Goodyear Tyre Range “Most Efficient to Date”
28th September 2018
Goodyear claims its new full silica compound tyres can save a 100-vehicle fleet 290,000 euros in fuel costs and help truck manufacturers meet future emission targets.
FUELMAX PERFORMANCE – which the company calls its most fuel-efficient tyre range to date – was launched at IAA Commercial Vehicles 2018. The new tyres, which are the first Goodyear truck tyres to feature full silica tread compound technology, achieve EU tyre label grade ‘A’ for fuel efficiency and meet full Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake (3PMSF) winter tyre requirements. These tyres can enable dedicated long haul-fleets to optimise fuel savings, and assist truck makers to meet increasingly ambitious EU CO2 targets.
Two new Goodyear Proactive Solutions mobile phone APPs were also showcased, offering additional benefits to fleet managers and drivers. The combination of Goodyear Proactive Solutions and FUELMAX PERFORMANCE tyres are essential to optimise performance and further reduce total cost of ownership and emissions.
The new tyres anticipate proposed EU legislation to reduce Heavy Duty Vehicle CO2 emissions by 15% in 2025 and 30% by 20302.
