SoE launching “Irtec Tyre” at CV Show

Following the news that Bridgestone became the first tyre manufacturer to trial and offer the Society of Operations Engineers (SoE)’s “Irtec Tyre” accreditation back in February, the society has announced that it plans to official launch the standard at the CV Show in Birmingham in April.

The final market-wide qualification is said to still be in last stages of development, but will be go live from the time of the show. Irtec tyre marks a step towards the tyre industry for SoE, which is well known in wider engineering circles but is working on expanding into a road transport focus, especially areas where the professionalization of the business is a key priority.
