The Goodyear tire manufacturer presents at the transport.ch 2025 trade fair in Bern (November 5–8) the new KMAX GEN-3. The latest generation of the KMAX tire series for trucks is intended to combine proven durability with up to 13 percent lower rolling resistance and improved traction. Goodyear promises fuel savings, reduced CO2 emissions and lower operating costs. The manufacturer will display the new development at Stand B002 in Hall 4.1 of BERNEXPO.
The Goodyear KMAX GEN-3 target group consists particularly of fleet operators who, in light
of increasing requirements on cost-effectiveness and environmental performance, are seeking solutions. The tire consists of at least 40 percent sustainable materials – according to Goodyear, with unchanged durability. Only for the size 445/65R22.5 is a special compound used.
For new customers of Goodyear Suisse SA who would like to test the KMAX GEN-3 or the EQMAX also on display, the manufacturer offers a special trade fair offer.
Part of the Goodyear Total Mobility concept
The KMAX GEN-3 is part of the Goodyear concept “Total Mobility”, which
offers fleets in Europe a modular total package of products, digital solutions and services. This includes, in addition to the new tire, tools such as “TPMS Connect” for the integration of OEM systems, the stationary tire condition tester “CheckPoint” and the service package “Tires-as-a-Service” for outsourced tire management.
At the trade fair stand, visitors learn on interactive screens and in direct exchange with Goodyear experts how they can increase their fleet efficiency, reduce downtime and improve their CO2 balance with the total offering.

monitoring system “TPMS Connect” integrated with Schmitz Cargobull
Gemeinsam mit Schmitz Cargobull hat Goodyear außerdem vor kurzem sein Reifendruckkontrollsystem „TPMS Connect“ direkt in die „TrailerConnect“-Plattform und das „Data Management Center“ (DMC) des Trailerherstellers integriert. Flottenbetreiber erhalten damit ohne zusätzliche Hardware Zugriff auf Echtzeitdaten zu Reifendruck, -temperatur und Position. Die prädiktive Analyse über „G-Predict“ ermöglicht frühzeitige Wartung und reduziert Ausfallzeiten. Alle Daten lassen sich im DMC zentral auswerten und mit weiteren Betriebsinformationen verknüpfen. Die Lösung sei sofort einsetzbar, datenschutzkonform nach DSGVO und kompatibel mit über 40 Telematikanbietern.
