(1) Internal simulation between a tractor-trailer/tractor ensemble equipped with MICHELIN X® LINE™ ENERGY™ tyres compared with a tractor-trailer/tractor ensemble equipped with regrooved MICHELIN X® LINE™ ENERGY™ tyres.
(2) MICHELIN REMIX retreading requires, on average, only 20 kg of additional raw materials, which comes out to a savings of 50 kg in raw materials when compared to the production of a new MICHELIN tyre. Internal comparison carried out at the Michelin research and development centre by comparing the average weight of MICHELIN REMIX™ tyres with the average weight of new MICHELIN tyres in several sizes.
(3) Internal 2016 calculation: fuel savings up to 2.5 litres/100 km for new tyres and 1.25 litres/100 km on average for the 1st life of tyres with a tractor/tractor-trailer ensemble with a cargo load of 40 tonnes equipped with MICHELIN X® LINE™ ENERGY™ Z 295 / 60 R22.5 or 315 / 60 R22.5, MICHELIN X® LINE™ ENERGY™ D 295 / 60 R22.5 and MICHELIN X® LINE™ ENERGY™ T 445 / 45 R19.5 compared to a tractor-trailer/tractor ensemble with a cargo load of 40 tonnes equipped with MICHELIN X® ENERGY™ XF 295 / 60 R22.5 or 315 / 60 R22.5, MICHELIN XDA2 + Energy 295 / 60 R22.5, and MICHELIN XTA2 + ENERGY™ T 445 / 45 R19.5 tyres (rolling resistance reduced by 26%).
