Toyo Tires utilising European know-how for global product lines

As part of a range of structural changes taking effect on 1 April, Toyo Tires will draw upon its experiences making tyres for the demanding European market in order to benefit its development programme for other regions. The tyre maker is integrating its Europe/Module Development department, which currently operates under the Technology Development division within its R&D Headquarters, into the R&D Headquarters’ Replacement Tire Development department.

Toyo Tires says it is making this change “in order to tap into the development capabilities fostered in Europe thus far to enhance product performance on a global level.”
