Yokohama to Display New ‘Zenvironment’ Products at IAA 2010

Yokohama has been promoting its ‘Zenvironment’ concept – the reduction of global emissions through tyres that last longer, are retreadable and can be recycled – in Europe since 2008. The current range includes the 104ZR steer axle and 901ZS winter steer axle fitments, and at the upcoming IAA commercial vehicle show in Hannover, Germany, the company intends to extend its Zenvironment portfolio. New additions to be shown in Hannover include the prototype 106ZS steer axle tyre and 107ZL steer axle tyre for long-haul operations.

These will be shown alongside the RB31, a new off-road tyre for articulated dump trucks used at mining and construction sites and two retread products developed jointly with Italy’s Marangoni. Also on display will be Yokohama’s HiTES tyre pressure monitoring system.
