Kumho's soon-to-be available KLT02e trailer tire has
achieved SmartWay certification from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the company reports.
The EPA has evaluated the fuel saving benefits of various
types of technologies, including low rolling resistance. In
order to receive the SmartWay designation, a tire must
provide a reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions for an
estimated fuel savings of 3 percent or greater relative to
the “best selling” new tires for line haul trucks when used
on all five axles on long haul class 8 vehicles.
