The Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility is promoting investments in modern, environmentally friendly, and safe equipment for commercial vehicle fleets through the "Environmental Protection and Safety 2025 (US 2025)" program. This year, transport companies can receive financial support for selected efficiency enhancement measures. These include certain tire solutions from the manufacturer Bridgestone.

"Those who address their tire needs early on can utilize the funding purposefully and economically. Especially with high-demand products, it is worthwhile to plan availability

proactively," says Christoph Frost, Director Commercial Products Bridgestone Central Europe. "With a view to the upcoming funding period and the new program from the Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility, we support our customers and partners."

Tire Solutions as Part of the Funding

According to Bridgestone, the current funding period includes the option to include certain tire models in the applications. The company points out that early planning of needs is crucial to use the funding effectively. Bridgestone

claims to support fleet operators and trading partners in determining needs, selecting suitable products, and coordinating delivery quantities.

Early Disposition Recommended

High demand is expected, says Bridgestone. Therefore, the company advises arranging the necessary quantities early to avoid possible shortages. The company claims to accompany the application process from the start and provides its technical expertise as well as a wide portfolio of eligible products.
