A long-term contract for the supply of OE truck tires has been signed between Bridgestone Europe and Volvo Group.
The tiremaker states that terms of this agreement represent a significant increase in marketshare for Bridgestone and cover a wide range of truck tires, including new Bridgestone R249 EVO and R297 EVO steer tires.
Continental Truck Tires also extended its established tire supply agreement with Volvo Group Europe in early April, and will remain an OE supplier for commercial vehicles in Europe until at least 2012. In addition to this new arrangement, Bridgestone has long-term preferred supplier agreements with Volvo Group in Asia and North and South America. (Tyres & Accessories)
