Meritor (Meritor, Inc.) has introduced the ThermALERT® wheel-end thermal sensing system as a standard feature in its MTS tire inflation and deflation system (MTIS) starting from October 2017. This innovative technology is designed to detect overheating at the wheel end, significantly enhancing vehicle safety and reducing unplanned downtime. By alerting drivers to potential issues, ThermALERT helps prevent costly repairs and minimizes the need for frequent axle or suspension replacements.
The system works by activating a warning light when the wheel temperature exceeds safe limits. This early detection allows drivers to take necessary actions, ensuring safer operations and reducing the risk of tire failure. The integration of ThermALERT into the MTIS system not only improves driver confidence but also supports fleet operators in maintaining lower operational costs.
Rob Speed, President of Aftermarket & Trailer at Meritor, emphasized that this addition ensures safer parking procedures and reduces potential risks on the road. With ThermALERT incorporated into the MTIS, Meritor is committed to supporting public transportation safety while helping fleets reduce maintenance expenses. Additionally, the system contributes to improved fuel efficiency and compliance with environmental regulations.
Meritor offers a five-year warranty on the ThermALERT system, which is among the best in the industry and comes without additional fees. As the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enforces stricter fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards for truck and trailer manufacturers starting in 2018, solutions like MTIS help automakers meet these requirements effectively. This advancement highlights Meritor's ongoing commitment to innovation, safety, and sustainability in the commercial vehicle sector.
