In our current world, many things require tires (tires), from cars and trucks to wheels for people with special needs and spacecraft. With this diversity, many intertwined threads emerge that link the tire industry (tires), especially (truck tires), to the global economy as one of the most influential factors. It has gone beyond being just a part of different means of transportation, but rather an essential element involved in the manufacture and supply of all products that are consumed in this world, because truck tires have undoubtedly carried this product at a stage of import, supply, transportation and storage.

This central role in many different fields has a significant impact on the deep vital presence in important economic sectors, such as agriculture, manufacturing, trade and the provision of various services, and clearly in services logistical Because of its great dependence on road transport through trucks and trailers, and the significant and rapid developments that the world is witnessing on the one hand, and in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the other hand in the process of achieving Vision 2030, the importance of understanding and analyzing the economic impacts of the industry Kafrat trucks on the global economy and international and consumer industries.

How do truck tires affect the world economy
  • The production of raw materials: the story of truck tires

The manufacture and production of raw materials used in the manufacture of truck tires is one of the complex economic stories that extends in a series around the world. The parties to this economic story start from the heart of the Asian continent, where the largest natural rubber plantations in the world are where millions of families work side by side in growing rubber trees as a main source of income and livelihood. It is important to know that in Thailand only, more than six million people work in the production of natural rubber extracted from rubber trees. These growing numbers of rubber production workers are directly affected by everything that affects the tire industry. The most demanding industry for natural rubber, and with the availability of alternatives to natural rubber, it is completely irreplaceable, which contributes to the continued demand for natural rubber from these areas in particular because it is the only one in the world that can grow rubber trees naturally.

In general, it can be concluded that fluctuations in tire prices directly affect sellers of natural rubber. As demand for tires increases, so does demand for natural rubber, making the world like two sides of Mezzan. Any impact on one side directly affects the balance of the other side. In turn, communities of natural rubber sellers consume other products. Thus, the circle of economic impact is completed. This effect causes governments and international organizations to intervene in some cases to prevent instability for different parties, including natural rubber sellers. Governments provide them with political support that provides them Protection from any problems that are expected to occur.

In the world of synthetic rubber, another story comes to the fore that is no less complex than its predecessor. This industry is closely linked to the oil and petrochemical industries, making it affected by fluctuations in world oil prices. Despite all these pressures and changing aspects in the tire industry, this industry continues to develop and improve, and produce unique products that deal with the current problems experienced by the whole world.

  • Innovation and development in the installation of truck covers

The continuous development process is the only way for the sector to stay alive. Tires, like other consumer products, are affected by other accompanying developments. Development in the field of trucks, aircraft and spacecraft requires the development of distinctive tires with certain characteristics that achieve the required goals. The manufacture of truck tires is directly related to the economic development that takes place throughout the world. The development of customs and border transactions contributes significantly to increasing the number of trucks traveling on international roads and thus consuming more tires. On the other hand, not all tires are suitable for different environments between One country and another, which raises the need to provide tires that are compatible with different climates and different environments.

This great need, which is increasing with increasing developments in the general sectors, makes truck tire manufacturers invest in developing tires and internal structures from which tires are made, spending billions of dollars annually. The benefits of developing and innovating modern technologies in the manufacture of internal tire structures can be highlighted because the economic benefits obtained from providing cheaper and more environmentally safe formulations make these development processes one of the most important processes that tire manufacturers work on.

Research and development currently includes research related to advanced silica compounds, nanotechnologies, and the addition of new synthetic materials that enhance the characteristics of tires. These developments are largely focused on providing better performance for tires, which contributes significantly to the development of the logistics and economic field, thus enhancing the global economy.

  • Manufacturing and Production: Opportunities for Technological Excellence

Tire manufacturing plants are a modern technological center and an integrated economic system by combining innovation, efficiency and production. This is reflected in the work of dedicated robots under the supervision of trained workers to produce custom tires to overcome the harshest weather and environmental conditions. Investments in this sector are very large. The costs of establishing a modern factory amount to billions of dollars and a great human effort to enter the local and global market. These investments are not limited to equipment and machines, but include many sections, such as the following sections:

  • Advanced digital control systems.
  • Testing and quality laboratories
  • R & D centers.
  • Specialized training programs for employees.
  • The marketing and sales team.

These factories are among the most important centers that eliminate unemployment in the areas in which they are established by achieving an economic need for many institutions and companies such as: supply companies for the supply of raw materials and components, warehouses and real estate sites, logistics companies for transportation and distribution, training and rehabilitation centers for employees, maintenance and technical support companies, and many companies and institutions that will have a great opportunity to achieve many economic and marketing goals by working with large factories.

Impact on the transport and logistics sector

manufacture Truck covers It is one of the industries related to the largest economic area known to the world, namely the transport and logistics sector, because these sectors depend directly on tires (tires), and as much as they depend on them, they are negatively and positively affected by them. The efficiency of tires in traveling on roads determines the efficiency of transportation between different countries and within the same country through fuel consumption, noise production, regular maintenance, torque or rolling resistance. All these factors affect trucks as a result of choosing the right tire. In a few lines, we will divide you the factors that affect the transport and logistics sector by the quality of tires trucks.

Improve operational efficiency

  • Reducing fuel costs

About 30% of truck energy is consumed in overcoming rolling or rolling resistance that results from the quality of tire friction against asphalt, as documented by International Road Transport Council (IRU), while low-resistance tires like the ones they offer Darbak Saudi CompanyIt can reduce fuel consumption by 8-12%, giving us an imaginary statistic for a medium-sized logistics company that can save nearly $50,000 per year for every ten trucks operating throughout the year.

  • Reduce Downtime

Sudden faults and tire explosions or damage can cause significant loss in the required working hours, according to of the American Truck Association (ATA) A single accident or malfunction can stop work for at least three hours on average. Studies show that smart tires reduce downtime by 35% thanks to the system of monitoring the pressure inside the tires, giving the driver the ability to anticipate and avoid the defect or be ready to solve the problem without many stopping hours.

  • Improve logistics fleet management

In its management, the logistics fleet depends on controlling the performance of trucks and achieving a consistent level of quality and speed, and by relying on one quality of tires that are reliable in their quality and performance, as is the case in tires (tires) Darbak Saudi Company For tire manufacturing, this will make your logistics fleet very successful in being able to know fixed maintenance costs and measure the quality of truck performance.

Improve the reliability of supply chains

  • Reduce delivery delays

As I've decided European Transport Organization (ETO) 18% of cargo delivery delays in Europe were due to tire failures in 2022. This indicator highlights the importance of choosing the right tires for the logistics fleet to avoid increased tire failures. In remote areas and unexpected roads, off-road tires can be used to reduce the risk to the least possible. All these developments and improvements are in the interest of the transport sector because they give high reliability to logistics services, especially in the Arab world.

  • The geopolitical challenge of rail transport

When trucks travel towards the North-South corridor between Russia and Iran, it is best to rely on durable tires that can withstand sharp changes in temperatures, and high strength in the tread and lateral layers to withstand rough terrain on unpaved roads. This is why the geopolitical challenge is a challenge that must be overcome by equipping trucks with the best tires in terms of quality and durability, because trips between countries and borders require submission to the harshest environmental conditions and significant weather changes that are not considered, resulting in delays in international transport and international trade between the two countries, which politically affect public relations.

Enhance safety on commercial roads

  • Reducing accidents caused by tires

Tires (tires) are the parts that speak directly to streets and roads. The language of dialogue between them determines safety and lack of safety. The National Traffic Safety Administration in the United States of America (NHTSA) says that 22% of major truck accidents in the United States occurred due to worn tires or faulty tires, which boosts demand for safer tires that cause less accidents, while stressing that the primary role in reducing the accident rate falls to drivers, but tires can contribute to reducing this load by nearly half through anti-slip techniques and techniques such as (Anti-Skid), which It offers 50% slip protection on wet roads as well as other technologies related to the design of the tread that is compatible with different environments.

  • Keeping the cargo intact

Trucks transport many sensitive goods, which poses great challenges in providing high traffic stability on the roads. 5-7% of sensitive goods such as electronic devices and the like are due to changes and created tire pressure, which results in abnormal vibrations and unexpected interaction with bumps, which significantly affect goods. These matters can be avoided by using a professional team in arranging and organizing goods in trucks, in addition to ensuring that the air pressure inside the tires is adjusted equally. These matters may provide drivers with stability on the track without vibrations or problems related to goods.

How does Derbek Truck Tire Manufacturing Company affect the Saudi economy?

Darbek Tire Manufacturing Company It started its major journey in entering the truck tire markets by providing original tires designed specifically for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Gulf. The company has not overlooked the Arab and Saudi character, especially in the names of tires, in order to provide the best national choice for Saudi citizens. This strong entry with high-quality products directly affects the development of the Saudi economy in general.

The effects of these products on the fields of government and private logistics are reflected in the support provided by Derbek to its customers who rely on Darbek tires in their logistics fleets. This impact is in relation to the main sector, which depends largely on tires, but the economic impact does not depend on one sector. Every citizen in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a share of this prosperity. The entry of Darbek tires into the market means that goods reach their distributors faster and safer, which enhances production in different sectors that import raw materials.

At the end of this article, it is clear that the impact of truck tires on the global economy on the one hand and Saudi Arabia on the other is a complex network of relationships and interactions that extend across sectors and borders. From rubber plantations in Southeast Asia to distribution centers in Europe, America and the Middle East, from research and development laboratories to automated production lines, truck tires play a pivotal role in shaping and steering the global economy.

With continued technological development and increasing interest in sustainability, truck tires will continue to be a key element in the global economic growth equation. By understanding this economic relationship, we can contribute to developing these sectors and improving their quality as required by the current situation.
