PHILADELPHIA — PIT Group has opened an office in Atlanta, the Canadian engineering and research group announced here Oct. 19 at American Trucking Associations’ Management Conference & Exhibition.
“With the continual need to improve competitiveness and the increase in environmental compliance restrictions, the demand for green technologies has never been stronger," PIT Group Director Yves Provencher said Oct. 19. Our U.S. office will enable us to offer the level of service and experience we’ve been providing Canadian fleets and that U.S. fleets expect."
“Larger carriers view us as a seamless extension to their engineering teams, whereas smaller carriers consider us their entire engineering department," he added. "Bottom line, we have no agenda other than to certify and implement the best and most fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies in North America."
