The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, has signed a new agreement to make its commercial truck tires the standard equipment used on all Volvo trucks produced for North America over the next three years.
"We are extremely pleased to have been chosen by this quality producer of premium commercial vehicles," said Steve McClellan, Goodyear’s vice president of commercial tire systems.
Scott Kress, senior vice president of sales, for Volvo Trucks North America, Inc., said, "Our customers look to Volvo for a premium ownership experience. We are pleased to have a supplier partner like Goodyear who shares our dedication to meeting customer needs for quality, safety, reliability, fuel efficiency and overall cost of ownership."
Goodyear truck tires for Volvo vehicles are produced at Goodyear’s manufacturing facilities in Danville, Va., and Topeka, Kan. Goodyear will supply Volvo with the new-generation G395 LHS, as well as the complete Goodyear commercial portfolio of line-haul, regional and vocational products.
In addition to the new agreement with Volvo Trucks North America, Goodyear also has renewed its current standard agreement with Mack Trucks Inc., a subsidiary of the Volvo Group. The Mack agreement will run concurrent with the Volvo pact; both agreements extend through October 2006.
