Goodyear awarded "Chassis Supplier of the Year" by FCA

In December, Goodyear was awarded  "Chassis Supplier of the Year" at the annual Fiat Chrysler supplier conference in Turin, Italy. "Goodyear demonstrated a customer oriented approach across many aspects of the business with FCA. They showed a strong commitment supporting FCA needs combining flexibility, transparency and a profound sense of urgency. Thank you, Goodyear" FCA was quoted as saying.

Nick Harley, Managing Director for Original Equipment, Consumer Tyres EMEA at Goodyear, commented: "We are excited about this important award. It's the first time that a tyre manufacturer has been awarded as FCA Supplier of the Year for the whole Chassis sector. It's a remarkable success, achieved thanks to the strong commitment of the Goodyear cross-functional team working every day to provide FCA with excellent products and services, developed to answer their specific requirements".

During 2017, Goodyear strengthened the partnership with FCA and has won significant share as original equipment supplier for new models across FCA brands, such as:

  • the first ever Maserati SUV, the Maserati Levante equipped with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 SUV
  • the Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV equipped with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV
  • the Alfa Romeo Giulia equipped with Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 ROF and the EfficientGrip Performance
  • the Jeep Renegade equipped with EfficientGrip SUV and Vector 4Seasons
  • The Fiat 500X equipped with EfficientGrip Performance and Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2.

The company says it looks forward to continuing its close collaboration with FCA as new technology and models are developed and launched to the market.
