GOODYEAR INTRODUCES A SUBSCRIPTION-BASED, TIRES-AS-A-SERVICE OFFERING DESIGNED TO REDUCE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP FOR FLEETS

Goodyear’s new offering has enabled major fleets in the U.S. and Europe to
lower costs and reduce vehicle breakdowns

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company announced the launch of a worry-free, tires-as-a-service offering that combines the company’s premium tires, proven predictive insights and industry-leading
service footprint in one, subscription-based solution. Building on the company’s
Total Mobility program, Goodyear will manage end-to-end tire service on behalf
of its customers.
Available for commercial and last-mile delivery fleets in the U.S. and Europe,
Goodyear’s tires-as-a-service offering can help save time and improve total cost

of ownership through outsourced tire management from this subscription-
based solution. This is designed to increase uptime, reduce vehicle breakdown

events, decrease fuel consumption and more.
In recent pilots, the tires-as-a-service solution helped reduce total cost of
ownership, contributing to a nearly 80% reduction in emergency vehicle

breakdown events and a 100% reduction in customer-owned inventory for a last-
mile delivery fleet operating in the U.S. Similarly, Goodyear’s new subscription

helped a commercial fleet in Europe experience a nearly 50% reduction in
emergency breakdown events and up to 4% reduction in fuel consumption
compared to the prior year.
“Goodyear’s tires-as-a-service offering is an evolution of our Total Mobility
offering, providing a new solution for customers who require end-to-end tire
management. It extends Goodyear products, services and solutions by providing
one comprehensive, worry-free subscription,” said Gregory Boucharlat, vice
president, Goodyear Tires-as-a-Service. “We have already demonstrated that
leveraging this solution can help fleet managers realize untapped value, and we
look forward to expanding it to new customers.”

Key features of the pay-per-mileage subscription include:

• Premium Goodyear tires equipped with tire intelligence technology to
  generate proactive insights
• Continuous, 24/7 tire monitoring and data collection from every tire
• Proactive alert management and service coordination
• Halo® Tire Inflator, a self-powered automatic tire inflation system
  installed on applicable wheel ends (through an exclusive agreement with
  Aperia Technologies)
• Access to Goodyear’s service network to dispatch technicians whenever
  needed
