Trelleborg’s ProgressiveTraction™ tire, which took center stage on Trelleborg’s stand at the LAMMA 2015 exhibition, was specifically developed to increase tire efficiency and performance thanks to a double lug. Operating on the soil at different times, the double lug progressively releases higher traction where and when required.

The double lug also provides the tire with superior floatation capability, ensuring an even pressure distribution over the extra wide footprint, boosting the yield of crops while preserving soil from compaction and erosion.

Piero Mancinelli, R&D Director, Agricultural and Forestry Tires at Trelleborg Wheel Systems commented: “At Trelleborg, we hold a long-standing commitment to helping farming professionals produce more with less. To be recognized so enthusiastically in this category is testament to the ProgressiveTraction™ tire’s ability to not only help farming professionals achieve higher efficiency and greater productivity, but do so with the maximum respect of the environment.

“The UK’s largest agricultural machinery show, the LAMMA awards represent a high standard of technical innovation. As such, we are delighted to win with such strong competition from an array of industries to receive the coveted award.”
