Top Contributor: Lawrence Gu | Created when NYSE:GT was $11.61 | Edit | History

GT recently entered agreements with the US military to develop fuel-efficient tires for the army. GT announced that it is the exclusive developer of these fuel-effcient military tires, dubbed the Fuel Efficient Ground Vehicle Demonstrator (FED) program. The FED program, launched in late-2008 by the U.S. Army's Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC). This project is sure to help GT diversify its consumer base, as well as increase the concentration of US sales which have recently given way to sales in the volatile emerging markets.
