*2ND UPDATE* Vipal DV-UM3 Evaluation

The Vipal DV-UM3 retread is now on a projection path average of 60,000 miles for a Florida school bus fleet, based on our current collected data.

Prior updates indicated a 40,000 average mile projection.

Because of the success and subsequent move made by this Florida school district from a state sponsored retreading program to a customized school bus fleet tire retreading and casing management program…we’ve initiated a new evaluation from a different manufacturer to continue our pursuit to find the school bus retread of MILEAGE EXCELLENCE.

November marks the one year anniversary of the DV-UM3 evaluation and this tread is performing very well…with remaining usable 32nds still well into double digits.

November will also mark the month of a new evaluation by CasingSource.com, LLC of the 11R22.5 ContiTread™ HSC.

(4) 11R22.5 ContiTread™ HSC (23/32) retreads are being tested against (4) 11R22.5 Vipal DV-UM3 (23/32) retreads.

On the left is the DV-UM3 by Vipal and on the right is the HSC by Continental.

We’re excited to see how these two beauties compete!

• Good results for Vipal in Comparative Tests
• Vipal Releases Bus Tread Test Results
• Montreal’s Public Transport Picks Vipal For Retreads

*UPDATE* Vipal DV-UM3 Evaluation

In an earlier post we shared the preliminary results of a retreading evaluation for a Florida school district.

The Vipal DV-UM3 retread absolutely outperformed the competition and is projecting over 40,000 miles in a fleet of buses that never got more than 22,000 miles out of what they’ve been using for many years.

PRICE — DOES NOT EQUAL — COST!

Because we’ve identified between $6,000.00 – $10,000.00 in annual savings to the transportation budget, CasingSource.com is now the retreading provider for this school bus fleet for the 2018 – 2019 school year.

We’ll work very hard to hold this position for many years to come!

Vipal DV-UM3 Evaluation

In November 2017, CasingSource.com, LLC initiated a retreading evaluation for a Florida school district.

(4) 11R22.5 Vipal DV-UM3 (23/32) retreads are being tested against (2) Marangoni UTWR (24/32) and (2) Marangoni UCSD (22/32) retreads.

After the fifth bi-weekly reading, the first bus tracking results show the Vipal DV-UM3 is averaging 1,557 miles per 32nd versus Marangoni UTWR which is averaging 934 miles per 32nd.

The second bus tracking results show the Vipal DV-UM3 is averaging 1,854 miles per 32nd versus Marangoni UCSD which is averaging 927 miles per 32nd.

The Vipal DV-UM3 is an application specific design for the transit industry and is proving beyond a doubt it’s superiority in tread wear and cost-per-mile.
