TRIB to tout benefits of retreads at governmental fleet show

An exhibit hosted by the Tire Retread & Repair Information Bureau (TRIB) will be a part of the July 26-28 National Motor Vehicle and Aviation Training and Exposition (FedFleet 2011), produced by the General Services Administration in Orlando, Fla.

The event brings together more than 1,300 fleet management professionals within the federal government involved with the operation, maintenance and repair of some 600,000 motor vehicles worldwide, including more than 400,000 trucks, buses, ambulances and postal vehicles.

In addition to handing out materials explaining the retreading process, TRIB will be showing videos and distributing DVDs providing a tour of a retread plant as well as numerous testimonials from current government fleet managers about their positive experiences using retreaded tires.

The organization will also be reminding fleet managers about Executive Order 13149 and its mandate for federal fleets to choose environmentally preferable motor vehicle products, including retreaded tires.
