Singapore - Giti Tire’s GAU867v1 all-position urban bus tyre range has been updated with core developments targeting Europe’s growing electric bus market.
A new size has been launched, 265/70R19.5 143/141 J, while the existing 275/70R22.5 has an updated load index of 152/148 J. These two tyres – which carry a new EBus sidewall logo, which stands for both Eco and Electric – provide a higher load capability to accommodate heavy batteries, greater tread abrasion resistance to address the high torque of electric engines and deliver low energy consumption to maximise battery range.
