Tyre production
2006 2007
2008 average
We have increased the production capacity of 18 inch in 2008. There are some gap between real-production and capacity. We have to increase the productivity, so we improved the tyre building machine and cure machine in 2008 too.
Presentation for motor-sports meeting in 2008
We have increased the production capacity, and we improve the productivity in 2008.
We still have some problem between the order and the production in 2008.(1) Big increase the order in June, July, we don’t know the reason why.(2) There are still some differences , especially 15 inch, 18 inch tyre production
Production policy in 2009・ We would like to concentrate our activity focus on touring cars in 2009.・ We will not disturb mono-supplier business for which you already have a contract.・ We intend to reduce single seater business.・ In order to start GT car business in 2010, we will try to supply some tyres to super cars.
Presentation for motor-sports meeting in 2008
ETA base Order in 2009not including cross-ply
We got the pre-order, but how shall we manage this figure? Total demands are 63000 pcs, and we produce 40% of annual demands (25000 pcs) now.We have only a few order of 18 inch tyres, is this correct?Some of mono-supply series impact our production, but it’s excellent. (Suzuki swift)We will create new system to stock monopoly tyres in YRC or distributor.
