Parker Hannifin Joins Get Nitrogen Institute to Promote N2 Tire Inflation

Parker Hannifin Corporation has joined the Get Nitrogen Institute, a non-profit organization formed in 2005 to promote the use of nitrogen rather than air in filling tires. (Costco, the first retailer to offer nitrogen in its tire centers throughout North America, is a sponsor of the Institute.)

The use of nitrogen in tires offers two main benefits: the maintenance of a consistent inflation pressure over longer periods of time and longer tire life. Those lead to improvements in fuel efficiency of up to 4% compared to vehicles running on underinflated or degraded tires.
