Yanchang rubber reduces weight of some TBR products

From January to October, Yanchang Rubber sold 3.759 million tyres. It is reported that the tyre company has undergone several reforms in 2022 and established three new departments in April, the all-steel radial tyre business department, the semi-steel radial tyre business department and the marketing centre.

In 2022, the tyre company reduced the weight of some all-steel radial tyre products by reforming the structural design. Yanchang Rubber believes this method can reduce costs and improve the company’s economic benefits. From January to October, Yanchang rubber reduced the weight of 61 types of all-steel radial tyres in 6 specifications. During this period, 204,000 weight-reduced tyres entered the market, reducing the cost of Yanchang rubber by 1.8838 million yuan. In other words, Yanchang Rubber has adjusted some tyre products’ structures to reduce the production cost of each all-steel radial tyre by about 9.2 yuan (about 1.1 pounds, 1.3 euros).

According to Yanchang Rubber, the company’s average daily output of semi-steel radial tyres is stable at 13,500 pieces. At the peak, the output can be increased to 14,000 pieces. It is reported that Yanchang Rubber has increased the development and sales ratio of semi-steel radial tyres by over 17 inches. Meanwhile, the company said it has targeted the electric vehicle market and is accelerating the development of electric vehicle tyres.

In addition, Yanchang Rubber has also improved product quality and the enterprise’s economic benefits by modifying tyre moulds that have been discontinued and transforming production equipment.

Yanchang Rubber’s brands include Duraturn, Neolin and Dynacargo. According to the tyre manufacturer’s official website, Yanchang Rubber is located in the national-grade Xixian new district, Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, where production facilities cover a total area of 1.66 million ㎡ with more than 2,000 employees. The company is a modern tyre manufacturing enterprise, which was built and funded with 4. 85 billion RMB by Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Group in 2008. Designed with annual capacity of 20 million radial tyres, including 4 million commercial vehicle tyres and 16 million passenger car tyres, Yanchang rubber has completed the first stage project with production capacity of 2 million commercial vehicle tyres and 8 million passenger car tyres.
