Goodyear Tire (GT) Commences New Pilot Program With Redspher
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (GT - Free Report) recently launched its latest pilot program, in collaboration with Redspher, a transport and logistics group operating in Europe. Goodyear Tire will supply its embedded sensors equipped, intelligent tires via Redspher, to a range of fleets, which are connected to Rubiwin, Redspher’s shared services platform.
The initial pilots, launched under this program, consist of outfitting delivery and service vans with intelligent tires. It also creates the ability to "fast-capture" pertinent data owing to the high-mileage use of the vehicles.
Continuous monitoring, recorded wear rate and tire pressure, combined with other vehicle data, are anticipated to benefit the fleets. In addition, the data captured is linked to the proprietary algorithms of Goodyear Tire to strengthen fleet operations and foresee when tires need service or replacement, enabling the company to operate smoothly.
In the past three months, Goodyear Tire has appreciated 28.7% compared with the industry’s 24.3% growth.
Goodyear Tire regularly rolls out innovative products and services to boost sales and remain competitive in the market. The company is working on an intelligent tire prototype that will facilitate fleet operators to communicate in real-time via a mobile application. Goodyear has successfully launched the Roll retail pilot and continues to expand the Mobile Tire Shop network.
In third-quarter 2019, the company registered revenues of $1.2 billion in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) segment, down 6.59% year over year. The segment’s operating income plunged 40.5% to $66 million.
