Shandong to make tyres for good fuel economy - report

ERJ staff report (DS)

Shandong Province, China -- Tyre production in Shandong Province is likely to be around 270 million units annually under the current 5-year plan, slightly below the 299 million units produced in 2010 (or 46 percent of the national total), according to data published in a local paper, the Qilu Evening News, based on a report published by a Provincial Committee

Of this 270 million, around half are likely to be high-performance or low rolling resistance products.

The development priority in the current 5-year plan is therefore not to increase production numbers, but to raise the technological level of the tyres being produced, to meet international demand for low-rolling resistance and high speed performance.
