ArvinMeritor and Pressure Systems International Inc (PSI) of San Antonio TX have agreed to a new long-term collaborative arrangement to continue marketing and distributing automatic tire inflation systems. All key global commercial vehicle markets are included in the arrangement, first established in 1999.

Nearly 2 million Meritor Tire Inflation Systems (MTIS) have been sold since the two firms signed the original agreement. The system automatically monitors and maintains consistent air pressure in heavy-duty trailer tires, helping to decrease tire blowouts and reduce tire maintenance costs.
