Nokian Tires recently released the Hakkapeliitta Truck E2 – a next-generation drive axle tire for extreme winter conditions.

The tire is the peak of Nokian Tires’ winter know-how for drivers of off-road trucks, timber vehicles, and long-distance commercial buses to counter the most challenging winter conditions.

It combines good grip with safety, low rolling resistance, quiet and comfortable ride.

Performance

The Hakkapeliitta comes with features that reduce the tire road noise and rolling resistance while improving the grip, as well in compliance with the legislation governing noise and fuel consumption.

Nokian Tires designed the Hakkapeliitta Truck E2 tire carcass with the ability to retread once or twice in mind in its tread-life span.

Compared to its predecessor, the E2 has better stability as well as longer grip in both deep and packed snow as it comes with a clever tread pattern.

The tire is very durable and silent on roads, adding comfort and pleasure to riding.

It can be used on gravel roads as well as on highways.

Besides its improved grip and longevity, the Hakkapeliitta E2 winter tire also helps to save fuel and produce less noise.

The Hakkapeliitta Truck E2 is built with compatible retreading materials and stands as a benchmark for all extreme-winter traction tires for over a decade.

While the grip, safety, and comfort of the original Truck E2 are still hard to beat, the new demands set by changing work, trucks, and legislation are the reason for this improved version.

The Hakkapeliitta is built on the tradition of excellence and designed for the most extreme winter demands, minimizing the need for chains on the winding forest roads – hence the letter ‘E’.

The tire offers safety and reliability in winter conditions and is very impressive on dry asphalt.
