NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --  Meritor^® MTOR announced today at the Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) 2016 Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition that it is extending warranty coverage for its optional AxlePak7™ on-highway trailer wheel-ends to seven years.

Beginning this spring, fleets can specify AxlePak7 wheel-ends on their Meritor axles and suspensions, and enjoy seven-year Meritor warranty coverage on these components:

• Hubs, bearings, seals, hubcaps and spindle nuts
• Thru-tees and stators for Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS™) by P.S.I., when the MTIS option is selected in conjunction with AxlePak7

"Fleets are looking for ways to reduce maintenance costs and extend service life, and trailer wheel-ends are critical to their need for longer-life components," said Brett Penzkofer, vice president and general manager, Trailer for Meritor. "We listened to our customers and are offering AxlePak7 to help them get even more value from their Meritor wheel-ends."

AxlePak7 features premium wheel-end components assembled by Meritor's automated precision-assembly equipment. The wheel-end offers fleets a choice of ductile iron or optional aluminum hubs, along with premium long-life wheel seals, spindle nuts and synthetic, semifluid grease.
