Michelin<\/a> introduced the Michelin XDR 4 SPEED ENERGY at MINExpo, the mining industry\u2019s first-ever energy-efficient tire that is designed to reduce a mining vehicle\u2019s fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions through an optimized, more flexible tread and new energy-saving rubber compound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Michelin XDR 4 SPEED ENERGY tire achieves up to 3.6% better fuel efficiency compared to the Michelin XDR 250 C tire, resulting in savings of about 5,300 gallons of fuel or $24,000 per truck annually. For a fleet of 50 trucks, this would equate to almost $1.2 million in annual savings and a reduction of 2,600 tons of CO2 emissions within a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe Michelin XDR 4 SPEED ENERGY tire features innovative technologies, such as an optimized, more flexible tread and energy-saving rubber compound, that enable the tire to run cooler and result in more energy being directed towards propelling the truck,\u201d said Lisa Hickey, sustainability lead for Mining.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mining trucks fitted with Michelin XDR 4 SPEED ENERGY tires experience reduced rolling resistance, which leads to lower fuel usage, reduced CO2 emissions, and cost savings \u2013 a win for the industry and the planet alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michelin XDR 4 SPEED ENERGY tires will be available commercially in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
