The tyre retreader Vaculug has launched a new app called V-Torque. Designed to offer retorquing data, the app supports fleet management sustainability for spigot wheels on trucks and trailers from 7.5-tonne and above.
The idea was formed at Vaculug’s Sustainable Thinking Forum in 2023. The second forum of its kind was an opportunity to discuss future practices that would promote sustainability in fleet applications. Following feedback from the event, Vaculug has developed the new app solution.
V-Torque is a platform to provide detailed retorquing data to improve maintenance safety and efficiency. Retorquing processes can be managed and monitored using the app to improve accuracy and ensure wheel security compliance. By using the app, Vaculug aims for operators to reduce maintenance costs and improve fleet sustainability goals.
Glenn Sherwood, chief growth officer at Vaculug said: “We are thrilled to introduce V-Torque, a product born from our unwavering commitment to sustainability and innovation. The app amplifies our dedication to driving positive change in the industry.”
V-Torque gives access to up-to-date vehicle data and best practice recommendations. Users can select which type of vehicle they are working on, their preferred unit of measurement, vehicle manufacturer, and view diagrams on which order to correctly retorque a wheel. Manufacturer choices include DAF, Dennis Eagle, Iveco, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Renault Trucks, Scania and Volvo.
Vaculug is one of the largest independent tyre retreaders in Europe, offering retread services for truck and OTR tyres. In the UK, the company is headquartered in Grantham at a 12-acre site with additional locations in London and Leicester. Vaculug engages with customers and industry figures at its Sustainable Thinking Forums to explore more ideas like the new V-Torque app to support fleets. The forums feature guest speakers from tyre manufacturers as well as discussions on the future of sustainable fleet solutions.
