ArvinMeritor Joins TRIB

ArvinMeritor has become the latest member of the Tire Retread Information Bureau (TRIB). Based in Troy, Michigan, ArvinMeritor Commercial Vehicle Systems business unit serves the commercial truck and trailer and specialty original equipment manufacturers and related aftermarkets. The company also produces the Meritor Tire Inflation System.

“We felt membership in TRIB would be most beneficial,” said D Mike Pennington, senior director-global marketing communications, ArvinMeritor.

“The organisation does great work and is a strong advocate of tyre maintenance, a crucial element to increasing tyre life, fuel efficiency and safety, and to keeping vehicles on the road generating revenue,” he went on. “Those are among the reasons that our Meritor Tire Inflation System by PSI has been so well accepted by motor carriers.”

“The single most critical factor for getting the most out of tyres is maintaining the proper inflation pressure for a given tyre size and load,” said Harvey Brodsky, managing director TRIB. “Tyres not only last longer, but are safer, and they are more retreadable.”

“We are delighted that ArvinMeritor has joined the ranks of TRIB,” added Mr Brodsky. They, along with our other members, recognise that TRIB’s efforts to promote proper tyre maintenance, tyre repair and tyre retreading benefit the entire trucking industry and motoring public.”

With the addition ArvinMeritor, TRIB now has more than 440 members in 32 countries.
