Goodyear and TIP Group have extended their long-term partnership for a further five years. The renewed agreement also marks 20 years of close and constructive collaboration between the two companies.
Over the past two decades, Goodyear and TIP Group have worked side by side to support fleet operations across Europe. Goodyear has supplied high-performance tire solutions from its commercial ranges, tailored to the operational requirements of TIP’s fleets and the evolving expectations of its customers.
As market conditions and regulations evolve, sustainability has become a key focus of the partnership. With Goodyear’s latest commercial truck tires, including the KMax Gen-3 range, TIP Group can offer customers tires made with at least 40% sustainable materials, while maintaining fleet durability and B-label rolling resistance to enhance fuel efficiency.
Beyond tire supply, the partnership also includes the provision of services across Europe through more than 2,000 Goodyear TruckForce Network locations, to help TIP Group minimize unplanned breakdowns, optimize tire performance and keep vehicles on the road – a critical factor for transportation operators.
TIP Group is also addressing market challenges by modernizing its fleet and services. Investments in sustainable fleet solutions, advanced telematics and refurbishment capabilities help customers extend asset life, improve compliance and reduce environmental impact. In this context, Goodyear’s retreading solutions extend tire life, reduce waste, support resource efficiency and help manage costs.
“This partnership is built on trust, long-term thinking and a deep understanding of the transportation fleet market” said Piotr Czyżyk, vice president commercial sales EMEA at Goodyear. “For 20 years, we have worked closely with TIP Group to deliver reliable products, innovative fleet solutions and retreading services that help keep their customers moving. Extending our agreement for another five years reflects our shared commitment to performance, efficiency and sustainability – and to continuously evolving together as market expectations change.”
“Our collaboration with Goodyear is a strong example of how strategic partnerships can create real value for fleet operators,” added Paul Beadle, COO at TIP Group. “Managing more than 90,000 trucks, trailers and specialized assets across Europe means reliability is critical, which is why we value long-term partners like Goodyear. By combining high-performance tires and mobility solutions with our operational experience, we deliver more efficient and more sustainable fleet solutions – and ultimately more value for our customers.”
