Trelleborg Tires has made a significant stride in agricultural innovation with the debut of its first agricultural rubber track tyre, the ART1000. Presented at the prestigious EIMA exhibition in Bologna, Italy, the ART1000 has been designed for high-horsepower machines, promising exceptional versatility, mobility, and soil-friendly performance.

The ART1000 features tread bars engineered to minimise soil compaction, an essential factor for sustainable farming practices. Its design also boasts impressive self-cleaning properties, ensuring consistent traction and a smooth ride in demanding high-pull applications.

Pioneering Agricultural Technology

Alongside the ART1000, Trelleborg showcased a range of advanced solutions:

  • PneuTrac: A hybrid innovation blending the best of radial agricultural tyres and tracks, designed for orchards and vineyards. With its "Omega" design sidewall and extended footprint, it provides excellent traction and lateral stability, even on steep, slippery slopes.
  • Adaptive Tire Management System (ATMS): Designed to revolutionise tyre performance monitoring, the ATMS is currently undergoing OEM testing. The system collects real-time data such as dynamic load, tyre pressure, and temperature while offering operational efficiencies and cost savings through its patented sensor-ready infrastructure.
  • TM1 Eco Power: Made with 65% recycled and bio-based materials, these tyres represent Trelleborg’s commitment to sustainability. Co-developed with Fendt, they cater to traditional and electric tractors.
  • TM1000 ProgressiveTraction: Featuring enhanced handling, traction, load capacity, and self-cleaning properties, this tyre is ideal for advanced farming applications.
  • Patented TW Rim Profile: Designed for modern tractors and harvesters, the TW rim profile simplifies fitting and inflation, enabling optimal performance with low-pressure tyres.

Sustainability and Future Innovation

Trelleborg’s focus on eco-friendly solutions is evident with the TM1 Eco Power and its continued development of sensor-ready technologies. By integrating smart technology like the ATMS and investing in sustainable materials, the company is setting benchmarks for modern agriculture.

“Our solutions are designed to meet the demands of today’s farmers, combining sustainability, performance, and innovative engineering,” Trelleborg stated.

The ART1000 and other products showcased at EIMA underscore Trelleborg’s dedication to advancing agriculture through innovation and sustainability.
