How much could you save?
Tests with Australian fleets proved Bridgestone Ecopia M749II drive and R119 trailer truck tyres saved up to 6.9%^ off their fuel bill when compared to conventional drive and trailer tyres. For a fleet with annual fuel expenditure of $10 million this equates to a fuel saving of up to $690,000 per annum. Other independent testing performed under controlled conditions measured fuel cost reductions of up to 9.6%* – further proof of the savings available to transport operators who choose Bridgestone's Ecopia range.
^Based on an average of real-world testing, rolling resistance co-efficient results and controlled testing, compared to standard Premium Bridgestone tyres, an estimated fuel saving of 6.9% can be achieved by choosing Ecopia truck tyres. When tested against other branded tyres, fleets could achieve up to 10% fuel saving subject to tyre brand, vehicle configuration, load, speed and driving style. Real world testing conducted on B-Double combinations running typical line haul operations. Total cost saving estimate based on average fleet fuel expenditure of $10,000,000.
