Kal Tire launch the Maple Program

摘要

Kal Tire have announced the certification of their new carbon calculator which is able to determine fuel and carbon emissions saved by retreading earthmover tyres compared with buying new. With that, the company is launching its Maple Program, which quantifies a customer's environmental impact as they grow their fleet with retreads. 'We have long claimed that our retread products are beneficial to the environment, but now we are able to quantify those benefits and recognize customers for opting to retread earthmover tyres,' said Darren Flint, vice-president of tyre lifetime services and vice-president of European and West African operations with Kal Tire's Mining Tire Group. 'Retreading reduces a tyre's operating cost per hour, and it has become increasingly important to customers to reduce their impact on the environment. We look forward to providing customers with actual data on the environmental savings they achieve.'
