Nokian Tyres invented the world’s first winter tire called “Kelirengas” or “Weather Tire” in 1934. It was specifically designed for trucks to navigate the harsh winters of the North. However, as passenger car traffic began to increase, winter tires were gradually produced for passenger cars, and the name was changed to Hakkapeliitta. 

Nokian Heavy Tyres designs and manufactures special tires and wheels for heavy-duty machinery, as well as retreads for commercial vehicle tires. These products were granted the Key Flag Symbol and Design From Finland label last year. Now the Association for Finnish Work has also awarded the Design from Finland label to the company's truck and bus tires, which are designed in Nokia, Finland.
