Bridgestone has a strong presence at the Paris Motor Show, which opened to the\u00a0public on Saturday and continues to October 14.<\/p>\n
Three distinct zones on the stand show the direction of product development: Ecological, Reliable and Futuristic tyres.<\/p>\n
Star of the stand, in the centre of the display, is Bridgestone\u2019s new flagship Ecopia EP001S (size 195\/65R15) on display in Europe for the first time. The Ecopia EP001S carries top EU Label A grades for both fuel efficiency and wet grip, and is the world\u2019s first tyre to win A\/A grading in Europe and the top grade in the Japanese rating system<\/p>\n
Also on view in the \u201cEcological\u201d zone is the Ecopia EP25 low-rolling-resistance tyre, shown in its role as original equipment on the new Peugeot 208. Just behind it, the popular \u201cbicycle\u201d demonstrator shows visitors how low rolling resistance makes transport (the ride?) easier.<\/p>\n
On the left-hand side of the stand is the \u201cReliable\u201d zone featuring different aspects of safety which are particularly important to Bridgestone. A winter scene presents the Blizzak range, which covers all types of European winter conditions, featuring a Citro\u00ebn DS3 fitted with Blizzak LM-32 and also featuring Bridgestone involvement in the Audi FIS Ski World Cup. A special wet display demonstrates the outstanding wet safety of Bridgestone\u2019s new flagship touring tyre, Turanza T001, while a Run-Flat Technology module shows visitors how this safety technology can \u201csave your day\u201d.<\/p>\n
Behind the \u201cReliable\u201d section is a presentation of Bridgestone tyre labelling under new EU regulations, with ratings for the brand\u2019s top products.<\/p>\n
On the front-right of the stand Bridgestone presents some exciting examples of tomorrow\u2019s tyres and technologies. Bridgestone\u2019s new \u201cSustainable\u201d tyre makes its European debut, flanked by the unique \u201cAir Free\u201d concept of mobility. In front is an eye-catching KTM X-BOW fitted with revolutionary TPT (Tyre Printing Technology) tyres, showing that tyres don\u2019t always have to be black! On display nearby are Bridgestone\u2019s \u201cHalf weight\u201d concept tyre and award-winning CAIS (Contact Area Information Sensing) technology which detects changes in road conditions for added safety and comfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
