The Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc is the only women's rally event in the world that takes place 100% off-road. The women who take part in this rally - known as "Gazelles"- are of all ages, social backgrounds, nationalities and levels of off-road experience. The rally started from Nice France on Saturday, September 18 and arrived in Essaouira, Morocco on October 2, covering 2,500 kilometers. For the 30th anniversary of the Rallye, Goodyear was represented by Team n°263 with Stéphanie Caramico, marketing director, France and Léa Causse, sales representative, southwest area of France, who are also members of the Goodyear Women’s Network. Stéphanie and Léa rode on Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure tires and worked together to choose the shortest possible route by analyzing maps with geographical coordinates, and determining the difficulties of the terrain without using electronic tools. Congratulations to Stéphanie and Léa!

Thank you to #TeamGoodyear in San Luis Potosi, who visited “Juan Alvarez,” home to more than 200 children, located on a local community with limited resources in Villa de Reyes, SLP. As part of Goodyear’s Global Week of Volunteering, this team provided the material to restore the school and help with painting, playgrounds, cleaning, furniture and landscaping. This group’s efforts will continue during the year 2021, following all COVID-19 safety protocols.
Today, we’d like to recognize the future leaders of Goodyear – our 2021 intern class. Whether in person or virtual, their contributions to #TeamGoodyear are invaluable and we’re so glad they are here.
Goodyear's Global Week of Volunteering is in full swing! During this annual event, Goodyear associates from around the globe come together to volunteer with local non-profit organizations. Each of these organizations help create a better future for our community and we all look forward to supporting them.
In an industry first, Goodyear has developed a non-pneumatic (airless) tire (NPT) and wheel assembly to support autonomous vehicle transportation in a city setting for in-field use with the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA). Non-pneumatic tires (NPTs) support a vehicle's weight by using a spoke or web design as opposed to the pressurized air found in conventional automotive tires, making it an interesting architecture for potential future mobility.
We’re excited to announce the acquisition of the Cooper Tire & Rubber Company is complete. Combining our companies will create a stronger U.S.-based leader in the global tire industry; expanding our ability to serve our customers and consumers. Because of our shared commitment to integrity, quality, agility, customer service and teamwork, and to supporting communities where we operate, we know that this is just the beginning of what we’ll be able to accomplish together.
June is National Automotive Service Professionals month, a time to recognize vehicle service professionals who go above and beyond to provide the essential services that keep us on the road. We'd like to celebrate and thank the auto technicians from our Goodyear businesses, honoring their commitment and dedication to the valuable work they perform every day.
