Meritor and Pressure Systems International announce creation of 1-millionth Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS)

Meritor, Inc. and Pressure Systems International (P.S.I.) celebrated a milestone recently when the 1-millionth Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS) by P.S.I. rolled off the assembly line.

As part of the celebration, 31 different trailers from Meritor’s fleet customers will be equipped with a part from the 1-millionth MTIS by P.S.I. The finished milestone unit was unpackaged and disassembled into different components, which were incorporated into 31 units coming off the line and will be installed by seven key OEM manufacturers.

"In 1993, it would have been impossible to measure the impact an automatic tire inflation system would have on the trucking industry. The fact that now over one million systems have been produced is a true testament to the safety and environmental impact automatic tire inflation systems are having on transportation,” said American Trucking Association President and CEO Bill Graves, keynote speaker at the recent celebration.

“More than thirty trailers will travel the continent equipped with the MTIS by P.S.I system containing a part from the 1-millionth system,” said Brett Penzkofer, vice president and general manager, Trailer. “MTIS by P.S.I is the preferred automatic tire inflation system among fleets due to its durability, reliability and overall simplicity. It’s an exceptional product that has been bringing great value to them for the last 23 years.”
