Construction growth expected to slow Cost-conscious fleets looking to dealers as consultants

摘要

As U.S. construction market growth is expected to slow down in 2020, tire dealers should increase their role as consultants to their construction customers who are striving to eke out the most from their equipment. "At the end of the day, everyone's going to be looking at where is the best use of their money when it comes to their machinery and their tires," according to Bruce Besancon, vice president, off-the-road sales, Yokohama Tire Corp., who said the construction market in North America, which is tied to housing starts and gross domestic product, fared well last year.
