Two models that can be used on both steered and drive axles.
Prometeon tires, particularly the upcoming C02 and U02 models, exemplify the transition toward high-performance, sustainable solutions for modern transportation. Their focus on low rolling resistance, safety, comfort, and durability, along with a significant commitment to the use of environmentally friendly materials, makes these tires an excellent choice for fleet operators looking to reduce costs and their carbon footprint.
Therefore, they expect to introduce the Prometeon Coach CO2 tires for coaches and the Prometeon U02b Urban tires for hybrid and electric buses during the second half of 2025.
Prometeon C02 – The Next-Generation Coach Tire
Key Features:
