WORKSHOP PRO MOTIONS EVOLUTION OF THE MODERN WORKSHOP
from The Workshop Pro
It’s of no surprise that the volume of EV vehicles on the road is growing on a daily basis, this trend is set for rapid growth over the next few years. This rapid growth in the EV market brings with it new challenges and opportunities for modern workshops, where traditional servicing is no longer required.
Wheel Alignment Tyre Replacement

As outlined above, EV tyres have undergone some major developments to increase performance and safety to handle the demands of an EV vehicle. With increased weights, vehicles require specialist tyres to cope with the additional weight, instant torque and range performance of EV vehicles currently on the road. EV Tyres are designed to improved aerodynamics, have special compounds to reduce resistance and improve grip to cope with the instant torque output by the EV motors to avoid wheel spin, and to reduce longer braking distances associated with heavier vehicles. All the above means that by the nature of design, EV tyres are more likely to require regular replacement, and will require the right type of tyre equipment to handle the increased strength and construction in the new tyre technology. Workshop Pro can tailor the perfect Tyre Equipment packages to suit your requirements. and the demand for longer range and lower emissions, tyres with minimal rolling resistance are essential. However, if the vehicles alignment is not set correctly, this will dramatically affect the performance and life of the tyre, range performance, and safety of the vehicle. Accurate wheel alignment is also vital for ADAS systems to function correctly. Ask Workshop Pro how you can add wheel alignment to your existing business (even on 2 post lifts), or upgrade your old Laser systems to new quick, highly accurate CCD or 3D systems.
