ECOPIA EP150 is a tyre that truly reflects Bridgestone’s advanced technology and commitment to innovation.
This low rolling resistance tyre is designed to deliver excellent fuel economy and low noise while maintaining Bridgestone’s renowned safety standards.
The All-New Myvi is available with a choice of five variants with engine capacities ranging from 1.3 to 1.5 litre. Powering the All-New Myvi are 1.3 and 1.5 litre Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) engines from the Daihatsu Perodua Engine Manufacturing plant in Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan.
Equipped with Dual VVT-I, the engines are mated to either a five-speed manual transmission (MT) in the 1.3 litre variant or a four-speed E-AT automatic transmission (all variants). The All-New Perodua Myvi satisfies EEV standards in compliance with Euro 4 regulations. A new “Eco Idle” system, aerodynamic design and overall technological improvements provide a cleaner and more economical drive. The new EEV engines elevate iconic efficiency to a new level. Low noise and vibration levels contribute to a comfortable driving experience with high fuel efficiency.
Bridgestone Potenza S001L Run Flat Technology Tyre (RFT)
Potenza S001L RFT was developed exclusively by Bridgestone for the Lexus LC 500 to ensure superior performance of the luxury coupe. The tyre provides the driver with reliable control while maintaining a comfortable ride. The Potenza S001L features Bridgestone run-flat tyre technology which is engineered to go up to 80 kilometers (50 miles) to safety after a puncture or a loss of pressure. In addition, as run-flat tires eliminate the necessity for spare tires, they improve the balance in the vehicle's weight distribution and help realize superior driving performance. Furthermore, by eliminating the need for spare tires, which are often disposed of without being used, run-flat tires also contribute to a reduction in the use of resources.
