Bridgestone has launched a new Bandag retread designed to complement the Bridgestone Ecopia Tire line for fuel savings.
With a volatile market impacted by COVID-19, growth in last-mile delivery, and changing needs for alternative-fuel trucks, the truck tire industry is looking forward to a positive future.
Bridgestone Americas recently added the FuelTech Drive retread for the drive wheel position to its Bandag MaxTread line, a SmartWay-verified, closed-shoulder retread that is also California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliant.
Both Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations and Yokohama Tire Corp. recently announced they will be increasing tire prices.
Bridgestone said its new Bandag MaxTread retread line is designed to deliver reliability comparable to new tires.
Bridgestone Americas has released its new Firestone FD692 drive tire, touted as a fuel-efficient, SmartWay-verified, and CARB-compliant tire by the company.
Bridgestone Americas Inc. has shifted responsibilities for five of the company's leaders, saying the moves are designed to strengthen Bridgestone's core tire business while also pushing forward with its transition to be a global provider of mobility solutions.
The advanced air-free commercial truck tire concept was one of several Bridgestone mobility solutions on display during the Annual Meeting of the ATA's Technology & Maintenance Council, all aimed at improved safety, uptime and efficiency.
Bridgestone said its new fuel-efficient Ecopia drive tire maximizes tread life and lowers costs for commercial trucking fleets.
Bridgestone Americas has named Steve Kinkade vice president, communications.
