TRICO announced that it has been chosen to supply Toyota’s Optifit wiper blade range, supplied as Original Equipment replacements throughout its main dealer network using TRICO’S Hybrid Blades.

TRICO is celebrating it centenary this year under the banner ‘century of seeing you through’. The company says news on Toyota comes after the Japanese automotive manufacturer was particularly impressed with the quality of design and manufacture of TRICO hybrid blades. TRICO says on average, the TRICO Hybrid Blade weighs more than 40% less than the existing original equipment Uni-Blade, as well as boasting a memory curve spring steel beam and variable curvature which provides uniform pressure along the blade length for a clean, clear wipe.

The wiper specialist also points out that the Hybrid also features ‘Best in Class’ proprietary Z7 coating to reduce friction, while the natural synthetic rubber compound wiping element ensures a longer service life. As well as this the blades are suitable for all four seasons, tackling the tough low temperatures of Winter and resisting permanent set in the warm conditions of Summer.
