urban buses and trucks. One of the most important characteristics of the DV-UM3 is its improved heat dispersion. On the other hand, the pre- cured tread DV-RM is designed for the retreading of interurban buses and trucks. As it is a lighter tread, it helps to conserve the casing, increasing the level of reusability. Another newly launched product is the pre-cured tread DV-RT2, developed for the retreading of radial tyres on the drive axles of long-distance freight transport vehicles.
Other exclusive products also
on show at Reifen will include the ECO pre-cured treads, which are great tools for helping fleet and truck owners to reduce their costs and are part of Vipal’s Sustainable Transport project. They are identified with a green dashed line and a label with the name ECO. “Tests carried out with ECO treads have proven a fuel saving of up to 10 per cent and a gain of up to 6 per cent in endurance,” states the head of marketing, Eduardo Sacco.
At this year’s Reifen trade fair Kraiburg Austria will be demonstrating in galactic style that it has the right pattern, the right compound and the best service for every requirement and application. The retreading specialist will be there from 5th to 8th June showcasing the innovations in its K_base, K_tech and K_plus ranges. One highlight will be the further development of the K_side and K_wide technology. Another treat in store for trade fair visitors is a live presentation and the first set of test results for the Kraiburg innovation team: the department is working flat out on a totally new curing system for EM tyres. Apart from the informative part – including news about tyre labelling and the other Kraiburg operations – there will also be plenty of opportunity for making contact and networking. All customers and busi¬ness partners are welcome to have a drink at the company’s stand from 5:30 pm on¬ward. As in previous years, Kraiburg will be in the “Galeria” on Stand GA 109 right by the passageway to Hall 3.
