\nSee how the the latest low-rolling-resistance truck tyres to cut fuel bills\u00a0at the Goodyear stand. The Goodyear FuelMax range has been making a name for\u00a0itself lately, not least as a result of having been specified by Daimler last year for the Mercedes-Benz truck\u00a0\u201cefficiency run\u201d.<\/p>\n
Peter Platje, Goodyear EMEA Director OE Sales Truck Tyres, said, \u201cThe results from Efficiency Run 2015 show\u00a0clearly that fleets can reduce their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by using equipment that is available on the\u00a0market today.<\/p>\n
\u201cSimply choosing low-rolling-resistance truck tyres can have a huge positive impact. Another example of this was\u00a0demonstrated by internal tests carried out by German fleet Spedition Bartkowiak. Their results confirmed a fuel-saving potential of up to 1.6 litres per 100 kilometers per truck with FuelMax tyres.\u201d<\/p>\n
