Known in the world market tire company Bridgestone will expand in 2009, the line models auto tires, allowing car to save fuel.
In April this year, there were several models under the name Turanza ER300 Ecopia with a special fuel-saving tire tread. Ecopia prefix in the name of a new line indicates the possibility of an effective fuel economy in vehicles equipped with these tires.
Automakers with tire manufacturers have always sought to ensure that their products cause the least possible harm to ecology of the surrounding space. In Japan, for example, in 1991 a similar car tires were equipped with environmentally friendly electric cars.
A avtokonstruktory Volkswagen, since 1998, used tires with low-friction bearings in one model of car Lupo. At the same time they have achieved amazing results - Fuel consumption per 100 km was only 3 liters.
Today, environmental Ecopia tires installed in the car wheels of some current models of cars, including Toyota iQ, Mercedes-Benz S-class, Opel Insignia. Reducing rolling resistance tires in auto Ecopia reduces fuel consumption and, consequently, to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This was achieved using the latest nanotechnology, applied at the molecular level, which had created a special rubber mixture for the manufacture of tire tread Ecopia.
On the one hand, reducing rolling resistance reduces fuel consumption. On the other - increases the risk reduction of wet adhesion. However, experts of the company Bridgestone managed to reconcile the irreconcilable and creating a truly unique bus Ecopia, have good adhesion, which provide the proper level of security driving in all weather conditions. Bridgestone tire manufacturers say that new car tires Ecopia will be particularly in demand amid the financial crisis.
