Michelin Backs Greenfleet Drive Day at Silverstone
Michelin will actively support the GreenFleet
drive-day event at Silverstone 11 April. The company
says the event will demonstrate the value of its new
Primacy HP tyres which are said to deliver “at least 25
per cent more miles than equivalent competitors’
products and the huge fuel saving benefits of its Energy
low rolling resistance tyre range.”
Michelin will have three vehicles available to drive, a
Peugeot 607 HDi which is fitted with the new Primacy HP
tyre as original equipment, a new Renault Clio fitted
with Michelin Energy, demonstrating economical miles per
gallon figures and the Ford Focus BioFuel running on
Michelin Primacy HP tyres.
Primacy HP is the latest Michelin product and is said to
offer long life, improved fuel consumption and
class-leading handling and braking. Independent tests
carried out by Germany’s TUV vehicle testing
organisation have proved that Primacy HP delivers at
least 25 per cent more miles than tyres of similar
quality and specification. Primacy HP performance is
maintained throughout the life of the tyre, with braking
performance after 10,000 kilometres, equal to that of
the brand new tyre.
“Extended mileage and lower fuel consumption coupled
with premium handling, braking and safety qualities are
the hallmark of Michelin products and these benefits are
particularly valuable to the fleet user who is always
looking to minimise vehicle operating expenses,” says
Rob Foreman, Michelin UK’s fleet sales manager. “The
GreenFleet day is an ideal shop window for our products
and we expect many of our fleet customers to attend.” |
