Austone impresses at Truck Grand Prix

Prinx Europe has hailed the response its Austone Tires brand received at the recent Truck Grand Prix at the Nürburgring in Germany.

The manufacturer presented its flagship commercial vehicle tyres from Austone, saying that the blend of interactive and live presentations impressed both fleet operators and truck manufacturers alike.

Between 11th-14th July, Prinx Europe showcased six commercial vehicle tyres from Austone, which are distributed in Ireland by Euro Tyre Sales. This included the ATH 135, described as a “powerhouse for mega trailers”.

At the Nürburgring, the company was supported by sales partners Marangoni Germany and Lowland Tyre Distribution from the Netherlands, who helped answer questions in the Prinx show trailer.

Interactive digital features illustrated the highly technical details within the tyres while the hands-on experience supported the live performance.

Thomas Wohlgemuth, managing director of Prinx Europe, reiterated the event’s main aim of establishing direct connections with truck drivers and the industry to foster meaningful dialogue on the mobility solutions of the future.
