We have been retreading truck and light truck tyres in our own factories out of conviction since 1993:
We have now given well over 2 million tyres a second life, making a significant contribution to environmental protection, waste avoidance and CO2 savings.
Positive benefits of our plants since opening:
CO2 emissions saved
0 t
Material savings
0 t
Oil saving
0 t
We started cold retreading in Hammelburg over 30 years ago and have continued to invest in our plants ever since.
We are proud to be able to count our plants among the most modern in Europe.
Retreaded truck tyres: positive eco-balance in production
According to a study by the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT, retreaded truck tyres have a significantly better carbon footprint in production than high-quality new tyres of comparable quality. The study analysed new as well as hot, cold and factory retreaded truck traction tyres (315/70 R22.5 154/150L) from various brands.
A retreaded truck tyre produces around 135 kg or around two thirds less CO2 emissions during the manufacturing process compared to a new truck tyre with rolling resistance class D. This underlines the environmental benefits of retreading in the commercial vehicle sector. More information on https://runderneuert.de/oekobilanz-2022/
