Bridgestone Corporation recently announced that it has begun supplying the Ecopia RD613 as an OE tire for the newly updated Toyota Hiace, which was launched by Toyota Motor Corp. in May.
The Ecopia brand produces tires with low rolling resistance, which reduces the fuel consumption by the vehicle, but the tire maker always emphasizes that the fuel efficiency is combined with other key tire performance metrics, such as wet traction. For the new Hiace, the company designed tires with a new rubber compound that also improved fuel efficiency and handling response in the rainy weather.
