Nokian promotes low rolling resistance tyres

ERJ staff report (DS)

Nokia, Finland -- Nokian Tyres is promoting the energy-economy of its tyres. “The car driver can save half a litre of fuel per 100 kilometres with a low rolling resistance eco tyre like the Nokian H for compact cars or even with an ultra high performance tyre like the Nokian Z G2”, advises Teppo Huovila, Vice President R & D. “A rolling resistance lowered by 40 per cent saves six per cent fuel. This is 300 Euros less over a driving distance of 40,000 kilometres.

The company goes on to outline the inter-relationship between fuel economy, wet grip and wear life.

Nokian adds that it is using Canola oil in its tyres, as the ban on PAH oils comes into force.
