Bridgestone’s full-service tyre and fleet management proposition for van fleets

Bridgestone

Van fleets are also exploring more ways to balance the books against a challenging economic backdrop, and Bridgestone offers one of its “most advanced tyre products,” which it says could help them save thousands of pounds per year. The Bridgestone Duravis Van tyre simultaneously offers downtime minimisation and a contribution to a lower cost of ownership for the vehicle. 2022 tests carried out by independent testing organisation TÜV SÜD show that the Duravis Van offered best-in-class mileage versus its premium brand competitors for extended tyre life as well as best-in-class dry and wet braking performances. It also achieves the highest EU label rating for wet grip, helping to keep drivers safe on the road, even in challenging wet-weather conditions.

Bridgestone

With the manufacturer’s latest Dueler all-terrain tyre coming into the market in 2023, Bridgestone’s consumer sales director Brett Emerson has given some insight into how Bridgestone is developing its 4×4 tyre range with consumers and the wide variety of application mixes within this segment. Starting from the point of view that “no two 4×4 enthusiasts are the same,” Emerson explains the importance of “factoring in how much all-terrain driving” drivers will do and “how much is mud related.” The manufacturer, alongside the First Stop retail network, wants to help fit the tyre with the right performance characteristics to customers’ vehicles, Emerson continues.

Bridgestone van tyre sales ‘buoyant’ as upgraded Duravis Van driving impressive performance

,
Bridgestone

Bridgestone is reporting a buoyant sales period to coincide with the start of summer, with its upgraded Duravis range credited for a significant share of success. Bridgestone says the Duravis Van tyre is gaining more traction than ever before, due to its impressive performance characteristics. In TÜV SÜD testing carried out on the request of Bridgestone in July-August 2022, the tyre secured best in class mileage against key premium brand competitors (the tests were conducted on a VW Caravelle 2.0 TDI with the tyre size 205/65 R16C). The testing organisation also found the Duravis Van to be ahead of the competition in dry and wet braking performance and fuel or energy efficiency when it pitted the tyre against premium competitors at ATP Papenburg, fitted to VW Caravelles and Mercedes-Benz Sprinters. Bridgestone says these performances have left a lasting impression on van fleets.
