Lower Fuel Costs. Proven Australian Performance.
The Bridgestone Ecopia M759 drive tyre and R119II trailer tyre are engineered to help line-haul fleets reduce fuel consumption and operating costs while delivering excellent wear life and durability. Together, they deliver market-leading fuel-saving performance, providing up to 4.3% greater fuel savings than the next-best competing drive and trailer combination. Validated through more than five million kilometres of Australian testing, the M759 and R119II help fleets reduce CO₂ emissions, lower total operating costs and keep vehicles moving further for less.
“From the lab, to the proving ground and on Australian roads…evolving technology and new innovation is paramount to the quality we deliver.”

How much could you save?
With fuel representing the largest operating costs for transport businesses, even small gains in fuel efficiency can deliver significant savings across a fleet. Tests with Australian fleets proved Bridgestone Ecopia M759 drive and R119II trailer truck tyres saved up to 9.3%^ off their fuel bill when compared to conventional drive and trailer tyres. For a fleet with annual fuel expenditure of $10 million this equates to a fuel saving of up to $930,000 per annum. A proven solution for fleets looking to improve efficiency without sacrificing the performance and reliability they depend on every day.
Efficiency that supports Emissions Reduction
Lower fuel consumption means more than reduced operating costs. The Ecopia M759 and R119II help fleets decrease CO2 emissions by improving fuel efficiency across the combination, supporting efforts to reduce environmental impact and meet sustainability targets. When combined with Bandag low rolling resistance retread solutions such as the BDL3 and B119, these benefits can be extended throughout the tyre lifecycle. The result is a solution that not only helps reduce fuel use and emissions, but also maximises casing utilisation, reduces waste and contributes to a more sustainable transport operation.
^Based on an average of real-world testing, rolling resistance co-efficient results and controlled testing, compared to standard Premium Bridgestone tyres, an estimated fuel saving of 9.3% can be achieved by choosing Ecopia truck tyres. When tested against other branded tyres, fleets could achieve up to 10% fuel saving subject to tyre brand, vehicle configuration, load, speed and driving style. Real world testing conducted on B-Double combinations running typical line haul operations. Total cost saving estimate based on average fleet fuel expenditure of $10,000,000.
