Leading tyre retreading producer Vipal Rubber has captured the 2025 Retreaded Tyre award with its VT570 Tread. Which has been voted the best product of the year in the tyre retreading category promoted by Automotive magazine.
The award ceremony was held on November 13 at the Vila Galé Palácio dos Arcos hotel, in Oeiras, Portugal, attracting professionals from the automotive sector, representatives from fleet companies, public entities and industry associations.
Developed to meet the specific needs of the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) market, the Vipal tread VT570 incorporates a directional design that ensures excellent traction in mixed applications (on/off-road).

The recognition demonstrates that we remain strong in the mission of offering solutions that combine technology, performance and durability, following the evolution of fleets and the modern transportation needs.”
Frederico Schmidt, General Manager of Vipal for EMEA, adds, “This acknowledgement also reaffirms the relevance of tire retreading for the sustainable future of transportation. Receiving this award reflects the consistent work Vipal has conducted throughout the world and a recognition of a trajectory based on innovation, quality and commitment to sustainability.
