Tyre manufacturer Maxxis International is continuing to build
relationships with the world's major car manufacturers and has
secured another OE accreditation from PSA.
Maxxis has developed its MA-510 tyre in conjunction with PSA
specifically for the European OE market - it already complies with
the European type approval standard 661/2009 - and is supplying the
tyre in size 175/65R14 as standard equipment on the Peugeot
206+.
This is the second OE contract that Maxxis has been
awarded for Peugeot and Citroen models manufactured and marketed
across Europe and recognises its technical innovation and quality
control. The contract also reinforces a flourishing
partnership with PSA, which dates back to October 2007.
The range entry model of Peugeot's best-selling, iconic
hatchback, the 206+ is available in a two-door body style with 1.1L
and 1.4L petrol and 1.4L diesel engine options and represents an
attractive proposition for buyers of small family cars.
Established in 1967, Maxxis International distributes
automotive, light truck, motorcycle, ATV, bicycle, turf and
industrial tyres in approximately 170 countries and is a
well-established OE supplier. Now one of the world's top ten
tyre manufacturers, Maxxis operates plants in Taiwan, China,
Thailand and Vietnam and is currently building two new factories to
support its OE obligations and meet domestic and export market
requirements.
