Overcoming Crude Oil Transport Challenges in Harsh Terrain
Unpaved road conditions make the crude oil hauling business a demanding challenge for all truck tires. Using the GT659+, Giti helped Cotranscopetrol deliver a 4% lower cost per kilometer compared to leading competitors while improving durability and retread performance in harsh operating conditions. COTRANSCOPETROL is a 16-year experienced fuel and lube hauling company in Colombia. They have been ranked as part of the top 10 largest heavy truck companies since the last century. Beginning with a focus on crude oil in the east region of Colombia, they launched their hauling operations across the country. Huge oil wells demand a great number of new vehicles, with durability to withstand the long and harsh roads from long-distance travel points
