The new TRT Traction Air EM series, featuring three key areas of improvement, promises to empower fleet owners with unparalleled reliability, precision, and convenience.

Gavin Halley, general manager sales, TRT, says the benefits of TRT Traction Air are well-proven.

“If you want to reduce tyre wear, improve traction and safety through our GPS safety protocols, and reduce R&M on the overall vehicle by ensuring the right tyre pressure for the right terrain, then TRT Traction Air is the right fit for your Central Tyre Inflation requirements,” he says.

“The new TRT Traction Air EM series features a simplified and improved manifold design that optimises airflow and improves pressure distribution,” Gavin says.

“The innovative pressure cell design is 50% more compact than the existing model, allowing for enhanced installation flexibility in tight spaces.”

“Built for environmental extremes, the manifold design and the high-flow valves were specifically chosen to meet the rigorous demands of minus-35°C degrees in Scandinavia, yet cope with the 40°C-plus degree demands of the Australian outback,” Gavin says. “The anodised coating of the aluminium manifold ensures protection against salt roads and other environmental hazards.”

Gavin says the advanced manifold design eliminates internal plumbing inside the pressure cell.

“There are no hoses or fittings within the cell, which significantly strengthens the longevity and reliability,” he says.

“Put simply, it is the most reliable and advanced system we have ever developed.”

Features include:

  • Simplified and improved manifold design that optimises airflow and improves pressure distribution.
  • The innovative pressure cell design is 50% more compact than the existing model, allowing for enhanced installation flexibility in tight spaces.
  • Housed in a robust yet lightweight composite cover, providing the necessary protection against environmental elements without adding unnecessary weight to your vehicle.
  • LCD touch screen with adjustable backlight or DIN-mounted ECU to fit most radio slots.
  • Single Channel and Multi-Channel options, capable of running different pressures from front to rear on multi-channel applications.
  • Simplified and improved manifold design.
  • Additional input/output for future-proof connections such as telematics.

TRT welcomes back familiar face

Craig Burton has rejoined the TRT team as the new national sales representative for the company’s TRT Traction Air CTI system.

Having previously spent over 10 years at TRT, with more than nine years selling, installing and growing TRT Traction Air, Craig lands with his feet running and with a product he is totally familiar with.

Craig left in 2021 to work closer to his native Morrinsville. But when the opportunity opened up this year to work with TRT Traction Air again, he jumped at it.

“TRT Traction Air is a product I am really passionate about,” says Craig.

“The new variant, the EM series, is groundbreaking, and I’m really excited about it. It has some great features, and I’m keen to get out there and show our customers what it can do for their businesses.”

Craig says he is happy to be back on familiar turf, working with a product and a team he believes in.

“I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with our customers and colleagues, and introducing myself to new ones,” he says.
