The program is administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and is currently housed with the USEPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ). GOALS OF THE SMARTWAY The SmartWay Transport Partnership is likely to have increasing appeal in the coming years as fuel prices rise and as the prospect of global warming influences businesses and individuals to reassess their environmental footprint. By 2012, the SmartWay Transport Partnership aims to save between 3.3 and 6.6 billion gallons of diesel fuel per year, which translates to eliminating between 33-66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions and up to 200,000 tons of nitrous oxide emissions per year. The Partnership also aims to reduce large amounts of particulate matter (PM). The SmartWay Partnership is committed to helping freight shippers and carriers discover ways to improve the efficiency of their supply chain and achieve superior environmental performance. 8 800-HI-KUMHO TECHNICAL DATA APPLICATION CHART LINE HAUL REGIONAL MIXED SERVICE WIDEBASE Interstate Highway Highway & City Mixed Conditions Mixed Conditions STEER & STEER ALL-POSITION KMA01 KRA12 KMA02 KMA12 KLS02e KRS02(e) KRS03 DRIVE KLD02(e) KLD11e KRDO1 KRD03 KRD16 KRD50 KMD41 TRAILER KLT12e KRT03a KRT12 PRODUCT POSITIONING MAP Route Severity (Harshest) SER ED VIC IX E IDEBASE M W KMA01, KRA12, KMD41 KMA02, GIONA KMA12 RE L Surface Severity (Harshest) KRS02(e), KRS03, KRD01, KRD03, KRD16, E HAU LIN L KRD50, KRT03a, KRT12 Surface Severity (Mildest) KLS02e, KLD02(e), KLD11e, KLT12e Route Severity (Mildest) 800-HI-KUMHO 9 TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION TO KUMHO TIRE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS KUMHO has developed an exclusive performance analysis system for controlling & analyzing tire performance factors.

OSHRC Docket No. 94-1374 DAYTON TIRE, BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE, Respondent, UNITED STEEL WORKERS OF AMERICA, LOCAL 998, Authorized Employee Representative. APPEARANCES: Ronald J. Gottlieb and John Shortall, Attorneys; Kenneth A. Hellman and Nicholas J. Levintow, Senior Trial Attorneys; Ann Rosenthal, Counsel for Appellate Litigation; Joseph M. Woodward, Associate Solicitor; Marvin Krislov, Deputy Solicitor; J. Davitt McAteer, Acting Solicitor; U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC For the Complainant Willis J. Goldsmith, Esq.; Thomas M.

Collins, Esq.; Margo Pave, Esq.; Bredhoff & Kaiser, PLLC, Washington, DC For the Authorized Employee Representative DECISION Before: ROGERS, Chairman; THOMPSON and ATTWOOD, Commissioners. BY THE COMMISSION: Following an accident that resulted in a fatality, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) inspected a tire manufacturing plant operated by Dayton Tire, a division of Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. (“Dayton”) located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Secretary issued a citation to Dayton under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (“OSH Act” or “Act”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 651-678, alleging 107 willful violations under various provisions of the general industry lockout/tagout (“LOTO”) standard, 29 C.F.R. § 1910.147. The Secretary alleges that Dayton violated the cited LOTO standard provisions based on its failure to do the following: (1) establish energy control procedures for seven different machines located in six departments; (2) inspect, certify, and utilize those procedures; (3) supply the necessary locks to effectively lock out its equipment; and (4) provide its employees with the required level of LOTO training.

  • Tire - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Tire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire Tire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A tire (or tyre ) is a ring-shaped covering that fits around a wheel's rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance. Most tires, such as those for automobiles and bicycles, provide traction between the vehicle and the road while providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock. The materials of modern pneumatic tires are synthetic rubber, natural rubber, fabric and wire, along with carbon black and other chemical compounds. They consist of a tread and a body. The tread provides traction while the body provides containment for a quantity of compressed air. Before rubber was developed, the first versions of tires were simply bands of metal that fitted around wooden wheels to prevent wear and tear. Early rubber tires were solid (not pneumatic). Today, the majority of tires are pneumatic inflatable structures, comprising a doughnut-shaped body of cords and wires encased in rubber and generally filled with compressed air to form an inflatable cushion. Pneumatic tires are used on many types of vehicles, including cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, earthmovers, and aircraft. Metal tires are still used on locomotives and railcars, and solid rubber (or Stacked and standing car tires other polymer) tires are still used in various non-automotive applications, such as some casters, carts, lawnmowers, and wheelbarrows.

For the production of environmentally safe “green tires” in new rubber compounds silica (“silica white”) is used. Tire building TIRES Start-up – In 2005 Tire building is carried out on VMI company automated assembly sites (Holland). Curing TIRES Start-up– In 2005 The final part of tire production – curing – is performed on Herbert company vulcanizing equipment with segment molds. Quality control TIRES Start-up – In 2005 C+ B- B All products made are transferred to Quality Inspection. At this stage tires undergo static imbalance and tire uniformity parameter testing, which comprise geometry, weight distribution and stiffness properties inspection. The benefits of KAMA EURO-129 tires TIRES Asymmetrical pattern Excellent braking on dry and wet surface Improved road-holding ability both directional stability and curvilinear trajectory Low coefficient of rolling resistance Low fuel consumption rate High hydroplaning rate both in direct and curvilinear motion Outer side Inner Enhanced comfort and low noise level KAMA
