Prometeon on track for Copa Truck 2025

Prometeon, a leading supplier of commercial, agricultural and OTR tyres, has recently returned to the track as the official tyre supplier of the popular Copa Truck championship held at Brazil’s most famous racing circuits. 

Milan’s based Prometeon have been confirmed as the official tyre supplier for the 2025 season, commencing at the Campo Grande circuit in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The company will also serve as the championship sponsor. The partnership further underlines Prometeon’s ongoing commitment to motorsport with the Copa Truck event considered to be a leading test ground for the technical characteristics of tyres

The Prometeon R02 Proway Steer version tyres size 295/80R22.5 fitted for the track are the same tyres used by the company’s end users and provide a key opportunity for exchanging data and technological insights between the circuit and the road, enabling continuous product improvement and optimisation.

At the same time, Prometeon has confirmed the continuation of its agreement with Bia Figueiredo, one of Brazil’s most famous motorsport drivers and the first and only woman to have won the Copa Truck in the Super Truck Elite category following her victory at the Curvelo GP in Minas Gerais in 2024.

Bia says, “I am immensely proud to once again have Prometen as my sponsor this racing year. As the category’s official tyre supplier, I am extremely confident our partnership will continue to be successful in the future.”

Alex Bregantim, Chief Technical Offcer at Prometeon adds, “Our great partnership with Bia allows us to refine technologies that have a direct impact on the safety and efficiency of our products and push the limits of tyre performance both on and off the track.”

Prometeon’s success on the track directly translates into continuous benefits for customer fleets and the Serie 02 range shares the same technological package, to strike the perfect balance between mileage, durability and sustainability, meeting the needs of demanding fleets seeking to optimise their operating costs and prioritise sustainability when choosing their partner.

Brazil is the base for two of the Group's four manufacturing sites which serve the South American market, as well as the United States and Mexico: the Santo André factory, the Group’s longest-standing facility inaugurated in 1941, and the Gravataí plant, in operation since 1974, which represents a best practice in sustainability.

Last year the Gravataí facility achieved Carbon Neutrality for Scopes 1 and 2, through innovative investments that optimised its green performance, including a biomass plant that burns wood to produce the steam necessary for tyre production. Both Brazilian plants also purchase energy covered by green certificates, underlining the Company’s commitment to sustainability.
