Fulda launches Regio Series 3 commercial vehicle tyres

A new generation of Fulda truck tyres is now available. These are the Fulda Regiocontrol 3 steer axle, Regioforce 3 drive axle and Regiotonn 3 trailer fitments. Fulda designed all three tyres to be capable of tackling both “long distance and demanding urban applications, whatever the weather.”

The tyre maker states that its development foci were mileage, fuel efficiency, handling and traction. The range features a deep tread, an optimised mix of blades and robust blocks and a non-directional tread pattern. “This makes them highly versatile and ideal for the operator who has to work in different climates and types of journey,” comments Fulda. The Fulda Regio Series 3 range is 3PMSF marked for compliance with European winter regulations.

Regiocontrol 3

The Regiocontrol 3 steer tyre includes a 5-rib tread design with solid shoulder ribs to reduce shoulder wear. Compared to its predecessor, the wearable rubber volume has been increased by up to four per cent, resulting in higher mileage. The tread pattern features zig-zag sipes to increase grip. Selected sizes have a higher load capability. Fulda notes that this makes the tyre ideal for the latest generation of trucks that have a higher weight over the front axle due to Euro 6 and electrification-related components.

Regioforce 3

The drive tyre, Regioforce 3, also has a 5-rib, zig-zag groove tread design and semi-open shoulder ribs with stiffeners. Fulda explains that this innovation improves water drainage and reduces shoulder wear, providing the traction and mileage potential that value-seeking fleet operators demand. Both this and the steer tyre are retreadable and regroovable.

Regiotonn 3

A high-load trailer tyre requires the same type of technology as the tractor unit in order to deliver all-weather performance. The Regiotonn 3 delivers this performance by having deep sipes down to two-thirds of the full tread depth. This means that the tyre provides excellent trailer stability until late in the tyre’s life, says Fulda. The design also enables the Regiotonn 3 to achieve low rolling resistance.
