15–20 September 2026 | Hannover, GermanyAs the commercial vehicle transport industry continues to evolve toward greater efficiency, digitalisation and sustainability, fleets are facing increasing demands for operational efficiency, cost control and reliable performance. In this context, tires have become an important factor influencing fuel efficiency, mileage, safety and total cost of ownership (TCO). As one of the world’s leading trade shows for the commercial vehicle and transport indust

Germany has integrated a CO₂ surcharge into its heavy-duty truck toll system, further increasing operating costs for transport companies. Under the new regulation, carbon emissions are priced at €200 per tonne, creating additional cost pressure on truck operators. For vehicles travelling 150,000 km per year, these additional carbon-related costs can further increase the annual operating burden for fleets.In this changing market environment, fleet tire selection criteria are evolving. Fleets are

For transport fleets, the tire purchase price is only one part of the overall operating cost. What truly affects fleet profitability is the total value that tires deliver throughout their entire service life.TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) = Tire Cost + Fuel Cost + Maintenance Cost + Downtime CostTherefore, a lower purchase price does not necessarily mean lower operating costs. A tire with longer service life, lower rolling resistance, and more stable performance can often help fleets achieve a lo

Many drivers only notice a tire pressure issue when the TPMS warning light comes on or the tire appears visibly underinflated. However, even a slight drop below the recommended pressure can have a significant impact on tire performance, driving safety, and operating costs. Five Risks of Driving with Low Tire Pressure1.Excessive Heat Build-Up and Increased Blowout Risk:During long-distance and high-speed operations, heat can build up rapidly inside an underinflated tire, potentially causing
