Driving home the perils of potholes Thomas Jervis recent article for #autoexpress reveals the impact of the ongoing pothole pandemic. He writes... the #AA Pothole Index shows that between Jan and Sept 2024, it dealt with as many as 479,656 incidents in which a vehicle was damaged or broke down after encountering a pothole - this is roughly 10,000 more compared with the same period in 2023, suggesting that 2024 could be en route to surpassing last year’s total number of callouts, which stood at 631,852 – itself a five-year high. How can Lesjöfors Group help? We are responding to these challenges with robust solutions tailored for harsh road conditions. Our high-quality coil springs are designed to withstand the increased stresses caused by potholes and degraded road surfaces. Our springs are made from high-grade specialist spring steel, providing enhanced durability and resilience. Each spring benefits from a protective coating of zinc phosphate and epoxy resin powder, guarding against the corrosive effects of road salt and moisture, which are prevalent during the winter months. This combination not only extends the lifespan of the springs but also ensures optimal performance under adverse conditions. For motorists facing the dual threats of severe weather and deteriorating roads, our springs offer a reliable upgrade to maintain safety, comfort and vehicle integrity. https://lnkd.in/eKK7Yudh #potholes #quality #automotiveaftermarket #safety
