TÜV SÜD test mark for Prinx Chengshan DR606

After extensive testing, the DR606 has become the first tyre from Prinx Chengshan to receive the TÜV SÜD test mark. The organisation evaluated the truck tyre for wet braking, pass-by noise, rolling resistance and robustness.

“The cooperation with TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH is very important for us as a European subsidiary of Prinx Chengshan in order to carry out a neutral, very high-quality test of our tyre products under the highest TÜV standards and to target our products specifically to the European market,” says Thomas Wohlgemuth, managing director of Prinx Chengshan Tire Europe. “If our tyres pass the TÜV test, this immediately provides proof of the quality and performance of our tyres.”

The certified Prinx Chengshan DR606 is a drive axle fitment within the tyre maker’s new on-road series for regional and long-distance traffic. Prinx Chengshan says it offers first-class mileage, excellent durability and retreadability, adding that the tyre impresses with good performance in all-season use and offers excellent traction on dry, wet and snowy roads thanks to its ‘Cap & Base’ tread design, while at the same time providing low fuel consumption due to its optimised rolling resistance.

“We are very pleased that our DR606 drive axle tyre has been certified with the internationally renowned and coveted German TÜV-Süd tyre seal. For us as an international company, it is both a milestone and a testament to the outstanding quality of our tyres,” Wohlgemuth continues. “We also see increased development opportunities for the European market on the basis of the quality seal, because the certificate has a signalling power: it is perceived and accepted accordingly by the market and creates confidence in our product.”

Prinx Chengshan developed the DR606 in China and Europe; production takes place in Thailand.
