Michelin Korea Launches 'Michelin X Multi-Energy' Truck Tire With Both Fuel Economy and Lifetime
May 30, 2025

Truck tires require high driving stability and fuel efficiency due to the nature of driving long distances with cargo. In particular, for drivers in the transportation industry, "fuel efficiency," which is directly related to reducing fuel costs, is one of the main concerns when choosing tires. The 295/80R22.5 released in Korea is a low flat-ratio tire, and the load is distributed over a wide ground area with the road, providing a reduction in partial wear of the tire and a stable ride, which is drawing keen attention from the commercial vehicle market recently.
The fuel-efficient truck tire "Michelin X Multi-Energy" product line, which will be introduced in Michelin Korea, is a truck tire product that combines the advantages of these low flat-ratio tires and Michelin's excellent technology, and it has excellent fuel efficiency and durability to help reduce total cost of operation (TCO) for drivers.
Customers can reduce costs through long mileage and more than 5% annual fuel economy savings, thereby realizing environmental values.
Alex Volz, Mayor Segment Leader of B2B in Southeast Asia and Oce Asia in Michelin"After providing the Michelin X Multi-Family with excellent mileage and traction to mid- to long-distance customers in Korea, we are very pleased to introduce the Michelin X Multi-Energy Family to customers whose mileage and fuel economy are the most important" and"We hope that you will feel differentiated value through this new product, which combines Michelin's excellent performance and accumulated experience in other markets"
High-performance implementation by mobilizing all of Michelin's excellent technology as well as fuel efficiency
Driving Safety: Michelin X Multi-Energy's surface is equipped with a "Regenion Tread" that utilizes Michelin's advanced 3D mold technology. As the tire wears, the tread block regenerates itself and maintains a constant tread pattern rate, continuing to provide excellent drainage performance and grip throughout the tire life to further enhance driving stability.
Even wear and strength: The Michelin X Multi-Energy adopts Infinicoil technology, which covers the entire tire with a steel reinforcement belt about 400 meters long, to keep the shape of the tread stable even when the load is moved during driving. This increases the structural stability of the tire, thereby minimizing deformation and improving durability by preventing partial wear. In addition, the bead wire part where tires and wheels meet is designed to withstand high load conditions by applying a "Powercoil" composed of strong high-strength steel cables and special nylon materials.
Strong Wet Road and Snowflake Performance: Michelin X Multi-Energy is '3PMSF (3 Peak Mountain with Snow Flake)' certified and can be used safely on snowy and icy roads with braking and traction in harsh snow conditions. Michelin's own tests confirmed uniform braking performance on wet roads as well as snowy roads.
Jerome Vincon, CEO of Michelin Korea, said "As this Michelin X Multi-Energy was launched by listening to the diverse needs and voices of domestic commercial vehicle customers, we are confident in proposing economic effects, outstanding performance, and environmental effects in all aspects."We will strive to become a brand that always provides better value and solutions by meeting the trust and expectations of customers who trust and choose Michelin tires."
The "MICHELIN X Multi Energy" is being installed as a new vehicle tire in the latest large truck lineup of Volvo Trucks that will be released in Korea after 2025.
In order to deliver improved value to customers, Michelin is actively proposing rig-rubbing (home digging) that provides both economic benefits, safety and environmental value by extending life even after tires are worn out. All Michelin's truck tires are rig-rubbing.
More information on the Michelin X multi-energy family is available on the Michelin Membership app.
