Industrial tire ECOPIA STEER ENLITEN

for trucks22.5"

Overview
Meet the Bridgestone Ecopia Steer with ENLITEN technology: a steer-axle tyre developed for long-haul truck applications to reduce total cost of ownership, extend wear life and lower CO2 emissions.

Key benefits

• Best-in-class fuel efficiency
  A-label fuel-efficiency on selected sizes; rolling resistance reduced vs previous generation (≈8% on Steer; up to 12% on Drive in some measures).
• Improved wear life
  Up to 40% higher mileage on steer axle vs previous generation, supported by Spiral Belt construction.
• All-season long-haul use
  B wet-grip grade and 3PMSF marking on applicable sizes to ensure winter compliance.
• Robust casing for retreadability
  Designed for fleets to enable effective retreading and lower tyre lifecycle cost.
• Digital readiness
  RFID-equipped and compatible with tyre-mounted sensors (TMS).

ENLITEN technology
ENLITEN is a set of technologies that improves safety, tyre performance and sustainability while ensuring readiness for EVs and future mobility needs.

Technical features & benefits

• Reduced rolling resistance
  Low-energy tread designs and advanced compounds lower deformation and rolling resistance.
• High-performance compound
  NanoPro-Tech compound reduces rolling resistance.
• Spiral belt construction
  Spiral Belt increases cornering power, optimises pressure distribution for even wear and contributes to mileage gains on Drive and Trailer axles.
• Optimised contact technology
  Synergy between belt, shoulder base and pattern delivers an optimised footprint for even wear.
• Cooling fin
  Cooling fin on the casing reduces bead-area running temperature (~3–5°C) to improve durability and retreadability.
• Enhanced water ejection
  Multiple channels and sipes improve wet performance for all-season use.

Economic & operational impact

• Lower TCO
  Combined benefits of longer life and reduced rolling resistance translate into fleet savings (example reported: 921 EUR per vehicle per year vs predecessor in Bridgestone communications).
• Retreadability
  Robust casing and cooling measures increase number of viable retreads and reduce replacement cost.
