Fuel Efficiency
In the tyre context, fuel efficiency refers to how much a tyre contributes to or reduces a vehicle's fuel consumption, primarily through its rolling resistance. Tyres account for approximately 20% of a car's fuel consumption and up to 30% for heavy commercial vehicles. Selecting fuel-efficient tyres is one of the simplest ways fleet operators can reduce running costs.
