Si tout le parc automobile et poids lourd européen était équipé de ces pneus à faible résistance au roulement, le gain annuel en carburant serait de 4,5 milliards de litres de gazole et de 1,5 milliards de litres d'essence. Le rejet annuel de CO2 diminuerait pour sa part de 15 millions de tonnes soit l'équivalent de ce que captent 600 millions d'arbres par an !
