Trico commercial
blades
With a drastically reduced inventory Australia's
commercial vehicle parc can now be serviced
with just seven wiper blades from Trico's new
Heavy Duty wiper blade range.
The release of this new (TBHD) range
means that a store or workshop will require just
seven heavy-duty genuine Trico commercial
blades ranging from 400 to 700mm to service
up to 95 percent of the trucks and light
commercial vehicles on our roads.
Bosch expands Asian range
Bosch is continuing to focus on expanding its Asian
range with the release of another five part numbers
to add to its current product offering.
These part numbers will supplement the first
units that were released for Asian applications
just over a year ago.
The new Bosch units have been built
specifically for Asian applications,
combining compact designs with high
levels of output and efficiency.
The new part numbers will include
starter motors for popular Australian
vehicles, including Mazda, Nissan and Ford
models and alternators suitable for several models
of Mitsubishi and Fords.
All units meet original equipment specifications and are manufactured using only the
highest quality components.
For more details on any product in the expanded Asian range of Bosch starters and alternators,
contact your local Bosch distributor or call the Bosch Customer Service Centre on
1300 307 040.
Using lateral thinking, two years of detailed
market research and the production of a range
of multi-fit adaptors, the long standing
headache for stockists of carrying more than
50 part number to service the Australasian
commercial wiper blade market has been
overcome by Trico.
Each wiper blade pack contains six highly
engineered adaptors including large and small
hooks; bayonet; pin on arm; pin on blade and
bridge applications.
The commercial Trico blades in the program
are manufactured to original equipment
specifications with 100 percent natural rubber
wiping inserts and the size range includes
popular 400, 450, 500, 560, 610, 650 and
700mm lengths.
To assist with the launch and to create an
attractive retail presence Trico will launch a
merchandiser (TRR-02) carrying two of each
blade plus two packs of universal length rubber
refills under part numbers TTR610-20 and
TTR710-10.
The blades and refill packs are also sold as
individual parts.
Available from leading automotive and
transport Trico stockists the new commercial
range will be welcome news for retailers and
fleet operators seeking to reduce inventory and
maximise sales and profitability.
