Goodyear a DAF ‘Master’ supplier

Truck manufacturer DAF recently recognised Goodyear as a ‘Master’ in its 2021 Supplier Performance Management Program. This is the first time that Goodyear has reached this level, and the tyre maker attributes the achievement to the ”work and dedication of its teams who constantly seek to improve the total customer experience year over year.” It particularly praises its teammates for maintaining Goodyear’s “high standards of operational excellence” despite a disruptive macro environment.

“Goodyear is proud to receive this prestigious accolade from DAF,” states Frank Titz, Goodyear’s managing director OE Trucks EMEA. “By being far more than a tyre partner and working closely together we can maximise added value and drive results for our customers like optimising performance, sustainability and efficiency with innovative services as well as advanced low rolling resistance tyres. To be categorised in the highest category of ‘Masters’ from DAF shows the strength of the partnership.

“We also host the DAF Driver Challenge at our Proving Grounds, support the just-in-time supply by using our own tyre mounting centre, provide integrated TPMS and help DAF customers optimise fleet performance. I would like to sincerely thank both the DAF and our team for making this award happen.”
