Goodyear partners with Globaltruck in Russia and the Urals

Goodyear has established an exclusive partnership with Globaltruck, one of the largest road freight carriers in Russia and the leading “full truck load” (FTL) carrier in the Urals and Siberia markets. The fleet includes 1,305 long-haul trucks plus 1,457 trailers and all vehicles will be equipped with the latest Goodyear Fuelmax Gen-2 steering, drive and trailer tyres.

Globaltruck operates within the Central region of Russia to the Urals, Siberia, the Far East and the countries of the European Union. Globaltruck’s customer portfolio includes businesses in retail, FMCG, industry, as well as e-commerce and parcel delivery.

“The selection of a new tyre supplier was made by us based on an open tender, for which Goodyear presented the best offer meeting most of the metrics. We expect the tyres to offer improved fuel efficiency coupled with increased mileage and high traction. We hope that the newest Goodyear Fuelmax Gen-2 range will justify itself from a financial point of view and at the same time will support sustainable transportation,” said Ilya Sattarov, CEO of Globaltruck.

In total, about 3,000 vehicles will be equipped Goodyear Fuelmax Gen-2 steering, drive and trailer tyres.
