Canton, MI, March 16, 2009 – Motor Wheel Commercial Vehicle Systems, Inc. (Motor Wheel CVS), a Precision Partners, Inc. company, is proud to announce its latest product introduction, CentriFuse® Plus Long Life / Severe Service Brake Drums. Currently available in 16.5” x 7” for Axle Load Ratings up to 26,000 lbs, this long life, severe service brake drum weighs about 25 lbs. less than heavy duty full cast and carries the industry’s only 10-Year written warranty.

Carrying on the CentriFuse reputation, the new CentriFuse Plus brake drums are proven to lower maintenance costs AND reduce vehicle weight, offering your fleet increased fuel efficiency and more revenue-producing payload.
