Slashing Tyre Costs by 46% for 120 Multi-Axle Trucks
By shifting from premature scrap disposal to ChakraPlus ultrasonic casing audits and customized HighwayHaul HD compounding, the fleet doubled its casing lifecycle from 1 to 2.8 retreads per tyre.
₹38.4 Lakhs Annual Savings with Zero On-Road Blowouts
1. The Operational Challenge
Prior to partnering with ChakraPlus, East-India Freight Corridors Ltd. operated on an expensive single-use paradigm. Despite operating premium multi-axle prime movers, tyres were discarded prematurely due to unrecognized minor belt punctures, uneven shoulder scrub, and lack of calibrated pressure tracking. The fleet's tyre Cost-Per-Kilometer (CPK) was running 38% above industry best-in-class targets.
2. The ChakraPlus Engineering Intervention
ChakraPlus deployed a comprehensive 3-pillar casing rejuvenation workflow:
- Ultrasonic & Shearography Screening: Every removed tyre was scanned bead-to-bead to isolate repairable nail perforations before structural belt oxidation occurred.
- Precision Cold-Cure Vulcanization: Tread runners using the CP-HighwayHaul HD high-silica formulation were bonded at a gentle 98°C in our automated autoclave, preventing casing thermal embrittlement.
- Scheduled Yard Custody Sweeps: Weekly collection routes prevented scrap-pile degradation and ensured tyres were pulled at the optimal 3mm remaining tread mark.
3. Quantified Technical Results
"ChakraPlus changed how our fleet views tyre assets. The ability to pull up live ultrasonic scan reports on our phones and approve repairs digitally has eliminated roadside delays across our national corridors."
