AutoSock – the simple solution for keeping vehicles moving safely on snowy roads.

AutoSock snow socks have been helping to keep vehicles moving safely on snowy roads for almost two decades.  This well-proven and easy to use solution gives tyres the extra grip they need in snow and ice.  Reusable and affordable, AutoSock are already the product of choice for many fleets and businesses who need to keep their businesses running safely in winter weather.

Getting caught out by sporadic snowfall can be disruptive as well as expensive.  Knowing that your vehicles are properly equipped to allow your drivers to do their work and return safely to base isn’t just good health and safety management, it makes business sense as well.

“Even a small amount of snow can bring businesses to a halt,” said a spokesperson for AutoSock.  “AutoSock are all about preparation and resilience – they help businesses to avoid costly downtime and they help to keep staff, goods, and services moving.”

Whatever your business, be it for example logistics, utilities, maintenance, distribution of fuel or food and drink, AutoSock are relevant to you – there are sizes for cars, vans, HGVs and even for forklift trucks.

AutoSock are the original textile snow socks, developed in Norway and approved by leading automotive manufacturers.  They are the preferred solution for drivers seeking quick, safe, and reliable traction on snow and ice without the hassle of traditional snow chains.

Engineered using high-tech fabric and applying dry friction science, you can use AutoSock to self-rescue if you are already stuck, or e.g. for essential extra grip and safety when ascending or descending hills.

AutoSock are quick to fit and easy to use – you pull them over the driving wheels until they are over half way over the wheel, then move the vehicle half a wheel revolution forwards or backwards before placing the remainder of the each AutoSock over the wheel – they’re held in place with elastic.  Their textile construction makes them compatible with all electronic safety systems, and they’re quiet and vibration-free in use.

AutoSock come in a waterproof carrying bag which doubles as a kneeling mat, making roadside fitting both cleaner and more comfortable, especially if you use the gloves supplied.

AutoSock are at least as relevant to EV’s as they are to conventionally fuelled vehicles.  Recent reports have suggested that cold weather can reduce the range of EVs by up to a third, so it’s all the more important to reduce the potential for getting stuck, and to avoid draining the battery for vehicle heating while going nowhere.

AutoSock are an easy way of keeping going in snow without having to invest in winter tyres – just pull them over the driving wheels before or after you get stuck and drive on.  They always work; you only need to remember to pack a set in each vehicle!
