When multi-ton trucks pick up speed and the asphalt trembles under more than 1,000 hp, one thing is clear: this is where real performance counts. SAILUN TYRE is entering the new season of the FIA European Truck Racing Championship and other events together with its long term partner Bohnenkamp wholesale group as the official sponsor of Team Hecker.
Truck Race Team Hecker, led by driver and owner Clemens Hecker, brings not only a passion for racing but also solid engineering skills to the track. Emerging from a family owned transport company and driven by pure racing spirit, the team embodies values that align perfectly with Sailun and Bohnenkamp: authenticity, a hands-on mentality, and smart performance on and off the track.
Especially in the Chrome Class, where custom engine solutions and technical finesse are required, Team Hecker is a key player at the front of the pack. “Truck racing is the ultimate showdown of performance in terms of speed, loads and dynamic forces. It’s all about power, precision, and total reliability. And that’s exactly what our tyres deliver and why this partnership with Team Hecker is such a great fit,” says Stephan Cimbal, Director of Marketing at Sailun Tyre Europe (STE).
“We are delighted to join forces with Sailun, one of our main truck tyre brands, and Team Hecker to deliver immersive racing experiences for our customers and show proof of concept of the products we love to sell”, adds Henrik Schmudde, Head of Marketing at Bohnenkamp SE.
Sailun’s annual production capacity for truck tyres is 27 million across all markets and the manufacturer has just launched the all new PRO series of regional, long haul and bus products. Currently Sailun is the 10th largest tyre manufacturer in the world with Sailun being the 10th mostvaluable tyre brand globally. With its innovative EcoPoint³ technology, the company is setting new benchmarks in performance, durability, and sustainability.
