GREENVILLE, S.C. (Oct. 4, 2010)—Michelin North America Inc. has produced its 1 millionth X One wide-base single truck tire, 10 years after launching the product for North American truckers.
Michelin executives declined to comment on how fast the company will reach 2 million, but the company did say sales this year are running nearly 50 percent ahead of last year. Ted Becker, vice president of marketing, Michelin Americas Truck Tires, said the increased sales are coming both from existing customers and from new customers.
Michelin makes the X One at plants in Spartanburg, S.C., and Waterville, Nova Scotia.
