Accuride Corporation Introduces Highway Original All-Makes Fuel Tank Program

EVANSVILLE, Ind.--Today, Accuride Corporation (OTCBB: AURD) announced the availability of a Highway Original branded fuel tank program.

“Accuride developed the Highway Original brand as a channel through which we could bring to market OEM quality products geared toward the commercial vehicle aftermarket,” said Rick Schomer, Accuride’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “Highway Original fuel tanks are a prime example of the type of products the industry can expect to see from this brand in the future.”

Highway Original fuel tanks are manufactured using OEM grade aluminum with automated seam welds and are certified to meet all federal safety standards. Designed to fit all major OEM applications, Highway Original fuel tanks are available in standard sizes from 50 – 150 gallons.

Through the brand’s website, www.highwayoriginal.com, customers can access an online configurator to build fuel tanks to custom specifications.

“The on-line configurator allows customers to select customization options such as capacity, diameter, finish, and position of the draw/return and fill neck location to allow for easy mounting and unobstructed access to the fill neck,” added Schomer. “On the flip-side, we also stock more than 40 of the most popular standard tank configurations at our Indianapolis Distribution Center. These tanks can be ordered through our fuel tank express program and added to other Accuride product as part of mixed load shipments, saving customers freight expenses and reducing their on-site inventory.”
