Marangoni, SCTS TreadWare announce marketing agreement

Marangoni Tread North America has agreed to a co-operative marketing agreement with SCTS TreadWare.

Marangoni is continually trying to help independent retreaders reduce costs, increase productivity and improve quality, the company said. The partnership with TreadWare Retread Software System fits those criteria, Marangoni said.

The TreadWare software program can teach each tire’s progress throughout the retread process and was designed to address the unique needs of retread manufacturers, the company said. The software can be adapted to most current shop hardware and does not rely on an Internet connection for functionality.

Elements of the TreadWare system include personalized reports, fast work order entry, user-friendly screen design, ability to integrate “smart” devices and customizable tire labeling, TreadWare said.

Trucking companies, and the companies that develop the technology that moves them, are in a race toward zero emissions. While getting to "zero" is a long road, natural gas may be a good stop along the way. Buy how effective is natural gas a heavy-duty fuel option, in terms of combatting climate change? As part of its recent natural gas confidence report, the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) says natural gas has potential to help reduce total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. According to NACFE, natural gas also has advantages when it comes to reducing the more immediate and local health effects caused by air pollutants like Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM).
