Bus/Coach Market
TROY,
Mich., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Meritor, Inc.
(NYSE: MTOR) today announced the launch of its ProTec™
Independent Front Suspension (IFS) for motorcoach applications. The
new IFS MIS-20E is Meritor's first
suspension specifically designed for the ride quality and heavy
load requirements of motorcoaches. Based on field-proven
technology, this product is Meritor's first fully integrated
suspension and steering system made to be a drop-in replacement for
bus and coach manufacturers.
"The ProTec IFS will deliver the same level of confidence,
performance and reliability for the bus and coach industry that
military operators have realized from our ProTec solutions over the
last two decades," said Christina
Simon, senior director of Industrial Product Development for
Meritor. "This solution addresses market demand for premium ride
quality, ease of maintenance and outstanding reliability."
The ProTec IFS features a gross axle weight rating (GAWR) of up
to 20,000 pounds and twin tube performance dampers for control and
comfort while providing exceptional overall tire life. It is also
equipped with Meritor components to ensure commonality and
availability of aftermarket parts including the same bevel-gear hub
wheel-ends featured on the U.S. military's Joint Light Tactical
Vehicle (JLTV) program vehicles and EX+™ L air disc brakes for
excellent stopping power and brake life. For more information
