Attendees from various MEA countries experienced an immersive African driving adventure against the panoramic setting of Mount Kenya. The launch event incorporated a thrilling drive on a meticulously curated route, tested by Stefano Modena, delivering an adrenaline-packed experience and reinforcing the Dueler A/T002's ability to provide optimal control in diverse terrains.

The unveiling ceremony was complemented by a comprehensive product presentation and Q&A session, allowing participants to delve into the advanced features and benefits of the Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain A/T002. The event also featured a safari experience, underscoring the tyre's adaptability and performance in both on- and off-road conditions.

Networking sessions, including lunches and dinners, also played a pivotal role in fostering connections among distributors, dealers, and representatives from the Middle East, Africa, and the surrounding regions. These moments of interaction contributed to building strong partnerships and enhancing collaboration within the diverse market landscape of the MEA region.

The new Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain A/T002 is available in 43 sizes ranging from 15 to 19 inches. The all-terrain tyre was designed and tested using Virtual Tyre Development technology.
