The world of mobility and how we travel is constantly evolving, just like the thousands of tyres we fit each year…the technology never stops turning.
We’re in an era of rapid transformation and to stay ahead of the curve, Kwik Fit has been on an exciting journey of its own, with all roads leading to one household name in an exciting, strengthened partnership. Bridgestone.
Kwik Fit and Bridgestone partnership
Bridgestone is at the forefront of tyre innovation, developing premium, high-tech products that tackle the challenges of today’s changing mobility.
As one of the world’s largest tyre manufacturers, Bridgestone is at the sharp end of tyre design, engineering future-ready products which maximise safety on the road, as well as delivering premium performance. Bridgestone is shaping the future of mobility, and by working closely with them, Kwik Fit’s network of over 600 centres will benefit from some of the most impressive products in the marketplace.
Driving innovation with Bridgestone
The automotive industry - and its business models that were stable for so long – is facing a level of change almost unseen, since the dawn of the horse and cart.
One look at data from The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) provides ample evidence, with the millionth battery electric vehicle (BEV) joining roads in Britain in January 2024. The SMMT also forecasts that 414,000 new BEVs are expected to hit UK highways in 2024.
