Michelin's X Multi Energy D2 drive tire cuts rolling resistance 9% over its predecessor

Michelin's X Multi Energy D2 drive tire cuts rolling resistance 9% over its predecessor

Michelin’s X Multi Energy D2 regional drive tire targets fleets running the X Multi Energy D in 295/75R22.5 LRG, 11R22.5 LRG or 11R22.5 LRH. Michelin’s footnotes base its performance percentages on 11R22.5 LRG tires, so fleets in 295/75R22.5 or LRH could ask for size-specific data.

  • 01The 18% figure is a rolling resistance comparison against two named tires, the Bridgestone M760 Ecopia and the Goodyear Fuel Max RTD, in Michelin's internal ISO 28580 testing, which gives buyers a specific head-to-head to check against their own data.
  • 02The change will matter first to fleets running the X Multi Energy D in 295/75R22.5 LRG, 11R22.5 LRG or 11R22.5 LRH. That suggests D fleets may encounter the D2 when ordering those sizes.

Mass Transit reports finished bus refurbishments for Long Beach and Minot

Mass Transit reports finished bus refurbishments for Long Beach and Minot

Mass Transit reported that Complete Coach Works finished refurbishment jobs on 13 Long Beach Transit articulated buses and one Minot City Transit bus. On the Long Beach buses, the biggest change was a swap to Cummins L9N near-zero engines. Jefferson Transit Authority is getting one refurbished bus from CCW through Washington's cooperative purchasing contract. California's Fresno Area Express has also bought CCW work under that contract, which shows its reach goes past Washington.

  • 01Midlife refurbishments can include major engine swaps: LBT’s 2015 New Flyer artics replaced ISL-G engines with Cummins L9N CNG 'Near Zero' units.

PureForge names CRO to push Europe-first OEM plan and fleets

PureForge names CRO to push Europe-first OEM plan and fleets

PureForge named Grant Hanson chief revenue officer to expand from police fleets into commercial fleets and automakers. The pitch splits in two. Data from 120 police agencies backs the fleet case, and a TÜV-Nord test under half the Euro 7 brake limit backs the European OEM pitch.

  • 01PureForge now carries two separate proofs for two separate buyers: 15 million police miles for fleet managers watching brake-job costs, and a German lab result for OEM engineers watching a November deadline.
  • 02PureForge has said its initial sales focus is Europe, where OEMs face a November 2026 deadline under the Euro 7 brake-emission rules.
  • 03For commercial fleets, the figure to test first is the 3–5x pad-life claim; PureForge reported it, so fleets should rerun it against their own brake-job history.
