19 Jun 2017|3,163 views

The Bridgestone Ecopia EP300, made for eco-conscious drivers who want it all, promises improved fuel economy, superior wet grip and extended wear life.

The EP300's new tread pattern contributes to anti-hydroplaning performance, better handling and reduced noise

The EP300 is positioned as the next generation eco-tyre that offers low rolling resistance and superior wet grip performance, while boosting an extended wear life. Through the innovative design concept and engineering solutions adopted, the EP300 revolutionises and redefines the concept of an eco-tyre, which is embodied in its tagline, 'When You Want It All'.

Inherent in the Ecopia family, the EP300 is tested and proven to achieve significant fuel savings of up to two liters every full tank compared to conventional tyres.

In tests comparing the EP300 to the previous Ecopia generation, the EP200, the results demonstrate that the new technologies and design concept adopted for the EP300 helped to achieve improved fuel savings, while offering drivers additional travelling distance of up to 11.2km per tank with superior wet grip performance for a safer drive on wet asphalt.

The EP300 features enhanced NanoPro-Tech with a new polymer that provides enhanced wet grip due to an increased contact area that grips wet road surfaces with higher frictional force at the micro-level. In addition, the new tread pattern contributes to anti-hydroplaning performance, better handling and reduced noise. At the same time, deeper lug depth on the tyre shoulder is designed to strengthen durability and increase wear resistance. The EP300 features a new tread design to better control tyre deformation and provide long-lasting tyre life through a uniform wear pattern.

"For practical drivers in pursuit of an all-round fuel-efficient tyre, the EP300 is designed with careful consideration to our environment, and offers quality of value without compromising safety," commented Mr. Michael Tan, Managing Director of Bridgestone Tyre Sales Singapore Pte. Ltd. He added, "With the new Ecopia EP300, not only are we aiming to deliver the best possible return for drivers, but we are also encouraging drivers to play a collective role in reducing CO² emissions, which can be achieved with the EP300's lower rolling resistance."

The Bridgestone Ecopia EP300 is now available in 21 different sizes at authorised Bridgestone dealers in Singapore. For more information, please visit your preferred authorised Bridgestone dealer.
