Goodyear Dunlop Germany presented its new farm products from its Goodyear and Fulda brands at Agritechnical 2007, the world's leading agricultural trade show. More than 330,000 visitors came to Hanover between November 11 and 17 to view the newest trends in agriculture at the fair which featured 1,911 exhibitors from 35 countries.
The Goodyear stand showcased the newest developments from Goodyear and Fulda, as well as the company’s complete line of farm tires. In addition to seeing the new products, a great number of visitors and customers gathered information through individual discussions with the tire experts at the stand.
"At Goodyear and Fulda, we are continually investing in the development of tires and trained technical personnel. For us, Agritechnica is an excellent opportunity to impressively demonstrate this to the specialists who visit the trade fair. We will continue to rely on innovative technologies in the future and continue to expand the area of farm tires," said Rupert Kohaupt, sales and marketing manager, commercial tires, Goodyear Dunlop Germany.
The Fulda brand presented a new family member at the Hanover show -- the Fulda AS Pionier Radial 65, which will be available in six sizes -- for for the front, two for the rear -- by the end of 2007. With this product range, Fulda can offer a number of tire possibilities for all conventional four-wheel- and two-wheel-drive farm tractors. The wide tire was developed for tractors with up to 160 continental horsepower and maximum speeds of 50 kph (31 mph), and its load bearing capacity is the same at 40 and 50 kph.
The new products from Goodyear and Fulda are precisely tailored to meet the needs of the farm industry, especially concerning traction, ease of ride, wear and fuel savings. The proof was evident on the exhibit floor where many of the machines from well-known manufacturers -- Claas, Fendt and John Deere – were outfitted for display on Goodyear and Fulda tires.
"During the entire trade fair, we welcomed a large number of visitors to our stand. The enormous interest in our products and technologies shows that we are one of the leading providers in this segment," said Friedhelm Kaufmann, sales manager, replacement farm tires.
