Michelin Commits to Saving Children's Lives

From May 4th to May 10th, 2015, under the auspices of the United Nations, the whole world will celebrate the 3rd Global Road Safety Week, dedicated this year to children.


As a major actor of Global Road Safety, the Michelin group is taking part in this event to reassert its commitment to save always more lives.
