LOS ANGELES--Nov. 11, 2011: Southern California Edison, Inc. (SCE), one of the largest electric utilities in California serving more than 14 million people in a 50,000 square-mile area of central, coastal and Southern California, and Inovex Industries, Inc., the manufacturer of Ride-On Tire Protection System (TPS), the only proven high-speed tire balancer and tire sealant , announce SCE's intention to install Ride-On TPS CHS formula into a test fleet in Alhambra, CA. "We are excited by the opportunity to work with an elite company like Southern California Edison," says Mark Farkhan, CEO of Inovex. "They are deeply committed to environmental protection and it's an honor to become one of their key initiatives to help slim their carbon footprint while increasing their fleet's efficiency."

SCE is a company that knows a lot about "Green Building." They are currently designing and building a new facility in Southwest Riverside County that will be Leadership in Energy Efficiency and Environmentally Design or LEED-certified. As a company that is fully committed from a top down level in protecting the environment, SCE saw in Ride-On a way to immediately make an impact. Ride-On improves vehicle fuel efficiency by (1-3% mpg), and extends tire life by up to 25% all while decreasing downtime associated with flat tires through sealing punctures in the crown area of the tire. Says Farkhan, "People don't realize that it takes 22 gallons of oil to make a single truck tire. Each year in America over 300,000 million tires are put into the ground. If every vehicle used Ride-On that number could be reduced by 25%. That is 75 million less tires going into the ground every year. That's not an insignificant number."
