Hankook to unveil new Alphatread range at CV Show
Hankook is set to unveil a new environmentally conscious bead to bead retread truck tyre range, the ‘Alphatread’ at the upcoming Commercial Vehicle Show in April.
The new Alphatread range aims to meet customer demands to reduce the running costs of their fleets by providing a ‘cradle to grave’ tyre solution.
Hankook will be located in Hall 5 on stand G110 where the company will present the future of bead to bead truck tyre retreading with the brand new environmentally friendly, cost saving tyre solution, the ‘Alphatread’.
The ever increasing demands in the area of environmental friendliness and continued pressure upon fleets to reduce their running costs have led to the development of the new Alphatread range. The Hankook Alphatread has been specifically designed to maximise mileage as the casings of Hankook’s first life A1 grade tyres are used to mirror Hankook’s existing tyre patterns to produce the Alphatread tyre.
The Alphatread R-DH05 shall initially consist of two drive axle tyre sizes, 295/80 R22.5 and 315/80 R22.5 which shall provide excellent wet and dry performance with a wide profile for stability and unique compound for long lasting wear. The Alphatread R-TH22 trailer axle tyre shall be available in 385/65 R22.5 proving a bespoke 5 rib tread design and cool running compound for optimum performance.
The Alphatread range boats a unique tear-resistant tread design maximising durability and the wide flat profile improves stability and reduces uneven wear. The deep groves help to ensure maximised mileage potential in all weather conditions.
Tony Lee, Managing Director of Hankook Tyre UK said “Hankook firmly remain one of the market leaders in R&D as we continue to invest in the development of environmentally conscious products which aim to reduce running costs and meet the demands of our valued customer base. The new Alphatread range acts as an all-encompassing ‘cradle to grave’ tyre solution.”
The Hankook Alphatread range will be available in second quarter in 2013.
