Dezent Launch New Motion 2 Wheel

Alcar, purportedly the UK’s largest wheel importer and wholesaler, has released details of a new wheel from Dezent; The Motion 2. The sequel to the first Motion design, the new rim showcases a ‘Y’ spoke profile that tips its hat towards some of the great competition designs of the ‘80s and ‘90s. In fact, the wheel doesn’t just boast trackside looks, thanks to a unique heat-treating process during casting and an impressively light 6.6 kg weight on the 15-inch version, these are genuine track-ready wheels that have already been proven in the heat of battle in the Toyo Tyres Racing Saloon series.

Will Colder Temperatures Prompt Winter Tyre Change?

Many UK readers of tyrepress.com will have woken up this morning to temperatures approaching freezing point; before the morning drive in Stoke-on-Trent, the hometown of Tyres & Accessories Towers, the sudden need to root out the ice-scraper and turn the blowers up high did not go un-noted. With temperatures to continue in this vein throughout the week, will UK drivers’ thoughts extend beyond the purchase of a new can of demister and head towards the tyres, just as last year’s cold weather brought on a rush to fit more suitable rubber for the conditions?

Ag Contractor “Boosts Productivity” with Michelin’s XeoBib

General agricultural contractor ACS has reported improved productivity as a result of replacing standard 540/65R28 and 650/65R38 tyres with 600/60 R28 and 710/60 R38 XeoBib tyres, which contain Michelin’s Ultraflex technology. The tyre reduces tractor downtime imposed by changing pressures for varied workloads and on and off-road conditions. Since tractor tyres are predominantly intended for use off-road they are designed to generate low ground pressure to reduce soil compaction. Their use on road requires higher tyre pressures; a factor that becomes more critical as modern farming requires higher road speeds and increased distances travelled.

Continental E-invoicing System Nominated for Industry Oscars

Continental’s E-invoicing system not only won the innovation awards at this year’s Reifen Essen 2010 in June, but was also nominated for one of the NTDA’s Tyre and Fast Fit (TAFF) awards here in the UK. So what’s all the fuss about? Continental’s new electronic invoicing system, which provides improved recording and exchange of invoicing and credit notes between Continental and customers, is designed to make business life easier, but it also shows the company’s environmental credentials.

For some time Continental has been working to reduce complexity and wastage in its back office solutions to make life simpler for customers and reduce the effect on the environment. The introduction in 2010 of a new electronic invoicing system that provides improved recording and exchange of invoices and credit notes between Continental and tyre retail customers is said to have achieved this. And savings on paper and transport both have positive effects on both economy and protecting the environment.
