“We are honoured that DEUTZ-FAHR has selected our Traxion tyres for its Series 6 tractors. This decision comes in response to the increased demand from contractors and farmers operating DEUTZ-FAHR tractors, who appreciate the value of Vredestein tyres,” said Laurence Bennett, Head Off-Highway Tyres at Apollo Tyres. “Our Traxion technology is designed to deliver superior performance, with enhanced traction, comfort and extended tyre life – all crucial factors for demanding agricultural work. This partnership reflects the strong reputation we’ve built in the market.”
The Vredestein Traxion features a curved lug design, with extra rubber in the centre for optimal on-road comfort and high wear resistance. The unique non-parallel lugs diverge towards the shoulder of the tread, providing additional traction and excellent self-cleaning capabilities in the field.
DEUTZ-FAHR announced the new Vredestein OE partnership with Apollo Tyres during the 2024 EIMA trade fair, held in Bologna, Italy.
