Michelin extends CrossClimate range into light truck and van with AGILIS CrossClimate


Michelin is extending its award winning CrossClimate range into light truck and van with the launch of Agilis CrossClimate. It is a summer tyre with a complete winter capability, and heralds a new generation of high performance van and light truck tyres with no mobility compromises in winter conditions as well as on mud and grass; tyres boasting high mileage and low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), safety in all weathers, robustness and damage resistance. The new tyre is designed and conceived from end-user feedback gathered over the last 10 years, and delivers their two crucial demands – a single tyre fitment that delivers all year round mobility in all weather conditions with a robust and damage resistant sidewall. It does this with a rugged tread pattern, made with innovative new rubber compounds and specific new features for sidewall and shoulder protection. As a consequence of the boom in online shopping, and the large increase in local neighbourhood deliveries and heavy vehicle restrictions in towns, the van and light truck is among the fastest growing vehicle segments for new vehicle sales. Additionally, customer expectation on business owners, craftsmen and fleet managers to ensure allyear round availability of deliveries and services, on time, whatever the weather conditions, saw the All-Season van and light truck tyre market increase by 37 percent between 2016 and 2017.
