CHANGING LANES 28 MARCH 2014 // WWW.CHANGINGLANESDIGITAL.COM Special Hauls Michelin North America, Inc. recently announced it will continue providing tires to Yellowstone National Park by renewing its commitment to the Yellowstone Park Foundation (YPF). Since 2008, Michelin has donated more than 1,400 tires to help equip Yellowstone National Park's fleet of 800 vehicles, which includes everything from patrol cars and garbage trucks to giant earthmoving vehicles, rotary snow plows and large load-hauling tractor trailers. Through the partnership Michelin is helping Yellowstone National Park reduce its operating expenses and lower the park's consumption of raw materials. The company is also helping the park lower its overall fuel consumption with the use of Michelin's industry leading green tire technology that it has been developing and refining since 1992. This focus on efficient tire performance, as it relates to improving the park's sustainability, is significant given that, on average, Yellowstone vehicles collectively travel 3.75 million miles per year on the park's more than 420 miles of roadways.
