National Truck Protection Inc. (NTP), North America’s leading independent provider of extended service contracts to the trucking industry, announces the launch of a new comprehensive product for Class 8 trucks, named “PRIME”.

“PRIME was created to meet the growing demand for a full-featured, all-in-one warranty plan that simplifies the selection process, and at the same time provides great value to our customers,” said Robert Amico, president and CEO of National Truck Protection. This new warranty product was released through NTP’s wholly owned subsidiary, American Truck Protection, LLC (ATP). The ATP PRIME Plan offers comprehensive coverage for Engine, After-treatment, and Transmission & Rear differentials in a single product with multiple term lengths to choose from. Traditionally, After-treatment, Transmission & Rear Differentials, and advanced component coverage have been offered as separate add-ons to the base engine coverage. However, PRIME bundles these components into a single plan allowing for a comprehensive, all inclusive package that heightens affordability and ease of purchase.

The ATP PRIME plan covers 30 internally lubricated engine components as well as coverage for the ECM (Engine Control Module), Turbocharger(s) Fuel Injectors, Fuel Pump and Water Pump. PRIME offers coverage on 42 separate after-treatment components including BPV, EGR, DEP, DPF, DOC, SCR Doser Injectors/Valves, Sensors, ECU and After-treatment Wiring Harness. To round out the offering, PRIME includes coverage for the Transmission and Rear Differentials as well.

“Changes to the emission systems on heavy-duty diesel trucks have changed the dynamics of the cost of owning and operating these vehicles. NTP is responding to the market demand for high-value, comprehensive warranty products and PRIME is a great choice for our customers and an excellent addition to our product portfolio,” said Amico.

Truck owners will find that the PRIME package offers turn-key coverage on the components they want protected most. As the market demand for warranty coverage on used late-model commercial trucks continues to expand, the ATP PRIME warranty plan will be available at commercial truck dealers throughout the United States.
