Less than two years after announcing the project, Nokian officially opened its new tyre plant in Oradea on 19 September 2024. The Finnish tyre manufacturer sees the whole thing as a milestone. But not just for itself. First and foremost, it wants to use the new building to increase the production capacity it has lacked since it closed its production site in Russia. Apart from that, however, the plant is also a milestone for the tyre industry as a whole, as it is the industry’s ‘first carbon dioxide-free factory’ and demonstrates the potential for sustainable tyre production. The motto of the opening ceremony was therefore ‘Lead to Zero’, which probably means that Nokian sees itself in a pioneering role in this respect.

While Nokian Tyres opened a new test centre in Spain a good three years ago and presented the so-called ‘Hakka Ring’ to a wider public for the first time this spring, the Finnish tyre manufacturer still has a lot going on. This primarily refers to the recent official opening of its new tyre plant in Oradea, less than a year and a half after the foundation stone was laid and less than two years after the decision was made to locate the plant in Romania, less than 20 kilometres from the Hungarian border.

As a kind of search for the best SUV tyre solution, AutoBild Allrad pitted seven models from the same manufacturer – in this case Pirelli – against each other. The test specifically compared 255/55 R19 products on dry and wet roads, including their respective aquaplaning safety as a separate sub-discipline, as well as in winter conditions, off-road use or in terms of their environmental properties. “There is no one tyre that can do everything,” was the final conclusion.

If you look at the last three generations of Conti winter tyres, almost anyone in the industry could guess the next name in the range ‘WinterContact TS 850’ (2012), ‘WinterContact TS 860’ (2015) and ‘WinterContact TS 870’ (2020/2021). But we would all be wrong. As was previously the case with its summer tyres and the ‘EcoContact 7’ and ‘EcoContact 7 S’ models, the manufacturer has now also introduced a new winter profile without making a big fuss about it, which, contrary to the naming convention previously used for its winter tyres, is called ‘WinterContact 8 S’. The ‘S’ in the name obviously stands for sport, as the manufacturer describes the model as its sportiest winter tyre to date.

After entering India’s motorcycle tyre business a good two years earlier, at the end of 2018 Apollo Tyres announced plans to introduce motorcycle tyres in European markets. It even presented the first local products – Centauro ST, Centauro Road and (for Scooters) Staccata early in 2020, along with the promise of a two-wheel TPMS system. But after that, everything went quiet until Apollo Tyres confirmed suspending its European rollout due to “high demand for motorcycle tyres in the Indian market” and “limited production capacities.” Yves Pouliquen, head of sales and marketing at Apollo Tyres Europe, recently provided an update on the company’s two-wheeler plans.
Everyone’s talking about the introduction of tyre labelling in November. But we should also be aware that at the same time that the so-called fridge labels are being mandatorily applied to tyres, another rule stipulating that all new cars must fit TPMS is being implemented. The law stipulates that all models homologated since July 2012 have to be manufactured with an appropriate Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). From 2014 it will be broadened to include all cars being sold into the market in order to cover any cars not yet mandated. What both dates mean is that there are going to be lots of TPMS equipped cars on the road very soon and tyre retailers need to be ready to service them professionally and take advantage of this business opportunities this provides. It also means that direct TPMS manufacturers are ramping up production in order to meet increased demand from both the OE and replacement markets.
ATS Euromaster will supply a full range of car, van, 4×4, truck and agricultural tyres, from premium to budget fitments, to every public sector organisation across the UK for the next four years, following the completion of a comprehensive tender process. The multi-brand supply deal will include the nation’s fire engines, ambulances, prison vehicles and local authorities. To enable this, ATS-E was awarded supplier status to public sector organisations across the UK on the Government Procurement Service framework agreement RM955.
