The new Nokian eLine represents the technology of the future. Its greener nature suits pioneers who appreciate low fuel consumption and lower exhaust gas emissions. The safe, harmonious handling brings added peace of mind. The fuel efficiency and wet grip of this unique summer tyre present the absolute best in the industry; it is ranked as class A on the new EU tyre label. Nokian eLine is aimed at smaller cars utilising hybrid technology, for example. It will be available to consumers in the spring of 2013.

Safety for wet roads 

Many innovations in technology set the Nokian eLine apart from normal summer tyres. The moment of inertia of this pioneering tyre has been significantly reduced, making the tyre very responsive to steering movements. The moment of inertia resists steering, much in the way a spinning top resists falling over. The Nokian eLine is easy and quick to handle, even under surprising conditions.

The curved tread pattern and rigid belt structure of the Nokian eLine work together seamlessly to create a stable driving feel. When the accelerating slip that is caused by the tyres rolling at the point of contact has been minimised, wet grip can be improved and braking distance on wet, slippery roads can be made shorter.

Innovations make a green product

In the Nokian eLine, the traditional grooves on the outer shoulder have been replaced by sipes. The shape of the tread blocks is also different from the norm. The tread block was made shorter longitudinally and expanded laterally. This means that the load of the Nokian eLine is distributed along a larger area, creati...

In the Nokian eLine, the traditional grooves on the outer shoulder have been replaced by sipes. The shape of the tread blocks is also different from the norm. The tread block was made shorter longitudinally and expanded laterally. This means that the load of the Nokian eLine is distributed along a larger area, creating a minimum amount of deformation while driving, which in turn minimises rolling resistance. The cross-section is also straighter than in traditional tyre models, which further reduces rolling resistance.

The rubber compound, which is tailored for demanding use, emphasises the eco-friendly nature of the Nokian eLine. This fuel-efficient newcomer quickly reaches the planned operating temperature. The rolling resistance of this energy efficient tyre is low from the very first metres onwards.
