Challenges EU Fleet Operators Face Daily
We understand the operational pressures and cost challenges that keep fleet managers awake at night. Here are the critical pain points we solve for cross-border logistics companies.
Rising Fuel Costs Eroding Margins
Every 1% increase in rolling resistance adds €2,000+ annually per truck. Poor tire efficiency directly impacts your bottom line on long-haul routes across Europe.
Winter Sidewall Cracking
Standard tires crack prematurely in harsh European winters, forcing early replacement. This cuts tire lifespan by 30-40%, devastating your ROI and maintenance schedules.
Non-Compliant Chinese Tires
Many Chinese tire suppliers lack EU Label certification, making their products illegal for EU roads. This creates compliance risks, potential fines, and operational disruptions.
Single-Life Casings Waste Money
Tires that can't be retreaded 2-3 times lose 50% of their potential value. Without multi-retread capability, you're essentially throwing away thousands of euros per tire set.
Unverified Mileage Claims
Suppliers promise 200,000+ km but provide no real-world data. Without documented proof from actual fleet operations, you're buying on hope rather than evidence.
Shipping Delays Cause Downtime
Peak season shipping congestion means 4-6 week delays from China. Every day your trucks sit idle waiting for tires costs you revenue and damages customer relationships.

Discuss Shipping Options & Lead TimesTrusted by Leading European Fleet Operators
Real feedback from fleet managers and procurement professionals who chose our tires and achieved measurable results in fuel economy, tire life, and operational reliability.
Chiyou's 315/80R22.5 delivered 210,000 km before first retread. The casing quality exceeded our expectations, and we've successfully retreaded 85% of our initial purchase. This level of performance from a Chinese supplier was previously unimaginable.
After switching to these Class B rated tires, our Germany-Italy routes saw a 2.3% fuel reduction across 45 trucks. The EU Label certification eliminated compliance concerns, and their technical team provided excellent CPK analysis support throughout.
The 3PMSF winter certification proved invaluable during Alpine crossings last winter. Zero sidewall failures in sub-zero conditions, and the compound remained flexible throughout. We've now standardized on Chiyou for our entire cold-chain fleet.
