Goodyear on the side of the consumer: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

In late 2009, the European Parliament adopted the Regulation № 1222, according to which all produced in the European Union tires from November 1, 2012 will receive a new label with an indication of the most important consumer parameters: fuel economy, the level of grip on wet surface, and acoustic comfort. Concern Goodyear Dunlop ahead of the time frame of this project and is ready to provide its dealer network with all necessary information for each product by October 2010, as the accompanying printed materials. The consumer receives all the data available from the leader of the tire industry to take a chance optimal choice due to the extended set of information services.

Why when buying refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens and other appliances you have a right to know the amount of electricity consumed, noise and environmental impact of products, and the choice of tires deprived of such opportunities? After all the above mentioned factors affect the attitude toward the product and make it possible to save not only at the initial stage of operation (acquisition), but also throughout the period of validity. "Criteria for safety, quality production, its cost and environmental impact have a devastating effect on increasing the loyalty of consumers - said Jean-Pierre, Josette, director of technology for passenger tires Goodyear of EMEA. - We welcome the new marking and are prepared to provide all the information about each product, as convinced about the effectiveness of these measures. The more attention we pay security and efficiency in the development of new technologies, the higher the standards of the industry, and this should know absolutely everything, including consumers and active in the marketplace. "

The new marking tires: read between the lines.

1 - Adhesion on wet surface. Evaluated items from A to G, where A - the best adhesion, G - the worst. The higher the figure, the shorter the braking distance car in rain conditions.

2 - Fuel efficiency. The index is directly related to the level of rolling resistance. Evaluated points from A (highest efficiency) to G (the lowest, but allowed the Rules).

3 - Noise. Acoustic comfort is measured in decibels and is accompanied by a picture of one, two or three sound waves. One wave corresponds to the exemplary performance in noise (at least 3 dB below the permitted level of the future), three waves - the relevant standards.

For the automobile tire industry trends quality product means the first set reached the factors that directly affect the basic characteristics of tires: a grip on the wet surface, the coefficient of rolling resistance, ride and acoustic comfort. All these criteria are mentioned in the new regulations and will be available to customers using the new labeling standards, according to the results of tests conducted within the company. Further journalistic tests and independent expert organizations will contribute to the qualitative growth of production and increase producer responsibility. There comes a tipping point - the best of the best representatives of the tire industry will be worth choosing a wide range of consumers, who are, day by day. Are you prepared for the challenge Goodyear Dunlop? Specialists Group utilizes the latest advances in materials and technologies that affect the performance of tires in a comprehensive vehicle safety and consumer value of products.

For example, one of the representatives of the summer product line Goodyear - high-tech series EfficientGrip - thanks to the unique range of advanced solutions showed the best results in its segment:

DISC>

Independent tests have demonstrated improved handling vehicles equipped with Goodyear EfficientGrip, with a reduced braking distance on any surface;

Technology FuelSaving reduced rolling resistance coefficient at 13%;

patented layer CoolCushion allowed to reduce the weight the tire;

unique polymer composition increases the service life by 25%.

Goodyear EfficientGrip is a shining example of engineering a compromise between the XXI century, refined handling and a comfortable, safe, traffic with record levels of profitability. A kind of standard, which purchased the automotive industry leaders who care about the consumer values. A unique series has found a response among the masses and will go down in history as the first official partner of serial bus electric Renault ZE (Zero Emission).
