<\/p>\nTemperature-sensitive goods transporter Ludwig Meyer GmbH & Co. has entered a Goodyear Total Mobility partnership that will combine the tyre manufacturer’s latest generation of fuel efficient tyres, predictive digital solutions and the support of the pan-European service network TruckForce.<\/p>\n
\u201cPunctuality and uptime are key in our operations. Particularly in the case of temperature-controlled transportation, any downtime of a vehicle may entail significant follow-up costs.\u201d said Christopher Steyer, head of fleet and project management at Meyer Logistik.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One building block of the value proposition is Goodyear TPMS, a data based tyre pressure monitoring system which combines advanced telematics – including a patented predictive technology. The use of Goodyear TPMS provides the fleet with an important advantage as the sensors provide real-time data on tyre temperature and air pressure, so that pressure loss can be detected and corrected before the vehicle encounters any issues. Unique to Goodyear TPMS is a predictive analysis technology called ‘G-Predict’, the in-house developed algorithms analyse the potential risk related to low air pressure, air loss or other tyre damage.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, the system sends a warning message to the fleet manager, enabling them to take proactive maintenance action.<\/p>\n
Meyer Logistik\u00a0has also opted for the Goodyear on-road tyre range and is working with select partners within the TruckForce network. The location and assistance level given by the service providers are precisely tailored to the needs of the fleet. The highly qualified TruckForce technicians support the entire tyre management at Meyer Logistik and conduct a quarterly fleet check at the different fleet depots. As part of the new contract, they also install the hardware for the Goodyear TPMS on the trailers and mount the dedicated Kmax tyres optimised for mileage.<\/p>\n
Whatever the delivery location, and whether summer, winter, day or night – the performance of the Goodyear Kmax Gen-2 range, mounted by Steyer, master demanding conditions. Most delivery journeys start from food terminals to well-known retailers, including many with downtown locations. This means impact by curb stones, for example, are part of the daily journeys. In addition to high damage resistance, the longevity of the tyres is of capital importance because of the multiple forces on the tyre during maneuvering or turning. In the coming months, Meyer Logistik\u00a0will have around 1,600 vehicles equipped with the recently launched Goodyear product in Germany and Austria. The latest tyre range is optimised to deliver enhanced mileage even in challenging conditions. The tyres can be easily identified via an RFID chip and connected to a tyre management system.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding blocks, such as premium tyres, smart applications, like TPMS and experts to support efficient tyre management for fleets, contribute to the safety and comfort of our drivers by making their job easier,\u201d concluded Steyer. \u201cMy goal is to design the workspace for our drivers in the best possible way and offer them very good working conditions in order to make the driving profession more attractive again.\u00a0The long-lasting Goodyear tyres and TPMS solutions also support our sustainability goals, for example, in decreasing\u00a0our tyre consumption.\u00a0Other positive effects of\u00a0continuously monitoring the air pressure in the tyres are the fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
