On 17 February, Yokohama’s European subsidiary officially opened a dedicated winter tyre development and testing centre in Nattberg, Sweden, roughly 80 kilometres from the Arctic Circle. The latest news represents the most recent development in the expanding cooperation between Yokohama and Nordic tyre specialists Arctic Falls, which began roughly a decade ago. In practice this means Yokohama has signed a long-term contract with Arctic Falls for exclusive use of the facility during the long winter season and that it is branded as Yokohama Test Center of Sweden.
