Finally, RIDEMAX FROST is designed to meet winter challenges. Its elastic compound ensures top performance even below zero, making the tyre ideal for transportation on snowy or icy surfaces, combining safety and comfort.
A sustainable future
In 2024, BKT reduced non-renewable electricity consumption by 26 per cent, saving 28,000 tons of CO2. 99 per cent of the generated waste was recycled or reused, leading to a significant reduction in plastic waste. In addition, 25,000 trees were planted, and water withdrawal was reduced in endangered areas.
