AutoSock\u00a0is exhibiting it range of reusable textile \u201csocks\u201d at EuroBus Expo,\u00a0which takes place at the\u00a0NEC in Birmingham, November 6-8. \u00a0The AutoSock\u00a0is reusable textile \u2018sock\u2019 which is pulled over the\u00a0driving wheels of\u00a0vehicles which need extra grip on ice or snow.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0grip is achieved through friction, coupled with high tech textiles. The\u00a0AutoSock is quick and easy to\u00a0fit and remove. No special training is\u00a0required \u2013 and they fold up for easy storage to about the size of a\u00a0shirt.<\/p>\n
AutoSock created the vehicle snow sock concept well over 10 years\u00a0ago; all its products have full T\u00dcV\u00a0approval, and its car socks are\u00a0supplied as Original Equipment to numerous car manufacturers.<\/p>\n
This will be the first time that the AutoSock has been shown at\u00a0EuroBus Expo. Buses and coaches\u00a0probably have the most need of any type\u00a0of vehicle to be able to keep moving safely in snowy weather,\u00a0even just\u00a0to get to the nearest service station. Snowfall in the UK and Ireland\u00a0often happens without\u00a0much warning, so it\u2019s important to be prepared.<\/p>\n
\u201cAttending a show like this will give us a fantastic opportunity to\u00a0meet new contacts,\u201d says\u00a0David\u00a0Cannom of John Jordan Limited, UK and\u00a0Ireland distributors for AutoSock. \u201cIf the right people carried\u00a0AutoSock\u00a0there\u2019d be no excuse for the roads being blocked by vehicles when the\u00a0snow falls faster than\u00a0it can be cleared. We have a simple and effective\u00a0solution and feel a real responsibility to try and get\u00a0the message out.\u00a0Many of our fleet customers also use AutoSock to move safely and easily\u00a0around\u00a0their depots, and to get to the main roads.\u201d<\/p>\n
