The “Technical Support Guide for TBR and Bus Tyres” which Falken Tyre Europe GmbH published in English for its customers throughout Europe last summer is now available in several additional language versions. From now on, the popular guide for registered customers is available to download at both the B2B web shop and the media centre in the languages of English, German, Spanish, Polish, Italian and Greek. Additional languages are already in preparation.
Due to the increasing cost pressure – which is also affecting the transport industry – and to further improve its technical customer service, Falken decided to create a detailed guide in which the Japanese brand provides useful information to its customers to help them make cost savings when it comes to their tyres. The guide also contains information on use-related recommendations, tyre pressure and the basics. Another section discusses the usual forms of damage suffered by tyres during their use, and how this can be avoided.
Which parameters influence the ultimate performance of commercial vehicle tyres, and why is winter the ideal time of year to fit new tyres to HGVs and buses? Why do tyres suffer irregular wear patterns, and what steps are recommended in these cases to make the best possible use of the tyre despite this? These are just some of the questions that the customers of Falken can find answers to in the “TECHNICAL COMPANION for HGV and Bus Tyres”.
The fact that Falken places considerable emphasis on service and customer support is further confirmed by the two new air pressure tables for HGV and commercial vehicle tyres which the company has made available to its customers as A2-format posters. After all, air pressure plays a key role when it comes to issues such as tyre safety, efficiency and durability. The posters are initially available for download in English and German in the web shop. On request, the customer advisers at Falken will also be happy to send hard-copy posters to their customers.
At its stand in Hall 20 of the Autopromotec trade fair, which is taking place from 21st to 24th May in Bologna, Italy, Falken Tyre Europe GmbH will be presenting its wide-ranging assortment of products.
After two victories at the season opener, Falken Motorsports has impressively confirmed its reputation as a top team on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife: At the third round of the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series - the 56th Adenauer ADAC Rundstrecken-Trophy - Morris Schuring, awarded “Driver of the Day”, and Sven Müller secured third place. Tim Heinemann and Dennis Marschall completed the strong team result with fourth place in the second Falken Porsche.
Falken Motorsports were also unstoppable in the second round of the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series, the ADAC Ruhrpott Trophy: Dorian Boccolacci and Alessio Picariello repeated their triumph from the season opener five weeks ago and secured the Japanese tire manufacturer's second win of the season in the teal-and-blue Porsche 911 GT3 R with starting number 3. Their teammates Tim Heinemann and Dennis Marschall completed the strong team result with a respectable fifth place overall in the sister car with the number 4.
