Consumers can travel abroad for discounted cars and car manufacturers will allocate cars to countries where demand is holding up. Therefore as new cars are sold there is a corresponding movement in the aftermarket sector as dealers and private motorists who have bought the second hand vehicle spend money on it to bring it up to retail standards or in the case of private motorists replace worn out parts such as tires.

7. Expert Opinion
7.1.1 Jean-Pierre Jeusette is General Director of the Goodyear Innovation Centre Luxembourg
Visiongain would like to thank Jean-Pierre Jeusette and Goodyear Dunlop Tyres for their cooperation and contribution.

7.1.2 From Now On Comparable Information has to be Provided on Three Important Areas of Performance for Millions of Tires Across Europe with the EU Tire Label Legislation. Did you Expect the Introduction of Such Legislation Across Europe?
Visiongain: From now on comparable information has to be provided on three important areas of performance for millions of tires across Europe. Jean-Pierre Jeusette talks to Visiongain about the new rules and the significant work that is going on behind the scenes at Goodyear Dunlop. Did you expect the introduction of such legislation across Europe?

Goodyear Dunlop Ltd: As a member of the European Tire & Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) Goodyear Dunlop has been involved in the formulation of the EU Tire Label legislation from an early stage. We were able to advise policy makers on the important role tires play in the environmental and safety performance of a vehicle. Tires can contribute to reduced fuel consumption and fewer CO2 emissions and – for me the key element – they have a major influence on the vehicle’s safety performance. For instance, with a wise tire choice, drivers can significantly influence a shorter stopping distance. Since the announcement of the new EU legislation we have been ensuring our associates are well informed on what the tire label is and what impact we believe it might have. We have informed and educated carmakers, tire dealers, media and other important business partners about the label.

7.1.3 Do you think the EU Tire Label introduction is a good thing?
Visiongain: Do you think the EU Tire Label introduction is a good thing?

Goodyear Dunlop Ltd: Yes, definitely. I believe the regulation is focused on increasing the safety and the economic and environmental efficiency of road transport by better informing drivers on the safety and environmental performance of tires. Working with tires every day, I know what sophisticated high technology products they are, but for most people they are hard to distinguish.

The Bridgestone Corporation (TYO: 5108, OTC Pink: BRDCY) is a multinational auto and truck parts manufacturer founded in 1931 by Shojiro Ishibashi in the city of Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan.
