The Prinx Europe brands Fortune Tires and Austone Tires had their first exhibition at Autopromotec 2025 in Bologna, Italy, with an emphasis on sustainable solutions for fleet and logistics, including the Regio tyres, designed for high mileage.
The First-Ever Exhibition for Austone and Fortune
During Autopromotec, Italy’s largest trade fair for automotive equipment and the aftermarket, Prinx Chengshan’s brands Austone Tires and Fortune Tires showcased their latest models, combined with their bestselling tyres designed for fleet managers, with a strong focus on truck and trailer applications.
Fortune’s latest innovations include the two truck, bus and radial (TBR) tyres Regio Steer 01 and Regio Drive 01, both designed with improved mileage in mind. Additionally, Prinx Chengshan’s brands also showcased the new Austone AAU902, a tyre model designed for electric buses.
Fortune FTH 135 and Austone ATH 155 trailer tyres are the brands’ current bestsellers, according to Prinx Europe. Both FTH 135 and ATH 155 hold the TÜV SÜD certification, and ATH 155 also carries an OEM approval. Designed for improved mileage and fuel efficiency, alongside regrooving capability and 3PMSF certification, casing and tread quality were key to the development of the retreaded RTH 155 in 2025, produced by Marangoni using the Ring-Tread process.
Additionally, a week before Autopromotec, Fortune and Austone announced that they are joining the Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship. Starting in 2025, two Prinx brands will be the main sponsors of Garret Trucksport, led by Luke Garret, the son of British truck racing legend Ross Garret. The partnership includes financial support for the team and a flat-rate tyre supply for the trucks, based on a three-year contract officially signed on April 28 in London.
“We have been successfully active in Europe for several years now. Compared to brands that have been established for decades, however, we still have a newcomer status,” explains Managing Director Thomas Wohlgemuth. “Like Garret’s team, we are highly motivated and rely on top-quality equipment and a perfectly coordinated crew to achieve our ambitious goals.”
