Vacu-Lug has recently added two new Logistik tyres – the LD01 315/80R22.5 drive tyre and the LT01 385/65R22.5 trailer tyre – to its hugely popular Logistik range. The range, manufactured for both regional and highway applications within the commercial vehicle transport sector, is designed to reduce rolling resistance and increase the KM potential for the operator. At the same time, the company’s focus is on maximising efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of its manufacturing processes.
As part of Vacu-Lug’s efficiency improvements, through its ORBIT (optimised retreading built-in time) programme, it continues to invest heavily in the latest technologies and processes, including automated conveyer systems, LED lighting and twelve-segment, high-pressure tyre presses (to produce its Logistik drive range). These developments are aimed at improving operational efficiency, control of work-in-progress and health and safety.
Vacu-Lug’s new Logistik LD01 drive and Logistik Supersingle LT01 trailer tyres were shown alongside a selection of Duramold tyres, including the new 315/70R22.5 T100 drive, at this years CV Show at Birmingham’s NEC.
“To say we were pleased with the response from the CV show is an understatement.” Says Vacu-Lug Sales Director, Dave Alsop. “Clearly, there is still a strong demand for premium retread tyres in the HGV sector, as it would appear that some of the very cheap imports are not proving to be as cost-effective as expected.
“Retreading is a key part of the UK truck tyre industry with a significant proportion of replacement tyres sold being retreads.” adds Dave. “As such, we continually upgrade and invest in our manufacturing processes to ensure that Vacu-Lug remains at the leading edge of this important industry sector. This way, our customers can continue to use reliable retread tyres as part of a well-managed and cost-conscious fleet.”
