Titan to launch VPO™ Technology at Equip Expo 2024
Rhea-AI Summary
Titan International Inc. (NYSE: TWI) and its recently acquired Carlstar Group are launching their Variable Pressure Operation (VPO™) Technology at Equip Exposition 2024 in Louisville, Kentucky. VPO offers a flat-proof alternative to tweel wheels, allowing machinery to operate at various inflation pressures, even down to zero psi.
Key features of VPO Technology include:
- Shock-absorbing properties for enhanced operator comfort
- Flat-proof design for increased durability
- Closed sidewall to prevent debris-related issues
- Exceptional reliability, with tires running hundreds of miles at zero pressure
- Versatility for various applications without tire changes
The technology is paired with the new Invictus tread pattern, offering balanced traction, self-cleaning capabilities, and improved heat dissipation. Originally developed for military use, VPO Technology has been adapted for consumer applications after extensive testing with Polaris.

VPO offers a high-performing, durable alternative to tweel wheels
"We first developed this technology for military applications. It has since been tested extensively with Polaris and is now adapted for consumer use," said Chris Daum, General Manager of Outdoor Power Equipment at Titan. "We put a lot of thought and passion into the product design with function at the forefront — it's cool, aggressive-looking appearance is a bonus."
Zero psi advantage
The impressive pressure adjustability of VPO Technology allows operators to optimize performance and longevity by adapting the inflation pressure to suit different terrains and applications. With this flat-proof technology an operator can focus on getting work done with less stress about flats and down-time.
Additional features of VPO Technology include:
- Shock-absorbing properties — which minimize whole-body vibration, enhancing operator comfort and reducing fatigue.
- Flat-proof design — unlike traditional bias or radial tires, VPO Technology is specifically designed to be flat-proof or zero psi-capable, which significantly increases durability.
- Closed sidewall — prevents debris from getting stuck between the spokes, eliminating sidewall damage, balance issues, and other handling problems.
- Exceptional reliability — extensive testing has shown that tires equipped with VPO Technology can run for hundreds of miles at 30 mph with zero pressure.
- Built for various applications — allowing operation with or without large attachments while using the same set of tires, unlike other tires that must be changed based on application.
When coupled with VPO Technology, the new Invictus tread pattern provides:
- Balanced traction
- Self-cleaning capabilities
- Better wet traction
- Improved heat dissipation
- Evenly distributed ground pressure
- Enhanced traction and self-cleaning due to split lugs.
