  1. NITROGEN TIRE PRESSURE • MAINTENANCE PROGRAM • FOR GOVERNMENT FLEET EXPO

  2. Why Use Nitrogen? The Problem is Under Inflation • 40% of passenger cars and 45% of trucks/suv/vans have at least one tire that is under inflated by 6% (National Highway Transportation Safety Commission) • As many as 85% of motorists do not check their tire pressure properly. (Rubber Manufacturers Association, February 2003 Survey)

  3. Why Use Nitrogen? Under Inflation Causes Energy & Safety Issues • US can save 4 MM gal/day of gas by properly inflating tires- US Department of Energy • Improve gas mileage by around 3.3 percent by keeping tires inflated to the proper pressure- DOE & EPA website • Fuel efficiency reduced by ~1% for every 3 psi of under inflation- NHTSA • About 90% of tire failures causing tire road debris is caused by underinflation - TMC Tire Air Pressure Study, May 2002

  4. Fact : N2 Permeates SlowerRetains Tire Pressure Longer Oxygen leakage rate is 4 times that of Nitrogen Tire Rubber Wall Tire Outside Nitrogen Molecules Oxygen Molecules Tire Inside N2 Permeability (cm3 STP-cm/(cm2-sec-cm Hg)): 0.32E-10 O2 Permeability (cm3 STP-cm/(cm2-sec-cm Hg)): 1.3E-10

  5. What Can Nitrogen Do For Your Fleet? • Improves fuel efficiency by 2 - 6% • Lowers Carbon emissions 20 lbs/gal. of fuel • Lowers annual tire expense by 20% • Improves fleet safety • Low investment / High return

  6. Nitrogen & Federal Block Grant Energy Efficiency & Cleaner Environment • Reduce Fuel Consumption • Reduce Smog Emissions • Reduce Greenhouse Gases • Reduce pressure on our landfills
