The ENLITEN EV Concept Tire is paired with Firestone Airide Concept EV Air Springs, designed as part of the integrated corner system tire to optimize efficiency and ride quality. This digitally connected air spring will adapt to dynamic loads and enable active suspension systems to further isolate noise, vibration, and harshness, while maximizing safety and efficiency without compromise to ride comfort.
The air spring also enables proactive vehicle ride-height adjustment to maximize aerodynamic efficiency, improve user accessibility, and protection of underfloor components in urban and off-road environments.
Both the ENLITEN EV Concept Tire and the Firestone Airide Concept EV Air Spring feature integrated sensors that collect air pressure, temperature, and accelerometer data that, when combined with Bridgestone’s proprietary data analytics technology, can inform native vehicle systems with real-time estimations of corner loading, road surface conditions, and the performance capabilities of the tire and spring.
These digitally enabled insights drive awareness and action to maximize safety in electric and autonomous vehicles, while enabling Bridgestone mobility solutions to anticipate vehicle needs and connect customers directly to services that increase productivity and convenience, extend product life, and deliver improved sustainability for the zero-emission, carbon-neutral future of mobility.
