Yokohama debuts iPad app for truck tires

Yokohama Tire's recently-launched Commercial Tire Navigator iPad app features product information in an interactive format, 360-degree tire photography, Yokohama's Fuel Savings Calculator and a Dealer Locator.

Yokohama Tire Corp.’s recently-launched Commercial Tire Navigator iPad app is available for free from iTunes.

Based on Yokohama’s iPad app for consumer use, the commercial version features product information in an interactive format, 360-degree tire photography, Yokohama’s Fuel Savings Calculator and a Dealer Locator. Products covered consist of Yokohama’s commercial tires, including the Zenvironment line, as well as the company’s seven EPA SmartWay-verified tires.

“The Yokohama Commercial Tire Navigator is both an educational resource and a tool for fleet owners and truck operators,” said Alan Holtschneider, YTC manager of advertising, promotions and events. “With it, they can get an in-depth look at Yokohama tires and learn which one is best for various applications and road conditions.”

Holtschneider added the app also allows users to compare Yokohama’s fuel-efficient tires against competitive tires and find out about potential savings using the Fuel Savings Calculator, which returns results in annual gallons of fuel saved, annual cost saved and carbon footprint reduced.
