Michelin Agilis Receives What Van? Technology Award

Michelin’s Agilis van tyre is the recipient of the What Van? Technology award for 2008. This is, says the tyre maker, further recognition that its Agilis sets the standard for van operators seeking increased grip, extended longevity, reduced fuel consumption and thus lower CO2 emissions.

Presenting the What Van? Technology award to Michelin, magazine editor Neil McIntee emphasised the significance of the Technology award. “The attributes of the new Michelin Agilis light commercial vehicle tyre offer vehicle operators improvements in all sectors of a tyre’s performance. In judging this category these advantages clearly indicated the merit of the Technology Award being presented to Agilis. This award is not presented every year but only when the judging panel identify such an important innovation as Agilis.”

This is the second national award the Agilis has picked up in 2008. This new Michelin tyre received the Environment Award in the 2008 Van Fleet World Honours, which recognised the environmental benefits of the Agilis tyre in reducing a vehicle fleet’s carbon footprint.
