Kumho Tire reported that its KLT02e trailer tire, which will soon be available through dealers in North America, has achieved SmartWay certification by the EPA.
In order to receive the SmartWay designation, the KLT02e needed to demonstrate a reduction in Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions for an estimated fuel savings of 3% or greater, relative to the “best selling” new tires for line haul trucks, when used on all five axles on long haul Class 8 trucks.
