4 g/km CO2 savings promised by Michelin's new Energy Saver tyres
Newly launched in Europe and the winner of Tire Technology of the Year at the Tire Technology International Awards, the Energy Saver is Michelin¡¯s new fourth generation of ¡°green¡± car tyres, comprising a complete range that replaces the company¡¯s Energy range. Michelin says that by generating fuel savings of nearly 0.2 litres per 100 km* the Energy Saver tyre reduces CO2 emissions by 4 g/km and the cost of a full tank of fuel by almost £1.50.
As a result, fitting four Energy Saver tyres to a car produces fuel savings sufficient to pay for one of the tyres after just 45,000km.
The technology deployed in the Michelin Energy Saver range improves rolling resistance by nearly 20%*, while also shortening braking distances.
The European Commission¡¯s late 2007 proposals for CO2 limits for new cars encompass emissions reductions of 10 g/km to be achieved by tyre manufacturers and suppliers of air conditioning systems by 2012.
*ISO test conducted by TÜV SÜD Automotive in 2007 on store-bought 175/65 R14, 195/65 R15 and 205/55 R16 tyres produced by five major-brand manufacturers.
**Based on a diesel-powered vehicle that consumes around 6 litres per 100 km with fuel priced at an average of €1.20 a litre.
