- Michelin Launches X Multi Energy D2 Tire for Regional Fleets
Michelin has introduced the X Multi Energy D2, a new regional-haul drive tire designed to improve fuel efficiency, durability, and traction for fleets operating in demanding stop-and-go environments. The tire is aimed at regional trucking operations where frequent acceleration, braking, varying road conditions, and rising fuel costs can place additional stress on tires and operating budgets. According to Michelin, the X Multi Energy D2 combines an updated tread pattern with a newly developed tread compound. These changes are intended to improve resistance to tread damage caused by high-torque vehicles and the repeated acceleration and braking common in regional-haul applications. The company says the design can help fleets maintain performance while reducing overall operating costs. One of the tire’s major features is Michelin’s Duracore casing, which incorporates Infinicoil and Powercoil technologies along with a reinforced bead design known as Duracoil Technology. Michelin designed the casing for up to 1 million miles of service and as many as four retreads, potentially allowing fleets to extend the useful life of the tire casing over multiple tread cycles. Fuel efficiency is another area Michelin says it has improved. The X Multi Energy D2 delivers 9% better rolling resistance compared with its predecessor, the Michelin X Multi Energy D. Lower rolling resistance can reduce the amount of energy required to keep a truck moving, which may help fleets lower fuel consumption over time. Michelin also focused on maintaining traction as the tire wears. In the company’s internal testing, the X Multi Energy D2 demonstrated 10% better wet handling performance and 16% better snow starting traction when worn compared with the previous-generation tire. These improvements are particularly relevant for regional fleets that operate throughout changing weather and road conditions. For truck manufacturers, the new tire also meets applicable Greenhouse Gas standards, allowing it to support vehicle configurations designed around fuel-efficiency and emissions requirements. The X Multi Energy D2 is currently available in 295/75R22.5 Load Range G, as well as 11R22.5 Load Range G and Load Range H sizes. These versions replace the Michelin X Multi Energy D tire in the corresponding sizes. Regional-haul fleets face different tire demands than long-haul operations because their trucks typically experience more frequent stops, turns, acceleration, and braking. Michelin developed the X Multi Energy D2 around those conditions, with a focus on balancing fuel savings with durability rather than sacrificing tire life for improved efficiency. For fleets managing large numbers… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago - Mike Sheffield Adds WGRF/WQHZ Programming Duties

HENRICO, Va. (AP) — In-person voting for this year’s midterm elections began Friday, ushering in the final six weeks for Americans to decide which party they trust to lead Congress through a cost-of-living crisis, a prolonged war in Iran and other pressing issues. Election administrators say they are prepared and confident the vote will be accurate and secure. Nevertheless, President Donald Trump has continued with efforts to denigrate certain voting methods and reshape how elections are run, through court challenges, an expansive federal hunt for noncitizen voters and a pressure campaign to force election officials to share sensitive voter data. Friday marked the start of early voting in Virginia. Voters in a handful of other states, including Idaho, Minnesota and South Dakota, can cast absentee ballots in person, typically at a local election office or voting center. More expansive early voting is scheduled to begin in those and other states in the coming weeks. At a voting location in Fairfax, Virginia, 18-year-old college student Sanya Singhal was among the first to vote early in person Friday morning, arriving well before the site opened to get in line. “Why not just have a little fun in life, you know, try to be the first early voter?” she said. “I really want to participate in my democracy.” The Nov. 3 election includes votes for governor and state legislature in most states and will determine whether Republicans maintain control of the U.S. House and Senate. If Democrats retake Congress, it will alter the trajectory of the final two years of Trump’s term, most likely leading to investigations and other oversight efforts. Voting underway after unusual redistricting and Trump’s bid to control how elections are run The start of early voting comes at a time of deep angst among many Americans about issues including rising gas and grocery prices, the war in Iran, the looming risks of artificial intelligence and Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement campaign. It also follows an unprecedented spate of mid-decade redistricting for the U.S. House that began when Trump urged the Republican-controlled legislature in Texas to redraw its congressional map to help the party. California and other states followed. The changes affect millions of people:… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago
