Fleet ‘Stimulus Package’ Now Available

Pressure Systems International, along with Wirth Financial and Velociti, is offering a new “stimulus package” program for the trucking industry during the Technology & Maintenance Council’s annual meeting and transportation technology exhibition in Orlando, Florida. The MTIS Stimulus Package is a turn-key, buy four get one free retrofit program that will allow fleets to purchase four retrofit kits, including installation, directly from Velociti, for any axle combination and have an immediate 20 per cent savings on the cost of the MTIS by PSI product. Velociti will perform kit installations at fleet locations.

The entire product and labour cost of the package can be financed by Wirth Financial, and the fleet can pay for this retrofit right out of their existing tyre expense budget. For example, a 50-unit retrofit would have the company pay for 40 units and receive 10 free units with an estimated savings of $10,000. Wirth Financial will finance the entire amount for 36 months costing the fleet approximately $30.50 per month, per trailer. Longer payment options are also available.

In addition, fleets adding the Meritor Tire Inflation System to their trailers will experience ongoing savings due to better fuel economy, improved tyre wear characteristics and tire retreadability, a reduction in expensive roadside service calls and elimination of costs associated with manually checking tyre pressures. Fleets can visit www.psi-atis.com or www.ArvinMeritor.com to calculate their own ROI and expected savings based on their fleet size and operation. A free cost savings hand-held calculation wheel is available upon request from ArvinMeritor by calling 210-222-1926 x 230 and mentioning the stimulus package promotion.

“Every fleet is looking for ways to save money, but many are restricted in this tough economic environment by cash considerations to add technology to do that,” said Frank Sonzala, executive vice president of PSI. (Tire Review/Akron)
