf's Tire Valve Stems and TPMS Valve Stems are designed to integrate seamlessly with their sensor lineup, ensuring a leak-free, precision fit on a wide range of wheel types.

Completing the service picture, Huf's TPMS Sensor Hardware Kits supply technicians with the nuts, caps, cores, and grommets needed for a proper installation — no improvising with generic hardware. And when it comes to programming and verification, Huf also offers a Diagnostic Scan Tool purpose-built for TPMS service, streamlining relearn procedures and sensor programming in the shop.
