The Halo Tire Inflator® from Aperia Technologies is now available in Australia through AerOX. We caught up with Mostafa Darwiche, Director at AerOX, and team at Megatrans in 2022. We discussed how they are helping transport companies reduce greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on fuel and maintenance efficiencies through innovative products that can be seamlessly integrated.
We were amazed to see how simple the Halo system is and how quickly it can be fitted to vehicles to provide instant improvements in tyre wear and a reduction in fuel costs.
Through its partnership with Aperia Technologies, AerOx introduced the Halo Tire Inflator to Don Watson Transport & Coldstores, a quality local, regional, and interstate refrigerated distribution service with refrigerated distribution centers in Melbourne, Wodonga, Sydney, and Brisbane.
“We decided to deploy Halo in April, and we are quite pleased with the results,” said Lyndon Watson, CEO of Don Watson Transport & Coldstores. “One reason we chose Halo is its rigorous use on the road and ability to reduce operating costs. Based on our test results, we’ve decided to make Halo a standard spec for all future truck purchases.”
“We’re seeing a global systemic shift to evaluate best business practices to reduce carbon emissions, and having a global presence with Halo fulfills our promise to make a difference with our technology,” said Judith Monte, Vice President of Marketing & Client Success at Aperia Technologies.
Having AerOx in place throughout the region helped cement Aperia Technologies’ commitment to expanding into Australia.
“The ability to train, deliver service parts, check in with clients and answer questions are all essential elements of our customers’ journeys with us, and we need those elements in place to enter into a new region,” continued Monte. “When we created Halo technology over a decade ago, our goal was to create autonomous technology to fill the gap in the global industry while ensuring a lasting environmental benefit. North American fleets have benefited from over 50 billion miles of driving with Halo. Expanding internationally brings us closer to that goal.”
Halo Tire Inflator is a revolutionary automatic tire inflation system for trucks and trailers that installs in minutes. Combined with the company’s predictive and prescriptive tire management platform, Halo Connect®, users virtually eliminate unplanned tire-related downtime.
