Fisker Inc. recently announced that it has entered into an agreement with Bridgestone for comprehensive after-sales and related maintenance solutions in France and Germany.
Bridgestone is a global leader in tires and rubber, providing safe and sustainable mobility solutions. The company offers a diverse product portfolio of premium tires and advanced solutions backed by innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions and improve fuel efficiency.
The latest collaboration scales up Fisker’s recent agreement with Bridgestone making the latter its exclusive tire partner for its upcoming all-electric Fisker Ocean SUV. The deal, announced in August, mainly entails Bridgestone supplying lightweight tires to Fisker that will help boost driving ranges.
United in their vision for a more sustainable future of mobility, the latest partnership is a win-win deal for the companies. It will enhance the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) through a fully integrated approach.
