Accuride adds ROI calculator to mobile app

Accuride Corporation- a leading supplier of components to the North American and European commercial vehicle industries - announced it has launched two new marketing tools to help customers understand the performance, specifications, value and return on investment (ROI) of its wheel and brake drum products. The new, easy-to-use Lightweight ROI Calculator - available on Accuride’s website and mobile application - helps fleet operators determine their potential cost savings from making a switch to Accuride products from competing or legacy products. Accuride also published the 2016 edition of its popular Accuride Wheels Product Catalog. The updated catalog includes two new 22.5 x 9.00 lightweight aluminum wheels and Accuride’s proprietary EverSteel™ coating technology. EverSteel™ is the industry’s first-ever application for steel wheels to carry a warranty against corrosion.

The weight savings possible from lightweight Accuride wheels and Gunite® brake drums can help fleets save fuel, lower maintenance costs, extend tire life and increase payload capacity. With the new calculator, users can quickly estimate the potential cost benefits to their fleet by switching to high-quality, lightweight Accuride wheels and Gunite brake drums. The calculations are based on the real-world requirements of the customer’s fleet, including fleet type, region of operation, number of truck and trailer units, number of axles, component type and more. It estimates fuel savings and additional payload potential using Accuride wheels, Gunite brake drums and both products combined.

Accuride’s mobile app made its debut in 2015, placing the features and functionality of the Accuride website into a user-friendly interface for iOS (iPhones/iPad), Android and other mobile devices. The Accuride mobile app provides customers with a helpful, easy-to-use resource for information on Accuride’s wheels and wheel end components. The app makes it easy to find the ideal component for each customer’s unique application. The app’s new Lightweight ROI Calculator puts the value of Accuride’s products in the palm of your hand.
