Les chaînes à neige automatiques sont sur le marché depuis longtemps et sont un système éprouvé pour augmenter l'accessibilité sur les routes hivernales glissantes. Le développement de nouveaux camions est rapide, différents carburants sont disponibles au choix, comme le "100 % électrique" où le développement est rapide. Mais cela s'applique également aux "chaînes à neige automatiques" 

What are automatic snow chains?
In order for the systems to be mountable on the different trucks, Onspot must also keep up with the same pace. An example of this is car mounts, such as new car mounts for mounting. Then the system must also be easy to assemble and maintain. This is where the mechanic comes into the picture and the important job of assembling the system correctly to get the best possible effect on slippery surfaces.

The system is mounted under the rear axle of the truck next to the wheels. With the help of compressed air, an arm goes out towards the truck's tires where the sprocket begins to spin. The chain is thrown under the tire, which means that the truck has better friction and grip as a result. But also that the stopping distance will be shorter. The system is activated at the push of a button in the cab and then deactivated in the same way. Having accessibility when you need it quickly is a success factor and increases safety along the roads. Add to that the financial aspects of reaching their customers on time and minimizing the risk of downtime.
