New products launched by Italians cut fl eet costs
OFFERING outstanding fuel saving options to long-haul fl eet managers, Marangoni Retreading Systems have added two ground-breaking products to the company’s hugely successful RINGTREAD Blackline range. The new RTL FE and RDL FE are fuel effi cient designs that deliver the all-around best compromise to over the road fl eets in traction, fuel saving and mileage, in long haul application.
Specialist engineers at the company estimate the ranges off er fuel savings of as much as 4% per vehicle per year, if applied on top grade rolling resistance casings: approximately €1,680 (or £1,465) per truck per year.
The company’s new RINGTREAD Blackline RTL FE is a brand new innovative Marangoni original design that features 11.5 mm tread, wide shoulders, a solid footprint and utilises a unique wide and small groove combination to deliver minimised high- spec rolling resistance performance. When retreaded on a low rolling resistance casing, it performs to an “A” labelling level - the maximum fuel saving obtained from any performance tyre.
RTL FE is available to fi t any 385/55R22.5 or 385/65R22.5 casing.
The second new off ering from the company comes via another Marangoni original design: the RINGTREAD Blackline RDL FE. The latest evolution of the successful RINGTREAD ENERGECO range off ers a 16.5 mm tread depth, a compact footprint plus a directional pattern designed for greater traction, increased resistance to wear, noise reduction, comfort and 3PMSF
approval. This product brings improved mileage replacement rates, features tied-open shoulders, and three central lines of narrow blocks divided by shape optimised sides that specially limit irregular wear caused by torque increases. When retreaded on a low rolling resistance casing, the RDL FE performs to a “C” labelling level, ensuring signifi cant fuel economy savings from a 3PMSF winter condition tyre.
RDL FE is available to fi t any 315/70R22.5, 295/60R22.5 or 315/60R22.5 casing
Marangoni Retreading Systems, the market leader in the supply of truck tyre retreading technologies and materials with 12 plants and more than 1,300 employees worldwide, designed both products with a new ‘generation’ compound, able to deliver extra economic benefi ts to fl eet managers.
Both patterns were driven by Marangoni’s desire to add extra value for money to their range of products in light of fuel increases caused by global uncertainty.
Marangoni Retreading Systems is a division of the Italian- based Marangoni Group, a leading worldwide developer and distributor materials and technologies for the cold retreading of TBR tyres. The company off ers partners an integrated system of products and services which provide the tools, support and know-how needed to ensure an effi cient retreading process and world class products.
Group integrates Oldbury UK & Boughton Engineering but will retain iconic brands
Skan Group Holdings, the private family owned group which owns both Boughton Engineering and Oldbury UK, is to integrate the two businesses, while retaining the identities and values of both ‘iconic brands.’
Announcing the move, Group Managing Director, Richard Skan said: “In Boughton and Oldbury, we have two of the most respected, indeed iconic and valued brands in the niche engineering market sectors they serve.
“We will keep and develop the clearly defi ned identities of both of these. However, from a commercial, operational and administrative point of view, it makes compelling business sense to integrate the two entities.
“They are co-located, they share management, workforce, skills and facilities – as well as ethos, commitment and vision.
“Now is also the right time to do this, as we concurrently roll out our major investment in our new advanced ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software system, which will fully integrate all management and business processes including sales,

engineering, purchasing, fi nance and administration, manufacturing and production – and even parts and service.”
In structural terms, Boughton Engineering, a market leader in vehicle mounted waste handling equipment, will become the principal business name. Oldbury UK
will be retained as an operating division, to drive the group’s established bespoke and specialist engineering activities and international defence sector work. To the outside world, including the businesses’ shared supply chains, there will be little change beyond combined purchasing, accounts and administration.
