A reliable winter tyre for medium and long haul usage. Efficient grip, absolute durability and economical driving for extreme conditions. A precise, stable driving response. Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck F is a front tyre designed for demanding professional truck and bus driving. In keeping with the strong Hakkapeliitta tradition, this new front tyre is another manifestation of Nokian Tyres' core expertise: knowledge of winter conditions.
The new tyre's development work started out with an ambitious, brave goal: to introduce the best winter front tyre in the world. It provides professional drivers with efficient grip, uncompromised durability and economic driving. Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck F was designed for the rapidly changing, challenging and tricky winter conditions. Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck F is a relentless, reliable traveller of medium and long distances. This multipurpose tyre is at home on broad main roads but can as easily cope with the challenges of winding small roads or distant forest roads.
Siping to ensure absolute grip
The Spiral Sipe System, developed by the northern tyre factory, ensures unique grip properties for the front tyre. Thanks to the dense siping, the longitudinal sipes in particular, the new tyre has up to a 15% better lateral grip on ice and packed snow than its predecessor. The new front tyre's groove bottoms are shaped to resist small rocks from gravel or chippings. The groove bottom design and rock removers prevent rocks from sticking on the tyre. Preventing sharp rocks from harming the tyre body in this way extends the tyre's service life and makes it more suitable for retreading.
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
