At present, Goodtrip has two tyre models available here; GP-16 and GR-66.
Goodtrip Tyres Are Now Available in Malaysia
Goodtrip Tires from China is a semi-steel tyre brand produced by Jiangsu General Technology Co Ltd, Hongdou Group. The company is committed to improving the safety, handling, quietness and comfort features of the tyre through advanced technology, research and development to create high-performance, high-quality products.
Jiangsu General Technology (stock code: 601500) is a holding subsidiary company of Hongdou Group, a key enterprise group in the Jiangsu Province and one of the 120 national pilot companies committed to reforming the way in which to operate. Listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in September 2016, it focuses on modern high-tech enterprises in the development, production and sale of various tyres. The company has two production bases, one each in Wuxi, Jiangsu and Thailand, and is supported by a professional marketing team and perfect marketing network. It has developed more than 10,000 image stores and sign shops in China and is the leading company in the truck and general tyre replacement market there.
Hock Lian Hin Sdn Bhd is the authorised distributor of Goodtrip tyres in Malaysia. The company was founded in 1963. After three generations, it rose from a tyre repair shop to the now established tyre wholesaler and distributor, and boasts of more than 50 years of experience in the development of the local market and expansion of the tyre business. Hock Lian Hin is optimistic on Goodtrip tyres and believes that Malaysian consumers would be satisfied with the quality of these tyres.
Hock Lian Hin Sales Director Dato Nicholas Yu said at the tyre launch ceremony: “Hock Lian Hin was founded by my grandfather, Yu Shi Tian. At that time, Grandpa took my father to sell truck tyres. In 1973, he started a small shop. Ten years later, the second branch was established in Sri Petaling and the company began selling car tyres and became a car service centre.”
He continued: “From 1985, Hock Lian Hin became a wholesaler, on a small scale initially, and has remained so until today. I sincerely thank all the manufacturers and tyre dealers for their support and care in helping Hock Lian Hin become what it is today. Therefore, this promotion ceremony should bring good news to everyone. Hock Lian Hin is honoured to cooperate with Jiangsu General Technology in bringing the Goodtrip brand tyres to Malaysia.”
He said: “We have been analysing and researching tyres with good development potential and good quality in the market. We eventually felt that Goodtrip is the best choice and the company would continue to promote the brand and tyres in the Malaysia.”
To vigorously introduce Goodtrip tyres here, Hock Lian Hin held a tyre launch ceremony at the M Tree Hotel in Puchong on 20th June, 2019. Cheng Jinyuan, Sales Director of Jiangsu General Technology, engineer Wen Hui, general manager Jessie Chen and foreign trade sales executive Vivi Chen made a special trip to Malaysia to participate in the event.
After the brief by Cheng Jinyuan and Wen Hui on General Technology and the process of tyre production, the tyre dealers and guests attending the event came away with a better understanding of the company and Goodtrip tyres. This was expected to instil the confidence in them to promote this range of new tyres.
The sale of Goodtrip tyres in Malaysia began in March 2019. In just three months, the brand achieved good consumer response, indicating that Goodtrip tyres were worth the money.
At present, Goodtrip has two tyre models available here; GP-16 and GR-66.
The GP-16 is a value segment tyre that is comfortable, safe and quiet. It is mainly suitable for general cars, with tyre sizes ranging from 13 to 15 inches.
The GR-66 is a sporty UHP tyre with an asymmetrical tread design that ensures excellent dry grip with four wide longitudinal grooves, fine grooves with laterally transverse grooves and a unique tread formula. It also excels in wet road handling performance. Tyre sizes range from 16 to 18 inches.
Currently, the Goodtrip tyres are produced in China as the Thai production line is just getting into full swing. It would be in 2020 that Malaysia would introduce Goodtrip tyres produced in Thailand, along with 4×4 tyres and other models. By then, a more comprehensive range of tyre models and sizes would available for consumers to choose from.
瑞途轮胎进军大马市场
瑞途轮胎（Goodtrip Tires）源自中国，为江苏通用科技股份有限公司旗下生产的半钢轮胎品牌，由红豆集团致力于通过先进的技术研发，将轮胎的安全性、操控性、静音性以及舒适性同步提升，打造高性能、高品质轮胎产品。
江苏通用科技股份有限公司（股票代码：601500）是江苏省重点企业集团、全中国 120 家深化改革试点企业——红豆集团的控股子公司，2016 年 9 月在中国上海证券交易所上市，是一家专注各种轮胎研发、生产和销售的现代化高新技术企业。公司在中国无锡、泰国建有两大生产基地，拥有稳定、专业的营销团队和完善的营销网络，在全中国开发了 10，000 余家形象店、招牌店，是中国卡车轮胎替换市场的领军企业之一。
福联兴私人有限公司（Hock Lian Hin Sdn Bhd）是 瑞途轮胎在马来西亚的授权总代理。该公司创始于 1963 年，经过 3 代相传，从一间轮胎维修店至现在举足轻重的轮胎批发和分销商，超过 50 年对本地市场的发展和扩展轮胎业务的经验，福联兴对瑞途轮胎保持乐观的前景，并深信大马消费者将会对瑞途轮胎的品质感到满意。
福联兴销售总监拿督尤芳源先生（Dato Nicholas Yu）在推介礼上表示：“福联兴由我爷爷尤世天老先生创办。当时爷爷带着父亲售賣卡车輪胎安装生意。到了 1973 年，才拥有属于自己小小的店铺。而再过另一个十年，在大城堡成立第二家分店并才开始接触汽车轮胎以及汽车服务中心。”
他继续道：“福联兴有限公司从1985 年成为小型批发商至到今天。我在此衷心感謝所有的厂家与輪胎商客户，是你们的支持与关爱，才能让福联兴有限公司发展到今天的规模。这次的推介礼，我要带个好消息给大家。福联兴有限公司很荣幸能和江苏通用科技股份有限公司合作，将瑞途品牌輪胎引进马来西亚。”
他指出：“我们早前不断分析和研究市场上具有发展潜力且品质好的轮胎，最后认为瑞途轮胎是最佳的选择，而公司今后也将继续在大马扩展该品牌和其产品。”
为了为瑞途轮胎登陆大马市场造势，福联兴特别于6 月 20 日在蒲种 M Tree 酒店举办了一个轮胎推介礼。江苏通用科技股份有限公司常务副总经理程金元、工程师文辉、外贸经理陈洁以及外贸销售员陈薇薇也专程从中国飞抵马来西亚见证这一场盛会。
经过程金元、工程师文辉对通用科技股份有限公司介绍以及轮胎生产过程讲解后，所有出席的轮胎代理商和嘉宾们都对该公司的背景和瑞途轮胎有了更深入的了解，从而更有信心推销这系列新轮胎。
瑞途轮胎于 2019 年 3 月才开始在大马销售，短短 3 个月时间就已取得消费者良好反应，纷纷表示瑞途轮胎物有所值。
目前在大马发售的瑞途轮胎型号有两款，GP-16 和 GR-66。
GP-16 为经济型轮胎，具有经济耐磨、舒适安全以及静音特性，主要适合一般轿车使用，轮胎尺寸选择从 13 至 15 寸。

目前大马销售的是中国生产的瑞途轮胎，但泰国生产线已如火如荼全力投入建设，预期到了2020年大马就能引进从泰国生产的瑞途轮胎，同时也将会引进四驱车轮胎和其他更全面的轮胎型号与尺寸，供消费者选择。
