Vacu-Lug Signs Royal Mail Tyre Contract
Vacu-Lug Traction Tyres Limited has been awarded a contract to supply all the retreads for Royal Mail Group Ltd’s trailer fleet. The agreement, which runs for two years with an option to extend for a further two years, will see Vacu-Lug Duramold retreads fitted on a rolling basis as replacements for all worn or damaged 385/65 R22.5 tyres on the Royal Mail Group's 22.5 inch trailer fleet.
According to a statement detailing the news, environmental concerns were an important factor behind Royal Mail Group's decision to opt for Vacu-Lug Duramold Tyres. As an organisation committed to reducing its environmental impact, Royal Mail Group said it recognises the need to work with suppliers which also regard the environment as a key consideration through out the lifecycle of its product.
“From our point of view we are delighted to be associated with a premium name such as Royal Mail Group Limited,” said Vacu-Lug managing director Tim Hercock. “Minimising an operator’s impact upon the environment is key driver for us today and we are naturally delighted this has been appreciated by Royal Mail Group Limited.”
Vacu-Lug Duramold retread tyres are manufactured from premium first-life casings. As such, they are suitable for use in a variety of applications, including long-haul, distribution, construction and waste. Duramold retreads are available as either drive or trailer tyres and in a full range of sizes from 16 to 22.5-inch rims.
