Growing popularity of portable car pumps: how modern devices ensure the safety and comfort of drivers

2025-05-30

Moscow, May 23, 2025 - In the face of growing traffic and changing climatic conditions, more and more drivers prefer portable car pumps as an important element of the basic safety kit in the car. According to the analytical agency AvtoTrend, in 2024, the demand for compact electric pumps in Russia increased by 35% compared to the previous year.

Portable pumps of the new generation are characterized by high power, accurate pressure adjustment and ease of use. Modern models are equipped with digital displays, automatic shutdown when the preset pressure is reached and a memory function. This makes them indispensable both for daily operation of the car and on long trips.

"Previously, the car pump was considered an auxiliary device that was used only in emergency situations. Today it is a mandatory attribute in the trunk of any caring motorist," says car expert Dmitry Troshin.

Such devices are especially relevant in winter. When the temperature decreases, the tire pressure naturally decreases, which can affect the handling of the car and fuel consumption. Fast tire pumping using a portable compressor allows you to quickly restore the optimal pressure without contacting the tire fitting.

New models such as the SH03 or KF03 have been praised by consumers for their compact size, quiet operation and versatility. Some devices allow you to inflate not only car tires, but also balls, mattresses, bicycles and even motorcycles.

It is also worth noting that manufacturers focus on safety: most pumps have built-in protection against overheating, automatic shutdown and even moisture protection according to the IPX4 standard and above. In unpredictable Russian weather, such characteristics become critical.

Experts recommend paying attention to the following parameters when choosing a pump:

  • maximum pressure (not less than 150 PSI),

  • the presence of hitchhiking mode,

  • length of cable and hose,

  • continuous work time,

  • power supply (built-in battery or power from a cigarette lighter).

Given the development of technology and increasing availability, portable car pumps in the coming years, according to analysts, can completely replace the classic foot or hand pumps.
