The new E-Truck series by Nokian Tyres: reliable, economical kilometers for every season and axle position
As most transport professionals know, the cheapest tyre is seldom the most economical one. The tyre is expected to cover as much distance as possible while being quiet, safe and comfortable to drive. The rolling resistance affects fuel consumption, and a sturdy carcass makes it possible to retread the tyre – even twice. These demands were the starting points for the new Nokian Tyres’ E-Truck series of all-season truck tyres.
Nokian Tyres’ E-Truck series of all-season truck and bus tyres is optimized for long and medium haul in regular weather conditions. The tyres are perfectly balanced to work well in Central Europe as well as on Nordic main roads.
“With the E-Truck series, we want to bring a new alternative to the European market”, says Teppo Siltanen, Product Manager at Nokian Heavy Tyres. “They are high quality tyres made in Europe, they will be widely available, and can be installed at any time of the year.”
Economical life cycle
The Nokian Tyres’ E-Truck products feature a special rubber compound for all-season use. The optimized groove pattern enables low rolling resistance, and economical as well as ecological kilometers. The drivers also appreciate their comfortable handling and quiet running.
Retreading is an essential part of economical tyre management. The new Nokian E-tread series of retreading materials complement the Nokian Tyres’ E-Truck series, and make it possible to squeeze up to even a million kilometers from one tyre.
