Prometeon will be stationed at Hall 12, stand 52, where visitors can explore two exciting world premieres. The company will unveil the Prometeon C02, a game-changing coach tyre that represents a milestone in sustainability with an A-rating for rolling resistance, and the Prometeon SuperFleet, a new fleet management solution designed to boost efficiency across a wide variety of fleets.
Sabina Oriani, Head of Sales and Marketing at Prometeon Tyre Group, expressed her excitement about the upcoming event:
"We are excited to be taking part in IAA Transportation where we will have the chance to showcase our latest innovations in terms of products and services. This event gives us the opportunity to present Prometeon C02 Coach, our first tyre with an A rating for rolling resistance, the result of our ongoing commitment to sustainability. We will also be launching SuperFleet, the new fleet management solution designed to support partner fleets with tools that improve efficiency and sustainability in tyre management throughout their entire life cycle. This will be backed by the growing relationship with our SuperTruck network which currently has 400 dealers across Europe."
The Prometeon C02 tyre, scheduled for market release in late 2025, is the company's first coach tyre to achieve an A-rating for rolling resistance, a significant achievement in reducing CO2 emissions and operational costs.
The C02 Coach comes in two variants:
With rolling resistance values below 4.0 N/kgN, this tyre reduces fuel consumption by approximately 0.9 litres per 100 km compared to previous versions, potentially saving a fleet of 50 vehicles around €102,000 annually and reducing CO2 emissions by 157 tonnes each year.
Furthermore, the tyre is a sustainability champion, featuring 80% recycled, certified, or renewable-source materials. It is designed to support the increased load requirements of electric and hybrid vehicles, boasting a higher load index of 156/150 M. RFID technology is integrated for enhanced tracking and management.
Prometeon is not only launching innovative tyres but also introducing Prometeon SuperFleet, a comprehensive fleet management solution. SuperFleet is designed to offer customised, data-driven services to a wide array of fleet sizes and types.
The new offering is supported by the SuperTruck network, which spans 400 dealers across Europe. SuperFleet is built on four key hubs:
Gaetano Trezza, Head of Fleets and Network Development at Prometeon Tyre Group, commented:
"We are proud to introduce SuperFleet, a solution that is a turning point in fleet management. With SuperFleet, we not only offer high-quality tyres, but also a range of services and technologies aimed at optimising efficiency and sustainability. Our vision is to create an integrated ecosystem that supports our customers in achieving their strategic goals, delivering maximum value and superior performance."
Visitors to IAA Transportation 2024 will have the opportunity to see Prometeon’s latest innovations up close. The Prometeon C02 Coach tyre will be on display, alongside the broader Serie 02 product range. The interactive exhibits will allow guests to experience the advantages of SuperFleet and meet with Prometeon experts to discuss how these innovations can enhance their operations.
