Bridgestone Australia Ltd. is continuing to underline its commitment to the heavy vehicle industry with the launch of four new sizes in its Ecopia range – completing its low rolling resistance drive and trailer line-up.
The new sizes mean Bridgestone Ecopia’s excellent fuel saving and wear life benefits are now available to almost 95% of the trailer market and approximately 90% of the drive market.
The new sizes include the 275/70R22.5 M749 Drive and the 265/70R19.5, 275/70R22.5 and 255/70R22.5 R109 Trailer tyres.
“Fleets are continuing to make the switch to Bridgestone Ecopia and it’s no surprise why,” said Bridgestone Australia and New Zealand Managing Director Andrew Moffatt. “Our in-fleet testing across Australia means Ecopia has well and truly been put to the test since its launch in 2013. The key factor here is that we are consistently seeing fuel savings of up to six per cent.”
It’s not just the fuel saving benefits that have appealed to Australian fleets – Bridgestone Ecopia’s ability to lower CO2 emissions through less fuel use means the product is an important asset for those looking to improve their environmental standing.
“It is now a business imperative for operators in the trucking industry to lower their emissions and improve their green credentials,” Mr Moffatt said.
“Our Ecopia low rolling resistance drive and trailer tyres provide a very real way for operators to achieve this goal and we’ve been seeing an increasing amount of interest in Bridgestone Ecopia as a result.”
