RELIABLE TIRE INFLATION TO KEEP YOU ROLLINGDual filtration eliminatesmoisture and contaminantsNo air lines inside the axles,so retrofitting is easyStandard ThermALERT warnsdrivers of overheating wheel endsRotary union is the only movingpart – less maintenanceHow MTIS WorksAir from the trailer air supply is routed to a central control box, then into each axle. The axles act as conduitsto carry air through a rotary union assembly, which distributes air to each tire as needed. (Periodic inspection isrequired. See MTIS Maintenance Manual 14P.)If you’re in the business of hauling freight, you knowthat every penny counts. And smart managers knowthat they have to watch every mile, every gallon, every1 /32" of tread and every minute of downtime. Runningon underinflated tires can be a major drain on allof these. Successful fleets use smart technology tohelp minimize their operating costs, which is whythe Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS ) is spec’don nearly one of every three trailers built today.MTIS harnesses your trailer’s existing air supply to keepyour tires fully inflated when your vehicle is in operation,helping to save you money and adding profit to yourbottom line.Costs of underinflation:Reduced tire tread lifeLower fuel economyTread separation (blowout)Roadside service callsInspection citations and fines

MTIS BENEFITSMTIS Features and BenefitsExtends tire life– Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration(FMCSA) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) studies show a 10 percent longer tire life withtire inflation systems– Underinflation negatively affects both new tiresand retreads– Continuous inflation prevents early retreading andreduces overall fleet tire costs– Helps preserve tire casing for maximum retreading Improves safety– Prevents underinflation, which is the leading causeof tire blowouts– Reduces the risk of road accidents caused byunderinflation Increases fuel economy– Proper tire pressure means better fuel economy– Proven 1.4 percent average improvement in fueleconomy per vehicle based on a FMCSA real-worldstudy on tire inflation systems Decreases fleet maintenance costs– Less time spent on manual pressure checkingand filling– Longer intervals between retreads– Delivers real-time warnings of tire issues Compatible with satellite communication services Reduces roadside assistance calls– In most cases, it keeps tires inflated until the driverreaches a maintenance location, which reducesservice calls and unplanned downtime– Reduces blowouts Provides over-the-road pressure maintenanceTire Footprint at 100 psi vs. 70 psiTire footprint and rolling resistance increase as inflation pressure decreases. Fuel economy drops up to 3.8 percentif a tire is underinflated by 30 psi.8¼" long at 70 psi18 percent more rubberon the road equals a3.8 percent decreasein fuel economy*7" long at 100 psiOptimum fuel economy* Laboratory testing performed by Standards Testing Laboratories, Massillon, Ohio
