retreadability will also help fleets to reduce costs and improve their environmental impact. The new design and strict manufacturing process will ensure consistent performance and safety throughout the entire life of the tyre.
Many new technologies are incorporated in the new product line, including new materials, new compounds, new production process, new belt structure and new pattern design. Additionally, in order to further enhance the product’s strength and sustainable development, the company says it will continue to invest in employee training, new laboratory instruments, methodology and continuous process improvement. The Neo Series is the first result of the collaboration with Prometeon Tyre Group, formerly Pirelli Industrial.
The third generation products are named the “Neo” series in order to differentiate from the forerunner generation products. With a new brand logo and a more attractive sidewall design, the end user can easily distinguish these new products from AEOLUS’ first and second generation products.
The “fuel” series includes three patterns, which are “Neo Fuel S”, “Neo Fuel D” and “Neo Fuel T+”. Nine products of this series are available, and another two products will be released in the near future. This series is designed for long-
distance transportation on the highway and mainly focuses on reduced rolling resistance and uneven wear, offering customers improved fuel consumption and longer mileage at the same time. The “All-Road” series includes six patterns, which are “Neo Allroads S/S+”, “Neo Allroads D/D+” and “Neo Allroads T/T+”. Two products of this series are available now and
