Bridgestone is expanding its winter truck tyre portfolio with the launch of the new Duravis Winter Drive. Engineered for mild winter conditions, Bridgestone’s latest premium tyre delivers extended mileage, enhanced fuel efficiency and reliable winter traction to help fleets reduce operational downtime and total cost of ownership.
The new longer-lasting Bridgestone Duravis Winter Drive truck tyre provides a 15 per cent mileage improvement over its predecessor, the Bridgestone RW-DRIVE 001. This is combined with a three per cent reduction in rolling resistance compared to its previous generation1, helping fleets decrease fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
The Duravis Winter Drive is also engineered to deliver snow traction throughout its full lifecycle, further reducing the risk of vehicle downtime.
Reliable performance
“Now more than ever, fleets need both predictable, reliable performance and solutions that can help reduce operational costs. That is why we have engineered a tyre that consistently and efficiently perform from the very first kilometre to the last,” stated Waqqas Ahmad, VP Commercial, Bridgestone EMEA.
Engineered with state‑of‑the‑art technologies, the Bridgestone Duravis Winter Drive offers improved traction capability until end of life thanks to a new sipes geometry. The tyre is also engineered with a higher contact area, increased tread depth and variable groove angles to enhance its wear life and extend mileage.
To further extend tyre life, reduce operational costs and support more sustainable fleet management, the tyre is engineered for regroovability and multiple retreads, and designed for year-round use, a press statement concluded.
