Michelin launches X Line Energy tyres for Euro 6 fleets

Michelin is expanding its X Line Energy range of tyres with two additional sizes that, says Michelin, will save money for fleets with Euro 6 vehicles.
The 315/80 R 22.5 X Line Energy Z (multi-position) and 315/80 R 22.5 X Line Energy D (drive) fitments launch this month, and join the existing 315/70 R 22.5 X Line Energy tyres, launched in October 2012. A 385/65 R 22.5 X Line Energy T (trailer) fitment will be available later this year. "At Euro 6, vehicles need a tyre which can carry the increased axle load, and this expansion of the X Line Energy line-up enables fleets to unlock potentially significant fuel savings from the latest long-distance Michelin tyres," says Guy Heywood, commercial director for the tyre maker's truck and coach division. X Line Energy tyres are designed for fleets operating primarily on motorways and major trunk roads, where vehicles cover in excess of 110,000km a year at average speeds greater than 70 km/h and with limited stops per day. The new tyres replace the corresponding sizes in the previous Energy SaverGreen and A2 Energy ranges.
