ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrint

AKRON, OHIO – Navigating Goodyear’s new commercial tire Web site just got easier. Goodyear is moving more of its process controls online. The new site features a dealer locator and simplified search function to find Goodyear tires by application, wheel position, and size.

Knowledge-based fleet management tools reside in a “business solutions” section. Software and Web-based programs that permit fleets to track tire costs and performance and the status of their retreads are outlined. The section also describes the company’s 4-TIRES-NOW emergency roadside-assistance program.

Technology sections keep fleets updated on the latest innovations, including the award-winning DuraSeal Technology for line-haul trailers and mixed-service applications plus Fuel Max line-haul technology for enhanced fuel economy.

The company’s “support” button provides fuel economy information, safety tips, load information, service manuals, warranties, publications, and product brochures.

Goodyear’s new Web site offers a “newsroom” section that offers the latest press releases issued by commercial tire systems. It also provides downloads of Goodyear’s award-winning TireLogic magazine and Highway Hero awards.

To access Goodyear’s redesigned commercial tire Web site, go to www.goodyear.com/truck/.

Anti-Idling Programs: A Quick Way to Reduce Fuel Spend

By Mike Antich
Reducing unnecessary idling is the simplest and easiest way for a fleet to reduce fuel costs. Besides wasting fuel, excess idling also causes unnecessary emissions, noise pollution, and needless engine wear-and-tear. The amount of unnecessary idling varies by fleet, but some fleets have recorded idling as much as 35 percent of the time.

Credit Gridlock Will Impede Sales of Used Fleet Vehicles

By Mike Antich
The bread-and-butter customers of out-of-service fleet vehicles are buyers with C and D credit, namely subprime buyers. However, funders have tightened underwriting standards to manage these higher risk borrowers. Some lenders have caps on how low a FICO score they are willing to fund, which is often above the threshold of subprime borrowers. If this continues, it will have significant long-term implications for the sale of used fleet vehicles.
