●      Bridgestone’s new premium winter van tyre delivers outstanding longevity, efficiency and safety in all winter conditions.

●      The Bridgestone Duravis Van Winter ENLITEN offers van users and light truck fleets maximum safety with its best-in-class snow and ice performances, according to TÜV SÜD.1

●      Developed with Bridgestone’s ENLITEN Technology, the EV-ready van tyre provides best-in-class mileage2 and a 13 percent rolling resistance reduction3 to minimize downtime and ownership costs.

Bridgestone, a global leader in premium tyres and sustainable mobility solutions, is today announcing its new premium winter tyre for light commercial vehicles. Bridgestone is launching the Duravis Van Winter ENLITEN  to support van users and light truck fleets through daily winter operating conditions while helping to reduce the total cost of ownership.

The Bridgestone Duravis Van Winter boasts the longest mileage compared to other premium winter alternatives – as proven by TÜV SÜD – to help reduce vehicle downtime, costs, and improve resource efficiency.2 This is alongside a 13 percent rolling resistance reduction from its predecessor3, increasing fuel/energy efficiency to further reduce the total cost of ownership and environmental impact.

These significant performance improvements are made possible by ENLITEN, Bridgestone’s combination of multiple cutting-edge technologies providing the tyre’s significant longevity improvements without compromising performance on the snow, ice, wet or dry. The new tyre also benefits from an optimised pattern design and a new compound formula for improved rolling resistance and grip on snow. These innovations are combined with a high contact area for superior performance on ice.

Speaking on this launch was Stefano Sanchini, Vice President Consumer Replacement at Bridgestone EMEA: “Reliable, robust and EV-ready, the Bridgestone Duravis Van Winter ENLITEN is engineered to support the needs of modern van users and fleets. We wanted to create a winter van tyre that could both enhance day-to-day operations and provide long-term cost and efficiency gains. We’ve achieved that through a variety of best-in-class performances delivering outstanding longevity, efficiency and safety in all winter conditions.”
