- Integrated Technologies: Bridgestone will feature IntelliTire, a remote-health monitoring system, and Toolbox, an asset-tracking platform, as data-driven solutions that can help construction fleets drive greater efficiency for their operations.
- Service: Bridgestone’s dealer network, engineers and training programs all help improve tire performance and minimize downtime for operations.
OTR Product
The new VZT 25 in’ is the latest addition to Bridgestone’s construction tire lineup. Designed for loader and grader applications, the VZT enhances traction and durability while improving a smooth, comfortable ride, the company says. The VZT’s sidewall design provides enhanced cut resistance, enabling a better total cost of ownership of the tire, according to Bridgestone.
Bridgestone said the VZT will be available beginning in the first half of 2024 in five sizes: 17.5R25, 20.5R25, 23.5R25, 26.5R25 and 29.5R25. Bridgestone will manufacture the VZT in North America at the company’s Bloomington, Illinois OTR plant, as well as in facilities in Japan and Thailand to serve Bridgestone’s global customer base.
