Carrying heavier loads

摘要

Bridgestone Europe is launching a new range of On/Off tyres which it said gave operators in construction and mining the opportunity to carry heavier loads. Harald Van Ooteghem, senior manager marketing planning, commercial business unit, said, "By increasing the load capacity of our On/Off line-up, Bridgestone can help customers raise overall efficiency by maximising use of their heavy vehicles, with no trade off in terms of tyre life." The company said that with the new Bridgestone EVO range, increased load capacity had been achieved without compromising Bridgestone's performance advantages which it described as excellent durability, high resistance to cuts and chipping, and robust casing offering superior retreadability and extended tyre life. It said the structure of the new EVO tyres has been reinforced to make it robust enough to maintain the skeleton of the tyre with minimal deformation in service, while keeping the flexibility required for demanding on/off operations.
