Goodyear launches EM Track III programme
Goodyear has launched EM Track III; an innovative tyre management programme that helps operators of earth movers and such vehicles to reduce their total cost of ownership.
Goodyear EM Track III is a Windows-based innovative service tool that records and makes available all tyre-related data applicable to any customer. Working with Goodyear specialists, this allows customers to ensure highly cost-effective tyre use.
“Tyres, especially those for heavy vehicles and machinery, are a significant investment. We believe that it is essential to support our customers in optimising the use of their tyres to minimise the Total Cost of Ownership,” said Martin McGloin Commercial Manager Goodyear Dunlop Ireland. “EM Track III is an innovative service offering that helps optimise tyre service life as well as helping with forecasting and budgeting.”
Goodyear´s EM Track III can track a tyre’s life from cradle to grave. The system records data including fleet details, tyre and rim fitments and service information such as inspections and tyre pressures. In addition the system allows the creation of specialised reports such as historic and forecast information about the tyre performance. This is available to both the end user and Goodyear OTR experts to ensure that maintenance is carried out as effectively and efficiently as possible as well as helping with budgeting and optimising tyre inventory.
When a new account is created, details of all the operator’s machines/vehicles as well as the tyres fitted and in stock are put on the EM Track III database. The machine information includes tyre-related operational data such as type of operation, speed, heat conditions, inflation pressures, axle configuration, operational hours and tyre fitments. This information is then used to manage a maintenance programme, which aims at optimising each individual tyre and thus helps keeping the total cost of ownership to a minimum. Goodyear´s EM Track III also helps customers to budget and optimise their tyre inventory. These features make EM Track III an innovative and powerful tool to manage OTR tyres. Goodyear´s philosophy is to offer high quality products supported by innovative solutions to help its OTR customers to optimise the total cost of ownership of their tyres. Based on this, Goodyear also offers customers the option of using EM Track III as their in-house OTR tyre management system.
