Goodyear and Dunlop to Launch New Products at IAA Show

The 60th International Motor Show (IAA) Commercial Vehicle Show will provide the platform for the launch of a number of new Goodyear and Dunlop products and services. As well as exhibiting a range of tyres for trucks, buses and coaches the Goodyear Dunlop stand will highlight the latest news and services from the Europe-wide TruckForce customer support network.

Goodyear Dunlop says that one of its key goals at the IAA show is to help customers evaluate some of the new tyre-related transport solutions that are available. The company believes its can demonstrate how its products and services can reduce costs. The company recently came up with some new concepts. These include maximising the cargo volume in mega-trailers, reducing the risk of overloading axles and increasing trailer brake life by up to 30 per cent. These configurations are said to produce longer tyre life and better fuel consumption in comparison with previous configurations.

On the ‘software’ side, new systems such as FleetOnlineSolutions and RoadsideAssistanceSolutions were both introduced less than a year ago. These internet-based ‘solutions’ will be demonstrated on the stand to show how they can reduce costs and downtime for the fleet operator and to show the latest improvements that have been introduced to the systems.

Key members of Goodyear Dunlop’s European truck tyre marketing and technical management will be present on the stand to meet customers and media on the press and opening days of the show.

The new products and services will be unveiled on Press Day, 22nd September and include tyres which are unique to the industry. The IAA Commercial Vehicle Show runs from the 23 to 29 September in Hanover.
