Statistics show that North America takes up 39% of the global tire gauge market, with Europe and the Asia-Pacific region following closely behind. The sales of tire gauge are directly proportional to car sales.
This time, our tire gauge design aims to attract consumers up the higher market. North America will be our major battle and we will develop our design concept based on the shapes of American muscle cars.
Currently, there are two types of tire gauge on the market: Mechanical and digital. They come in similar styles and look so complicated they seem to require professional knowledge to use them.
The structure of a standard tire gauge comprises a handle, a round gauge, and an air hose. What’s interesting is that even though digital tire gauges can actually do without the round gauge used in traditional mechanical tire gauges, they still adopt the round shape.
Shorter trigger stroke requires greater effort to actuate the tire gauge. The design of the handle should be ergonomic to provide comfort.
The frame of the gauge that displays pressure readings should be easy to read and should not hinder hand movement.
DESIGN OBJECTIVES
- The handle should be ergonomic in order to provide comfort.
- Big gauge frame that is easy to read.
- The unconventional shape that makes the tire gauge more recognizable.
- Reduce exposed components to streamline the appearance.
