The casing is further enhanced with Powercoil – robust steel cables that improve endurance – and a new bead design called Duracoil, which helps to protect the bead area leading to improved stability, casing endurance and retreadability.

They also benefit from four of Michelin’s latest technologies including InfiniCoil, a continuous steel wire up to 400 metres long, wrapped around the tyre to provide greater tread stability, enhancing fuel savings and longevity plus Regenion, which helps maintain grip throughout the tyre’s life via regenerating tread blocks which evolve as the tyre wears. Michelin’s latest mixing techniques help to retain high mileage potential from the previous versions of the tyre. The X Multi Energy targets efficient performance with a higher silicon content than standard tyres. “The government has set a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from HGVs by 15 per cent by 2025 – and these new tyres will directly help fleets to be more sustainable.” X Multi Energy features They are perfect for firms which want the benefits of low rolling resistance, but also have to cope with roundabouts and stop / start operations. However, the growing X Multi Energy range means we can now offer a fuel-saving tyre to even more regional hauliers. Tests compared the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of a standard 4×2 tractor unit and tri-axle trailer in regional usage (50 per cent) and long-haul usage (50 per cent), with a standard reference load.Ĭhris Smith, managing director of Michelin UK, says: “Traditionally, low rolling resistance ‘Energy’ tyres have been aimed at long-distance fleets where the bulk of the work is on trunk roads at sustained high average speeds. Tests also highlighted a reduction in CO2 emissions of 1.8 kg per 100 km. Michelin’s testing, using the VECTO calculation tool, demonstrates that the new 315/80 R22.5 X Multi Energy saves up to 0.7 litres of fuel per 100 km compared to a regular X Multi tyre in the same size, while delivering longevity. The manufacturer said the tyre targets regional or national haulage operations with a high priority on sustainability, the new sizes are available now, alongside the popular 315/70 R22.5, first launched in 2018, for the original equipment and replacement markets. As a result the manufacturer’s range focused on fuel-saving now offers two of the most popular sizes in the UK and Irish heavy truck market. Michelin has added 315/80 R22.5 X Multi Energy Z (multi position) and X Multi Energy D (drive) fitments to its regional truck tyre range.
