Akron, Ohio -- Former US Navy secretary and US Senator John Warner and Vice Admiral Dennis McGinn (Ret.), vice chairman of the CNA Military Advisory Board, have recognised the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company for its fuel efficiency innovations.
The visit to Goodyear's world headquarters in Akron was part of a nationwide tour sponsored by the Pew Project on National Security, Energy and Climate, a group dedicated to highlighting critical linkages between national security, energy independence, the economy and climate change.
The leaders met with Goodyear officials to discuss initiatives underway at the company to improve the rolling resistance of tyres, thereby improving the overall fuel efficiency of civilian and military vehicles. Goodyear is doing this through lightweight tyre construction, tyre profile, tread design, innovative materials and compounds and new manufacturing processes.
