米其林正在其坎普格兰工厂新增子午线农用轮胎产能,以期满足巴西对此类产品日益增长的需求。米其林南美公司总裁Nour Bouhassoun指出,农业占巴西国民生产总值的22%,未来几年米其林将谋求在农用轮胎部门大幅增长。米其林全球农业部门负责人Emmanuel Ladent说,巴西是世界上耕地面积最大的国家,但所销售的农用轮胎仅有约6%为子午胎,相比之下在欧洲这一数字估计为87%。 Michelin is adding radial agricultural tire capacity at its Camp Grandyard plant to meet Brazil’s growing demand for such products. Nour Bouhassoun, president of Michelin South America, said that agriculture accounts for 22% of Brazil’s GNP and Michelin will seek to make a substantial increase in the agricultural tire sector in the coming years. Emmanuel Ladent, head of Michelin’s global agriculture division, said Brazil is the world’s largest arable land but only about 6% of farm tires sold are radial buoys, compared with an estimated 87% in Europe.
