The Ecopia EP300 launch event was held at the Dorsett Grand in Subang Jaya and managing director of Bridgestone Malaysia, Jo Takekawa said that the Ecopia EP300 was designed primarily to meet customers’ expectation.
“At Bridgestone we have over 20 years of experience and technical know-how in developing eco oriented products. The Ecopia EP300 is the result of that and most importantly, listening to the needs of our customers for a tyre that offers better fuel savings,” said Takekawa.
The EP300, compared to its predecessor the EP200 which was launched four years ago, has incorporated a new design and new technologies for low rolling resistance and added fuel efficiency.
Brisgestone claims the EP300 can further savings as it can travel an additional 11.2km per full tank.
It features an enhanced NanoPro-Tech with a new polymer that provides enhanced wet grip while the new tread pattern contributes to anti-hydroplaning performance, better handling and reduced noise.
The EP300’s new tread design also better controls tyre deformation and provides long-lasting tyre life through a uniform wear pattern.
