Giti Tire has unveiled tyres with low rolling resistance for heavy goods vehicles (HGV) in China that are said to have consumed 3.6% less fuel than mainstream fuel saving products.
The Giti GAR206 and Giti GDR207, in size 315/70R22.5 have been fitted at Daimler’s Beijing automobile plant as part of a Mercedes-Benz Acros OE fitment.
Stefan Fischer, managing director - product technology at Giti Tire Europe, said: “As a manufacturer we are proud to have fully demonstrated our technical heritage and advantages in product design and technology optimisation during the multiple rounds of rigorous objective tests that Daimler has for its OEM projects.”
