UK tyre body brings Mercedes into the fold

ERJ staff report (DS)

London -- Mercedes-Benz has become the latest vehicle manufacturer group to join UK-based tyre safety organisation, TyreSafe.

The company will run a series of tyre safety initiatives across its retailer network and fleet customers, highlighting the important role that tyres play in road safety, which will include a cold weather tyre programme for this winter. As well as supporting and participating in TyreSafe's national campaigns, Mercedes-Benz will provide valuable experience and input into the organisation, helping it develop further and reduce the number of accidents and fatalities caused by defective tyres.

Mercedes-Benz is now the second vehicle manufacturer group to join TyreSafe. Volkswagen joined the group in February 2009.
