ENLITEN TYRE TECHNOLOGY

Innovative lightweight tyre technology that requires less materials and cuts CO2 emissions.

Bridgestone’s New Environmental Tyre Solution

Enliten, a new innovative lightweight tyre technology that represents an unmatchable reduction in material and rolling resistance performance to contribute to the reduction of a vehicle’s CO₂ emissions, while providing the same wear life as a standard original equipment tyre. Benefitting car manufacturers, drivers and the environment, tyres with embedded Enliten technology also improve the vehicle’s handling and stability to increase driving pleasure.

SUSTAINABLE, & EFFICIENT

Enliten technology reduces the rolling resistance of a passenger tyre, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in combustion vehicles, while also extending battery life and vehicle range in electric vehicles.

Enliten enables passenger tyres to be reduced in weight. This not only ensures that less raw materials are used to manufacture the tyres, but also contributes to the reduced rolling resistance.

Without any trade-off on tyre wear or safety., the technology even improves the vehicle’s handling and stability to increase driving pleasure.

TYRE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION

An innovative approach to tyre design and production which combines a proprietary compound mix that enables improved wear performance and a decreased tread depth, a reduced and reinforced inner liner thickness, and a new dedicated mould design concept.
