Goodyear is expanding its Vector 4Seasons Cargo tyre range with nine new sizes, reaching a comprehensive line-up of 28 SKUs from 14 to 19 inches to meet the growing needs of fleets in Europe. The broad range can fit some of the most popular light commercial vehicles in the market, such as the Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, MAN TGE and Isuzu D-MAX.
Operating a successful and efficient fleet requires managers to extract the most out of their resources, ensuring that jobs are completed on time and minimising vehicle downtime. This can become increasingly difficult during the winter months when the weather can impact vehicle efficiency and delays can place a strain on delivery quotas.
One way fleets can support year-round performance from their tyres is by switching to an all-season fitment. Goodyear tyre technology allows all season tyres to rival the benefits of interchangeable summer and winter fitments, meaning it can often be the best choice for fleets.
Goodyear Vector 4Seasons has won numerous tyre tests across Europe and has been awarded ‘Green Tire’ and Eco-Master 2023 by AutoBild. It features the latest technologies to keep fleets moving all year round. In wet conditions, the tyre delivers exceptional performance with Aqua Control Technology that disperses water consistently across the tyre’s contact patch.
On snow Goodyear Snow Grip Technology features a large number of sipes in the centre of the tread, which helps to claw snow and increase grip. Eco Cushion Technology also helps maximise efficiency by minimising rolling resistance. In addition, the tyre carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) approval mark, meaning it is proven to operate in winter driving conditions, like ice, slush and snow.
Sonia Leneveu, Goodyear Director Marketing Consumer Europe: “The market for premium LCT tyres in Europe has grown 13% since 2020 and is expected to further grow. With the rise in popularity, Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Cargo is the ideal product for LCV fleets operating in areas where weather conditions and topography recommend the use of an all-season product.”
Laurent Colantonio, Goodyear Senior Director Technology Consumer EMEA: “We understand how important it is for fleets to keep moving no matter the weather. With Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Cargo, we built the perfect tyre to suit the needs of light commercial vehicle fleets whose profitability depends on minimising downtime and maximising resources. To ensure ideal performance over its lifetime we recommend switching all-season tyres from front to rear at least once a year.”
