HATT-engineered commercial truck tires for Québec fleets — Hwy 20 Montréal–Québec City (~250 km), Hwy 40 north-shore, Hwy 175 Saguenay forestry corridor, Port of Montréal and Port de Québec drayage, Hwy 10 Eastern Townships. CMVSS 119 homologated, M+S winter-rated, compliant with the Québec Loi concernant les pneus d'hiver. Service bilingue français-anglais.
Québec is Canada's second-largest freight market and the bilingual gateway between the Great Lakes / Hwy 401 artery and the Atlantic provinces. The Port of Montréal handles ~35 million tonnes annually as North America's largest inland container port, while the Port de Québec moves 25M+ tonnes of bulk cargo on the Saint Lawrence. Hwy 20 (Montréal–Québec City ~250 km) and Hwy 40 (north-shore Montréal–Québec) form the spine of Québec long-haul, with Hwy 10 handling Eastern Townships cross-border freight to Vermont / New Hampshire.
Québec enforces Canada's strictest winter mobility regime. The Loi concernant les pneus d'hiver (Québec Highway Safety Code s. 440.1) mandates dedicated winter tires on passenger and light-commercial vehicles from December 1 through March 15. While heavy commercial trucks (GVWR >4,536 kg) are exempt from the dedicated winter-tire mandate, M+S branding on drive tires is the de facto carrier-insurance and SAAQ-recommended standard — and every Hanksugi line carries M+S with -40°C cold-weather compound. HS26+ Zeus Grip is Québec's preferred open-shoulder drive for Saguenay, Côte-Nord and Abitibi forestry routes where Hwy 175, Hwy 138 and Hwy 117 require aggressive snow traction five months a year.
