Abstract
In 1995 some 240 million truck tyres (radial bias and cross-ply) were produced of which about 38 or 90 million tyres were those referred to as heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) with remainder being light commercial vehicle (LCV) tyres. The elastomer content of HCV tyres is about 70-90 natural rubber and for LCV tyres is about 65 natural rubber. The paper analyses these statistics and elastomer contents in relation to the importance of truck tyres as major end-uses of natural rubber. The factors influencing the future use of natural rubber in truck tyres are examined and some predictions of future demand are made. The possible influence of this major end-use on the natural rubber price is considered.
