Raising the Bar in Luggage Transportation

World leader in car roof transportation systems, Thule, have reported a record increase in sales of roof rack systems, as drivers look for ways to transport extra luggage and leisure equipment this summer.

Thule, the world’s largest manufacturer of car roof rack systems, roof boxes and accessories recently recorded their best ever spring sales figures, with summer numbers expected to follow suit.

Thule attributes the figures to the UK holiday boom and rising sales of smaller cars. Roof bar systems are the essential base for cycle racks, water sports equipment carriers and roof boxes, and are an effective way to temporarily increase the luggage capacity of your car.

Positive media reviews have also helped the international market leader. Auto Express declared the Thule Rapid roof bar system a ‘best buy’ in June, marking Thule’s roof bars as ‘difficult to beat for user-friendliness ’and ‘oozing quality’.

Peter Barker, UK General Manager of Thule commented: “Roof bars are seen as a long term investment, so people will be looking to buy the best for quality and safety. Thule have designed solutions for most makes and models, allowing users to assemble, remove and transfer their bars to other vehicles if needed, whilst ensuring style and ease of use are maintained across applications.”
