Bridgestone celebrates 9 years as world’s leading tyre manufacturer
MUSCAT: Bridgestone is named the world’s largest tyre manufacturer for a ninth consecutive year, following the release of the 2017 Global Tyre rankings by Tire Business.
The Japanese brand comfortably claimed the top spot with total tyre and tyre-related sales of $22.1 billion in 2016.
The ranking comes despite a downturn in the worldwide tyre industry, which points towards the strength and appeal of Bridgestone’s tyre range.
The manufacturer’s broad passenger vehicle range is a match for MEA’s testing road conditions, and includes products focused on sport (Potenza), comfort (Turanza), ecology (Ecopia) and SUV/4x4 (Dueler).
“Bridgestone’s number one ranking for a ninth consecutive year is a great achievement and a well-earned endorsement for the quality of both our tyres and services” commented Mete Ekin, Regional Managing Director, Bridgestone MEA.
“MEA is a highly competitive region for tyre manufacturers and I attribute our success to an acute understanding of customers’ needs and challenges, alongside the trust we’ve built over time” he added. luxury. Take for instance, a warm sunny day, where one may have their hands full with essential grocery items or even may be the latest in fashion wear. Normally flipping through the handbag or pockets to locate the vehicle key to unlock the trunk lid would be the obvious practice. During this search one would obviously turn a juggler to avoid placing those shopping bags on the street.
Surprisingly in the Lincoln MKC, with the hands-free liftgate all one would require to do is confidently motion their foot under the rear end of the MKC and watch the trunk open. More like a wish come true.
Now if one is headed to the next destination immediately to cash in on a special offer or a latest limited period offering, there’s bound to be crowd and cars and challenging parking slots. But in an MKC with the active park assist with park out assist, parking in such challenging slots is more like a cakewalk.
