Bridgestone launches Ecopia Trailer

Bridgestone is completing the line-up of its flagship long-haul Ecopia tyre range with Enliten technology, following the launch of Ecopia Trailer.

With this addition to the range, Bridgestone says highway fleets can now improve fuel efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership across Steer, Drive and Trailer axles, while all three also contribute to significantly lowering CO2 emissions.

Throughout rigorous testing, Bridgestone claims the Ecopia range substantially outperforms the previous generation for reduced CO2 emissions across the life cycle – with the Steer and Drive tyres receiving independent, pioneering ISO 14067 certification.

As a result of significant savings on fuel consumption, Bridgestone Ecopia Steer, Drive and Trailer help reduce carbon emissions when the tyre is in use by 3.2 per cent, six per cent and 5.6 per cent respectively per kilometre driven.

Thanks also to the significantly improved wear of the Ecopia Steer, Drive and Trailer tyres, the CO2 emissions per kilometre allocated throughout production (the so-called ‘cradle to gate’ phase) is now reduced by 38.4 per cent, 10.8 per cent and 20.4 per cent respectively.

“Bridgestone Ecopia represents the future of long-haul transport,” said Waqqas Ahmad, commercial sales director, Bridgestone EMEA. “Efficient and innovative, our flagship long-haul tyre range is engineered to help reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions – without compromising tyre performance levels.

“Now with the launch of Ecopia Trailer, our partners can maximise these benefits. For both fleet operations and the OEMs we work with, the complete Bridgestone Ecopia range is here to support your decarbonisation objectives, help you meet new and upcoming sustainability regulations and, at the same time, reduce your total cost of ownership.”
