National Press Release

LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ArvinMeritor, Inc (NYSE: ARM) today announced a suite of Meritor(R) blended learning(1) programs for 2009 incorporating self-guided online learning, virtual classroom webinars, and on-site instruction. Based on customer feedback, the training programs are designed to provide the broadest possible menu of practical learning experiences for heavy-duty truck operators and technicians, as well as dealers and distributors.

The programs were announced here at the Mid-America Trucking Show.

"We have an incredible catalog of training materials and the most technically prepared and experienced District Managers (field sales and service representatives) in the North American marketplace," said Rick Martin, manager-Training, Commercial Vehicle Systems, ArvinMeritor. "Our blended learning approach allows customers to tap into both areas, creating the mix of course content and delivery methods that make sense for them."

The Meritor blended learning program is comprised of three elements:

    --  Web-based Technical Training: ArvinMeritor offers more than 100 free
        online seminars covering the use and preventive maintenance of the
        company's products for commercial trucks, trailers, buses, and
        coaches. Detailed courses for technicians cover diagnostic and repair
        procedures, while courses for dealer and aftermarket parts personnel
        highlight the features and benefits of all the latest products. The
        programs are available any time at http://training.meritorhvs.com and
        take only 30 to 45 minutes to complete, making them cost-effective and
        convenient for in-house training and refreshers.
    --  Instructor-led Training: The company's District Managers across
        North America share their expertise and techniques through face-to-face
        support and hands-on instruction. Designed for service technicians,
        managers, and train-the-trainer programs for dealers, fleets, and OEMs,
        these comprehensive, personalized workshops are available at the
        customer's site or at selected locations/cities across North
        America. To request Instructor-led Training, visit
        http://training.meritorhvs.com.
    --  Virtual Classroom Webinars: These are live sessions where the presenter
        and the audience interact over the internet, using video, sound, and
        graphics to enhance the training experience without the time and
        resources involved with sending personnel to a seminar off-site. Topics
        can include service updates, sales training, product information, and
        more. ArvinMeritor archives Virtual Classroom Webinars so they can be
        viewed later if participants want to review material or miss a session.
        For information about Virtual Classroom Webinars, visit

        Classrooms."

In 2008, the company delivered online courses to more than 12,500 people and provided personal instruction to more than 9,000 people. "Customers have embraced a mix of online and personal training because it delivers the learning experience they want," said Martin.

"Whether it's at the technician level, parts counter, or end user, our blended learning programs set a new standard for customer and product support. It's a great way to share our expertise and stay connected with the people who use, maintain, and in the case of dealers and distributors, sell Meritor products."

The Meritor blended learning program also includes Literature on Demand (LOD), which offers comprehensive product information, technical bulletins, and maintenance manuals at ArvinMeritor's website (www.arvinmeritor.com).
