• Toyo has released a new 425/65R22.5 size for its M320 wide base super single tire. The tire is designed for on/off highway use, in applications such as dump trucks, concrete mixers and refuse trucks. The M320 features large tread blocks with functional sipes and three wide zig-zag grooves to improve traction. The tire has a long life due to an optimized casing profile, which minimizes growth of the tread area while maintaining a more uniform and flatter tread radius during its service life. In addition to providing endurance in its design construction, the M320 can also be retreaded. For more information on Toyo’s line of commercial

Proheat Air Heaters are designed to help truck drivers and fleets significantly reduce engine idling fuel consumption while helping comply with anti-idling regulations. Proheat Air is a diesel-powered air heater that supplies heat for in-cab driver comfort during cold weather. Available in either 2-or 4-kW models, the heater reduces fuel consumption by up to 95% compared to engine idling, while supplying heat more quietly and efficiently. Proheat Air includes a remotely mounted control panel with digital display. The control panel incorporates advanced timers that allow drivers to start Proheat Air at a specific time so the truck is warm when they arrive. More information is available at www.teleflexpower.com.
