[Industry News]: General Motors ET990 wide-body dump truck tires are launched

On November 25, General Motors recently announced the launch of a new ET990 wide-body dump truck tire, which is specially tailored for wide-body dump trucks that challenge harsh hard mining environments. It combines E4 deepened pattern design, enlarged pattern blocks and special cut-resistant formulas to significantly enhance the tire's puncture and tear resistance. In addition, its unique V-groove design optimizes the tire's stone removal performance, while the strengthened belt and bead structure further improves the tire's stability under heavy load conditions and effectively reduces the risk of damage under severe road conditions and ensures greater durability and safety.

As a pioneer in the OTR tire (off-road tire) industry, General Motors led the industry trend with the XR718 all-steel short-distance mining tire as early as 2007. Since then, the company has continued to pay attention to and deeply cultivate this field, continuously increasing investment in research and development, and promoting product innovation. This year, GM has launched a number of innovative products such as XR970, XR980, XR985, and XR989 in one go. With their unique innovative advantages and excellent quality, these products not only meet the diversified needs of the mining and construction industries., it has also won widespread praise from the market and laid a solid foundation for the company's long-term development.

According to the Carbon Black Industry Network, in order to continuously improve product competitiveness, GM relies on advanced intelligent manufacturing technology and strict product quality management system to actively explore a new model of deep integration of "industry, academia and research". By integrating resources from all parties, the company strives to achieve breakthroughs in technological innovation. Not long ago, GM signed a cooperation agreement with Otsuka Materials, Dazhan Nano and Qingdao University to jointly promote the research and development and industrialization of off-highway tire products in terms of environmental protection, efficiency and safety. This cooperation will undoubtedly inject more technological elements and innovative vitality into GM's OTR products.

At present, GM's OTR tires have been exported to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan in China and overseas markets in Europe, Indonesia, Laos and other markets. The company's technical team also regularly conducts on-site surveys in various Kuangqu in order to gain a deeper understanding of user needs and help mine construction and transportation become more efficient. In addition, the company is making every effort to promote the "100,000 OTR Tire Project" and is expected to reach full production capacity in 2025, when production capacity will be greatly improved to better meet market demand.

Industry analysts pointed out that with the recovery of the global economy, the acceleration of infrastructure construction, the advancement of agricultural modernization and the continuous emergence of technological innovation, the off-highway tire market will usher in continued rapid growth. As a national tire company with profound technical strength and market experience, GM has shown strong development momentum and is expected to occupy a more important position in the future market.
