TIRES MAKERS * USA - Hankook unveils e3 Technology for truck tires
Wayne,NJ,USA -Modern Tire Dealer -June 25, 2009: -- Hankook Tire America Corp. has unveiled its e3 (or e-Cubed) Technology for medium truck tires... "The e3 designation is designed to help dealers and customers understand the advanced technology behind its commercial tires, delivered across three areas: energy, economy and environment," say Hankook officials... The technology is designed to "increase fuel economy (energy), allow for improved fuel savings and wear performance (economy)... (and) minimize harmful carbon dioxide discharge (environment)."... Hankook officials say the technology is being integrated into Hankook's new line haul tires, which are scheduled to be rolled out in early 2010...* NitrogenMan Nitrogen Tire Inflation Now Available to Fleet Vehicles and Trucking Companies
Phoenix.AZ,USA -The Auto Channel -24 June 2009: -- Last week, NitrogenMan completed an installation for Safeway grocery stores to fill the tires in their Tempe-based truck fleet with Nitrogen in an effort to reduce road calls due to tire failures. Safeway plans on having its fleet of 320 trailers and 80 tractors converted by August... Nitrogen tire inflation tests have proven up to a 40% longer tread life of tires because they run cooler and maintain a more consistent tire pressure in spite of fluctuations in outside temperature, thereby reducing maintenance and blowouts... For trucks and fleet vehicles, the key value of Nitrogen tire inflation is in the fuel economy, consistent tire pressure and more even tire wear resulting in the extended life of the tire... Because Nitrogen is an inert dry gas tire pressure change due to temperature is minimal, and because Nitrogen molecules are larger than compressed air molecules, there is virtually minimal loss from Nitrogen passing through tire rubber leading to under inflation. Industry studies have also found that Nitrogen-inflated tires can increase fuel economy by between 4 and 10%.. (Photo from i.treehugger: Safeway truck)
