Nokian Hakka Truck Drive tyre for trucks and buses wins busplaner innovations prize
The new all-season tyre for buses from Nokian Heavy Tyres withstands slush and therefore convinced the readers of the industry magazine in the Technology category.
The new "Nokian Hakka Truck Drive" all-season tyre for buses by Nokian Heavy Tyres was selected by 43 percent of readers of busplaner, the German industry magazine for bus contractors and travel businesses, to stand on the winner's podium. The innovation: A V-shaped arrow pattern on the surface of the tyre prevents slush and snow from getting into the tread grooves. This maintains the grip on snow slush as well. During the wearing process, additional grooves gradually emerge and the lamellae automatically generate themselves.
The Nokian Hakka Truck Drive is an all-season drive tyre for long and medium distances in the freight and bus transport industry. The tyre was designed for the changing weather conditions in Central Europe, and has excellent wear resistance, a strong grip and very good driving stability. The Nokian Hakka Truck Drive completes the Nokian-Hakka product family, which already includes tyres for the front axle and for trailers.
