According to Hendrickson, the enhanced ROI calculator is designed to provide a user-friendly interface for determining the potential savings a customer could achieve by specifying TIREMAAX PRO, an advanced tire pressure control system. With Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Phase 2 regulations taking effect on trailers in 2018, many trailer OEMs will begin installing tire pressure systems as standard. Hendrickson says this interactive tool is ideal for customers that want to take an active role in understanding the payback and value of a tire pressure control system like TIREMAAX PRO.
“It is now more important than ever for fleets to truly understand their total cost of ownership. Tires are not only one of the most important maintenance components on a trailer, but also one of the most expensive. Our new ROI calculator demonstrates that TIREMAAX PRO will quickly pay for itself and provides a convenient report summarizing the savings,” says Matt Wilson, director of Hendrickson Controls Business Unit.
Hendrickson says payback will play a crucial role in a customer’s decision-making process when calculating the impact of various reduced emission technologies. TIREMAAX PRO not only provides savings from increased fuel economy, but also reduced maintenance and reduced roadside calls, the company says.
