Bridgestone Americas Inc. will supply custom-engineered, ultra-low rolling resistance tires for Audi's first, full-electric SUV, the Q4 e-tron.
The tires contain Bridgestone's ENLITEN Technology, which the company says reduces rolling resistance by up to 30% and cuts weight by up to 20%.
"The bespoke summer tires offer impressive rolling resistance performance and make no compromises when it comes to on-road stability, which is crucial for the heavy load on a rear traction vehicle," say Bridgestone officials."Bridgestone sees electric mobility as a huge opportunity to reduce (carbon dioxide) emissions and make mobility more environmentally sustainable and is proud to be collaborating with Audi in helping to accelerate the electric future."The Audi Q4 e-tron - equipped with custom Bridgestone Turanza ECO summer and Blizzak LM005 winter tires - is available now in the U.S. market.
