WAYNE, N. J. –Hankook Tire has had three of its commercial fleet tires certified for the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) SmartWay Program, meeting the program’s requirement to reduce rolling resistance by 3%.

The recently launched AL07+ steer tire, Z35a drive tire and TL01 trailer tire have all been proven to provide lower rolling resistance to meet SmartWay standards, which are designed to promote cleaner, more efficient truck technologies, according to Hankook.

“Diminishing the carbon footprint, improving fuel economy and reducing costs are the key areas of focus for the commercial fleet industry currently,” said Brian Sheehey, commercial tires director, Hankook Tire America. “This is a true validation of Hankook’s innovative technology, product and performance.” •
