Goodyear preparing to restart European truck tyre production

Production at Goodyear’s tyre plants in Europe and several other regions was put on hold almost a month ago in response to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The company is now looking to resume its production activities through a “phased restart” in the second quarter of 2020, beginning with some of its truck tyre production sites in Europe and the USA before the end of this month.

The company says decisions to resume production will be based on an evaluation of market demand signals, inventory and supply levels, as well as the ability to safeguard the health of its workforce.
