Low Resistance. High Performance.

Lower rolling resistance means lower fuel consumption and reduced CO₂ emissions. As an important contributor to reducing transport-related CO₂ emissions, the transportation sector plays a crucial role in cutting carbon. In heavy-duty haulage, rolling resistance optimized tires help fleets reduce costs while helping reduce fuel consumption and associated CO₂ emissions. Small changes in efficiency can lead to significant reductions in emissions.

Lower rolling resistance can help reduce fuel consumption and associated CO₂ emissions. The transportation sector plays an important role in reducing CO₂ emissions, and improving efficiency can contribute to this objective. In heavy-duty haulage, rolling resistance optimized tires help fleets reduce costs while improving fuel efficiency and supporting lower CO₂ emissions. Small changes in efficiency can lead to reductions in emissions.

When applied correctly, reduced rolling resistance offers a direct route to lower fuel costs and higher earnings. Up to 49% of your fleet’s operating expenses are accounted for by fuel costs and tolls, making efficiency a key factor in profitability. Tires with optimized rolling resistance and proper maintenance improve fuel efficiency, cutting operational expenses and helping reduce vehicle-related CO₂ emissions. 

Regulations like VECTO, EU Taxonomy and road toll systems are designed to reduce CO₂ emissions in the haulage sector. Lower rolling resistance is a key factor in all three, helping fleets improve efficiency and cut emissions. When used correctly, rolling resistance optimized tires not only reduce fuel consumption and toll costs – they also support compliance and help fleets support selected fuel-efficiency and emissions-reduction objectives.

Rolling resistance has a direct impact on CO₂ emissions, making it an important factor in reducing vehicle-related CO₂ emissions. Lower rolling resistance means less fuel consumption, which leads to a drop in greenhouse gas emissions. As the transportation industry evolves, adopting low rolling resistance tires helps reduce fuel consumption and associated CO₂ emissions from trucks and supports efforts to reduce transport-related CO₂ emissions

By implementing these steps, fleets can improve fuel efficiency, cut costs and help lower vehicle-related CO₂ emissions through improved fuel efficiency.

• Choose the right tires: Depending on the requirements of your application, tires with low rolling resistance offer the greatest efficiency.
• Monitor tire pressure: Maintain the recommended pressure to avoid wasting energy.
• Perform regular maintenance: Inspect tires for wear and damage to ensure optimal performance.
• Optimize vehicle load: Distribute weight evenly to avoid excessive strain on individual tires.
• Align axles properly: Ensure correct axle alignment to prevent uneven wear.
