Volvo Trucks has decided to integrate the Goodyear DriverHub application into Volvo's new My Business Apps service (subscription-based service), launching in 2024 across selected European markets. This collaboration enhances Volvo Trucks' digital service portfolio, giving operators more tools to improve vehicle performance and reduce costs.

This blue-chip UK truck show brought hundreds of exhibitors, fleet operators, policymakers, members of the public and of course, the T&BB team.

New European legislation mandating the use of tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) for all new commercial vehicles, including trailers, came into effect on July 7. Any tyre pressure change that exceeds 20% must be displayed (in real-time) on the driver's dashboard, alerting them to the issue as a safety precaution.

The new sustainable-material demonstration truck tyre used 63% sustainable material with 15 sustainable ingredients across 20 tyre components. Furthermore, it was manufactured with four different carbon blacks sourced from plant-based oils rather than crude oil.

ZF Group has entered a long-term agreement with Goodyear Operations SA whereby the companies plan to offer combined solutions for fleet and tyre management solutions.
