The two companies have worked together to develop and produce OTR tyres specifically for the brand new 60tonne class ADT, which is said to meet the growing customer demand for higher capacity vehicles.
The basis for the newly-developed OTR tyre was the company’s successful TL-3A+, and Goodyear says its engineers ensured that the TL-4A offers optimised forward and lateral traction while at the same time provide superior ride comfort. Its non-directional tread design has a wide footprint for maximum contact with the surface and excellent stability along with exceptional self-cleaning characteristics, says Goodyear.
“The development of the new TL-4A in size 33.25R29 for Volvo’s new A60H articulated dump truck is a perfect example of innovative collaboration to achieve the common goal of satisfying customer needs in the OTR industry and helping them to reduce their operating costs,” says Octavian Velcan, managing director OTR tyres Goodyear Europe, Middle East and Africa.
“This new class of articulated dump truck meets the needs of operators who require maximum load capacity. Our new, specifically-developed Goodyear TL-4A OTR tyres allow the performance of those vehicles to be maximised.”
The new Off-The-Road (OTR) tyre TL-4A in size 33.25R29 is now available as OE fitment for the new Volvo A60H articulated dump truck with 55tonne capacity.
