Bridgestone India announced that it has received the contract from Tata Motors to supply its R156 tubeless tyre for fitment for OEM’s state-of-the-art electric buses.
Bridgestone’s Ecopia tyres have advanced low-rolling resistance with fuel-saving benefits without compromising on safety and durability. R156 has ‘Special Nano Pro-Tech Compound Technology’, resulting in lesser heat generation, reducing the rolling resistance and resulting in fuel efficiency or lesser power consumption and longer tyre life. Less fuel consumption leads to less carbon emission in the environment, thus making Ecopia R156 an eco-friendly tyre.
Sunil Puri, Head - Commercial Tyres Business, Bridgestone India, said, “Our Tubeless R156 comes from the Ecopia family of Bridgestone, which provides higher fuel efficiency, in this case, lesser power consumption because of lower rolling resistance. This is an eco-friendly tyre and therefore a suitable fitment for electric buses that provide environmental protection because of the technology.”
