Westlake will Showcase its New Gen II Truck Tyres at IAA Transportation 2026

In partnership with Interpneu and Pneuhage Fleet Solution, Westlake will present new additions to its Gen II truck tyre portfolio, which highlight solutions to support European fleets with lower rolling resistance, improved fuel efficiency and extended mileage performance.

These products will indicate two key directions in Westlake’s latest commercial tyre development - the Long Run series, focusing on low rolling resistance, and the PRO series, developed for high-mileage applications.

Another major highlight will be Westlake’s latest Long Run range, including the WSL2 steer tyre, WDL2+ drive tyre and WTL2 wide-base trailer tyre, with the WSL2 and WDL2+ now achieving EU Tyre Label Class A for rolling resistance. Covering steer, drive and trailer axle positions, the range has been developed for long-haul operations with a focus on lower rolling resistance, improved fuel efficiency and extended mileage.

The WSL2 steer tyre supports stable handling and high mileage, with a high-saturation tread design and low heat-generating compound that help lower rolling resistance whilst maintaining consistent performance. The tyre also  focuses on mileage, traction and efficiency with its wider tread design, multi-3D steel plate pattern and low rolling resistance compound effectively improving fuel economy and delivering reliable grip during long-distance operation.

The WTL2 trailer tyre completes the long-haul solution, combining durability, mileage performance and fuel efficiency for trailer applications. As a wide-base trailer tyre, it features a low rolling resistance compound, high-saturation tread design and crown winding technology to support longer service life, improved stability and efficient fleet operation.

Alongside the Long Run range, Westlake will highlight its PRO series, developed for fleet applications where high mileage and long-term durability are key priorities. A key product in the series is the recently launched WTR PRO trailer tyre, designed for applications where mileage and wear performance are critical.

Featuring a wider tread design, higher pattern saturation and a wear-resistant tread compound, the WTR PRO is engineered to deliver longer mileage and more even wear, supporting fleets seeking extended tyre life and consistent performance in demanding conditions. These four new products — WSL2, WDL2+, WTL2 and WTR PRO will be available for order during the show.

Finally in addition to these latest products, Westlake will also present selected Gen II commercial tyres, further underlining the company’s product portfolio developed for European fleet needs.

Visitors are welcome to visit Westlake at Hall 12, Booth B66 during the event and discover the latest commercial tyre solutions developed for European fleets.
