These tyres will be supplied for 150 e-buses that are being manufactured by Tata Motors for Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST), it said.
”It is a proud moment for all of us at Bridgestone to partner with Tata Motors as they roll out their electric buses for the BEST undertaking. Our tubeless R156 provides a higher fuel efficiency, in this case lesser power consumption because of lower rolling resistance.

According to the company, R156 has ‘Special Nano Pro-Tech Compound Technology’ which results into lesser heat generation, in-turn, reducing the rolling resistance and resulting in fuel efficiency or lesser power consumption and longer tyre life,it said.
