Welcome into the World of Westlake
Stoneleigh, UK — June 26, 2025 — WESTLAKE presented its Gen II commercial truck tyre lineup at the Road Transport Expo (RTX) from June 24-26. On display were the steer-axle WSA2, drive-axle WDA2 and non-directional mixed service WDM2 tyres, developed to deliver enhanced mileage, traction and overall operating efficiency.
This year marked the first collaborative RTX stand between WESTLAKE and its UK distributor International Tyres, enabling fleet managers to meet both the manufacturer and local partner in one place. ZC Rubber Europe Deputy General Manager Ákos Barcsik, UK National Sales Manager Andrew Reitzner and International Tyres Commercial Director Richard Allen greeted visitors and discussed the Gen II range’s benefits.
“RTX 2025 has been an ideal platform to underline WESTLAKE’s commitment to innovation,” said Ákos Barcsik. “The WESTLAKE Gen II lineup shows how we continue to raise performance and value for European fleets while working closely with trusted partners like International Tyres to distribute the tyres and ensure policy fitment.”
“We are proud to have WESTLAKE at RTX for the first time,” added Richard Allen. “This collaboration allows us to demonstrate first-hand how the WESTLAKE Gen II truck tyre range meets UK customers’ demands for reliability, performance and cost efficiency. Feedback at the show was extremely positive.”
