New Kumho trailer tire gets nod from EPA's SmartWay program
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.
