The Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS) is good for the environment, according to its manufacturer, Pressure Systems International (PSI), and the product is going green to remind customers of that. The product is now being shipped with a green Thru-T and green striped delivery hoses. This color coding is indicative of the environmental benefits, namely the 1.8 percent fuel economy increase offered by properly inflated tires, according to the company and a U.S. government study. The company said by keeping tires properly inflated also helps provide more reusable casings for better retreading.

Pressure Systems International (PSI) said it has begun shipping the Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS) to its OEM customers with a new green Thru-T and green striped delivery hoses to illustrate the true environmentally friendly benefits of the product.
