RANA Motors and Goodyear, importers of truck tyres to the country, have launched two new tyre technologies, the Duraseal and Max Technologies.
They ensure better fuel economy and reduction in emissions, thus being environmentally friendly.
The General Manager of Goodyear Middle East and Africa, Mr Octavian Velcan, at the launch in Accra yesterday, said the introduction of the two new technologies signified his company’s commitment to the areas of safety and environmental awareness.
He said the Goodyear Duraseal truck tyres could repair themselves in the event of a puncture while in motion, and noted that the tyre featured a built-in component made of special rubber compound that flowed into the puncture.
“The rubber compound stops air from escaping from the tyre, even if any object of up to six-millimetre diameter penetrates the tread,” he stated.
Mr Velcan disclosed that the Max Technology tyres were a whole new concept in the trucking industry as they increased efficiency while reducing the carbon emissions from large vehicles.
“This extended range of products and innovative technologies represent the pinnacle of tyre offerings within the tyre industry”, he said and noted that the Middle East and Africa were the two largest users of trucks for long haul land shipments, and that the new Goodyear products had proven results and success as better and safer alternatives to traditional truck tyre.
The General Manager of Rana Motors, Mr Vinay Kapor, said his company had opened a new showroom and truck tyre service centre at Tema to display the new tyres and offer services to customers.
He explained that the Goodyear tyre had enhanced mileage, wet braking performance, and a concept that allowed increased air volume inside the tyres, causing less road damage to the tyres
