Aeolus’ Vision
Aeolus is of the opinion that its actual business capital is formed by the people working for Aeolus. This is the basis
for its quality. Aeolus works on a commercial basis naturally in accordance with the highest standards
of efficiency, cost control and quality, but realises at the same time that without good professional staff it will be
unable to produce a good end product and therefore invests in its people.
The teams are composed from employees of varying ages and
backgrounds. This means that knowledge, experience and enthusiasm are added to all processes in a natural way. This approach provides the correct mixture of ideological stability with
regard to society and expertise, continuation of technological
achievements and takes traditional values into account.
Training is furthermore the best incentive to motivate employees. This will benefit the people, the products and the company. Aeolus also maintains close relationships with several
universities.
The up to date Research Centre of Aeolus Tyre Co. Ltd. does
not only regularly produce new innovative products, but serves
simultaneously as a national technological centre. Various types
of tyres are independently tested here. This laboratory supervises the quality and inspection of rubber products in Henan.

PRESS RELEASE - July 2009
‘Innovations to further improve safety and stability’
Aeolus Tyres introduces two new types of truck tyres. With these the brand gives its vision of continuous i
nnovation further shape. The new HN254 and HN369 truck tyres have a broader running surface and benefit from a new
rubber compound. The improvements contribute to road safety as well as abrasion resistance.
The new tyres replace the HN257 and HN355 treads.
Aeolus introduces tyres with a broader running
surface and an improved rubber compound
Optimierung
“Aeolus Tyres applies itself fully to the evolution of its existing
tyre assortment. They will not deviate from this course, not
even as a result of the current worldwide financial situation”,
says Bertus Heuver on behalf of Aeolus Tyres Europe as an
exclusive importer for Aeolus on the European mainland. “The
importance of the user is a priority.
The engineers of Aeolus continuously analyse where improvements can be made and what the trends and wishes are in
the market, especially the European market. In short, how they
can develop the most optimum tyre. These introduced treads
HN254 and HN369 are on average 15 millimetres broader and
are the first ones to benefit from the new, increased abrasion
resistant rubber compound. We will not change the sharp pricing, so the return for the user increases by implementing these new innovative Aeolus tyres. These are the reasons for our
new slogan that ‘Aeolus is the alternative beside well-known
A-brands’.”
The new tyres HN254 and HN369 are supplied direct in the
sizes 295/80R22.5 and 315/80R22.5 and soon in 315/70R22.5.
The HN254 is thereby the tyre intended for the steering axle
and for trailers, while the HN369 is intended for the driving
axle(s). Features of both tyres are a broader running surface
and a new rubber compound as well as high stability, an even
abrasion pattern and a good grip in various road conditions.

Breakdown Service and Breakdown Service Guarantee
Requirements for logistical processes are continuously increasing. Operational reliability is an absolute key
value for any transporter. On the road anything can go wrong and Aeolus is therefore of the opinion that the user should be
able to rely on the quality of the Aeolus tyres as well as the maximum service associated with these.
Breakdown Service:
Quickly back on the road after a breakdown
Especially for its end users Aeolus has set up its Breakdown
Service: a 24 hour breakdown service in the whole of Europe.
From its European Service Centre Aeolus offers its users an
accurate and high quality breakdown service through more
than 8,000 tyre specialists. The service vehicles are set up in
such a manner that the Aeolus technician is able to work fast
and efficiently on the road. In this way the amount of time standing still is limited to an absolute minimum.
The Service Centre is open 7 days per week and is available
day and night in the language you require. As a result of fixed
agreements with its European partners Aeolus Breakdown
Service is able to offer attractive tariffs.
The Aeolus Breakdown Service is able to receive any breakdown notification by way of satellite communication. Easy, as
satellite communication is used in more and more trucks. A big
advantage is the quick and clear communication with the driver
and the accurate establishment of the position of the stranded
vehicle by way of GPS.
All inclusive Breakdown Service Guarantee
With its European Breakdown Service Guarantee offers the
user a fixed tariff for the best assistance in the case of tyre
trouble on the road. In other words, at any time of the day complete certainty regarding the costs and the minimum amount of
time standing still.
For a fixed annual tariff for each registered vehicle only the cost
of the tyres, including a limited excess, is charged.
Carcass guarantee
Aeolus utilises highly technical and high quality processes, carries out careful inspections and supplies quality
products. At the end of its first life cycle an Aeolus tyre is suitable for retreading and remoulding;
in other words, thanks to its second life cycle it offers excellent value for money.
When the tyres have lost their thread depth, they can be considered for the Aeolus carcass guarantee - on condition that the
carcass meets certain minimum requirements. For tyres of 22.5
inches a fee of € 15.- applies.
And it cuts both ways as the user receives a residual amount
and the environment is saved as the tyres are collected for remoulding or recycling and do not end up in the fragile environment.
again as a base material – granules and rubber powder. Kargro
is TüV and ISO (9002) certified.
Aeolus therefore offers an extended life cycle for its tyres and
ensures a responsible removal in order that the environment is
not unnecessarily burdened.
This fits seamlessly into its philosophy:
Aeolus is the only alternative for any A-brand.
For the remoulding process as well as the collection of the carcasses Aeolus closely collaborates with Kargro, a qualified remoulding and removal company. Carcasses which are no longer usable are recycled after which process they can be utilised

We are now able to provide our services in an as efficient as
possible manner, which is very important in the current times
in which every cost saving factor is of importance. The tyres
last very long and offer excellent grip and stability.”
Large savings
Entrepreneurs always closely inspect the costing details of
their vehicle fleet. Tyres form an important item.
Director Gerrit Postma of the international transport company
Dalessi says: “In Aeolus we have found a top brand with the
lowest cost price per mile. The mileages are high. In other
words, the abrasion is low as is the fuel consumption. In short,
we are very satisfied and in the meantime all our 240 trailers
are using tyres of this Chinese brand.”
"Our drivers are very satisfied
with the Aeolus tyres, fuel
consumption is low and
mileages are excellent."
