Melton Mowbray, UK - Leicestershire-based transport operator Charles Brown & Son Haulage Limited has become the first UK operator to fit Westlake tires, produced by China’s largest domestic tire manufacturer, to its fleet since Vacu-Lug was appointed sole UK distributorship for the brand.
Charles Brown & Son has so far fitted Westlake units to the steer axles of six Scania tractor units out of its fleet of 16. The initial batch have now proven themselves in service across a variety of demanding transport applications, says the customer, so the company's remaining vehicles will also be fitted with Westlake tires as replacements become due.
