NOKIA, Finlandia, April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

El nuevo record mundial otorgado al tractor más rápido se consiguió cuando Nokian Tyres y Valtra combinaron su experiencia del norte. El nuevo e impresionante record se estableció en una carretera nevada y helada en la Laponia finlandesa. El piloto varias veces Campeón del Mundo de Rally, Juha Kankkunen, mantuvo su cabeza fría y condujo la máquina a una velocidad de 130,165 km/h (80,88 millas por hora). La superación del record fue posible gracias a los primeros neumáticos de invierno para tractor, los Nokian Hakkapeliitta TRI (440/80R28 151D & 540/80R38 167D) y al Valtra T234.

"He llevado a cabo test de velocidad máxima anteriormente con varios coches. Esta ha sido la primera vez en la que lo hago con un tractor, y de forma inmediata hemos conseguido un record mundial. Los neumáticos y el tractor han funcionado muy bien, incluso a pesar de que el tiempo era complicado", afirmó Juha Kankkunen.

En 2013 Nokian Tyres, el inventor de los neumáticos de invierno consiguió un récord mundial otorgado al coche más rápido sobre hielo, cuando el piloto de pruebas Janne Laitinen de Nokian Tyres consiguió una velocidad de 335,713 km/h (208,602 millas por hora) en el lago helado "Gulf of Bothnia". El agarre y una velocidad como nunca antes fueron conseguidos por el producto de más alta gama de Nokian, el neumático de invierno con clavos Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8.

Las mejores prestaciones en hielo y nieve

Nokian Tyres amplió su versátil gama de neumáticos de invierno a los tractores cuando se lanzó Nokian Hakkapeliitta TRI en la primavera de 2014. El diseño de rodadura único del Hakkapeliitta TRI, su compuesto de goma de invierno y sus láminas, maximizan el agarre y la tracción. Las laminillas diagonales crean ranuras en los bloques de la rodadura, aumentando el número de filos que se agarran a la superficie de conducción y mejoran el agarre longitudinal y el agarre lateral. El fabricante de neumáticos situado más al norte del planeta fue el primero en introducir los neumáticos con banda de rodadura en bloque para tractores hace 10 años.

"Las pruebas en situaciones extremas son el núcleo de las actividades y necesitan de una destreza única. Deseábamos mostrar el auténtico rendimiento del nuevo Nokian Hakkapeliitta TRI. Da una gran impresión cuando ves a una máquina de 7,7 toneladas pasar volando a más de 130 kilómetros por hora con el piloto cuatro veces Campeón del Mundo de Rally al volante. Cuando un tractor se conduce de forma rápida en una carretera de invierno, se necesita un agarre excelente, estabilidad y manejabilidad en la conducción. Estos han sido nuestros objetivos durante el desarrollo de los Nokian Hakkapeliitta TRI", indicó Tero Saari, responsable de proyecto de I+D para Nokian Tyres.

El record se registró el 19 de febrero de 2015 en el aeródromo de emergencia de Vuojärvi, Finlandia, aproximadamente a 20 kilómetros de la ciudad de Sodankylä, en Rovaniemi. La longitud total de la franja compacta de nieve fue de unos 2.300 metros, y en medio de la franja se estableció una trampa de velocidad de 50 metros.

La organización del Guinness World Records define las normas específicas del record mundial para el tractor más rápido. El tiempo para que el tractor recorra los 50 metros de la trampa de velocidad se mide en ambas direcciones. El record mundial es una media de estas dos mediciones. El tractor lleva a cabo una salida de tipo lanzada.

Maestro para condiciones extremas  

Nokian Tyres es el fabricante de neumáticos situado más al norte de todo el mundo. La compañía desarrolló y fabricó el primer neumático de invierno del mundo para el frío invernal en el año 1934. Dos años más tarde, nace el Nokian Hakkapeliitta en el invierno nórdico; ya es una leyenda en las auténticas condiciones invernales conocidas. Las innovaciones únicas son las que han hecho que los Hakkapeliittas sean los ganadores de los test en las revistas año tras año y década tras década.

Desde el principio, las cuidadosas pruebas y desarrollo realizado por Nokian Tyres han liderado el camino hacia los neumáticos más seguros y respetuosos con el medioambiente. Más al norte del Círculo Artíco, Nokian Tyres cuenta con su enorme Ivalo Testing Center, también llamado "Infierno Blanco", que abarca más de 700 hectáreas. Los neumáticos de invierno son puestos a prueba en condiciones extremas en todo momento.

La compañía es el único fabricante de neumáticos en el mundo centrada en los productos y servicios que facilitan el transporte seguro en condiciones invernales. Sus innovadores neumáticos para coches, camiones y maquinaria pesada se comercializan principalmente en áreas en las que suele haber nieve, bosques y condiciones de conducción exigentes debido a las estaciones cambiantes.
