在其Firestone品牌慶祝連續25年成爲NTT INDYCAR SERIES和印第安納波利斯500的獨家輪胎供應商之際，普利司通生產了一款Firestone Firehawk Indy 500賽車輪胎，該輪胎含有兩種來自棕櫚油加工廢渣的單體。今年比賽輪胎中包含的生物苯乙烯和丁二烯單體獲得了國際可持續發展和碳認證（ISCC）的認證，以確保整個供應鏈中可持續原材料的透明度和可追溯性。1
"Our racing heritage with Firestone dates back more than 100 years to the very first Indy 500 in 1911, and we remain focused on helping sustain the sport we love for future generations," said Cara Krstolic, Executive Director of Race Tire Engineering and Production, Bridgestone Americas. "The demands of racing also offer the ultimate challenge for our innovation. In proving the same premium performance can be delivered at this level through more sustainable materials and technologies, we can work to extend these efforts beyond motorsports into solutions being designed for the future of mobility."

Advancing Sustainability Through Motorsports
Using the sustainably-sourced monomers in this year's Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 race tires is the latest example of Bridgestone's efforts to prove and accelerate the use of sustainable materials and technologies through motorsports and the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
通過賽車運動促進可持續發展
在今年的Firestone Firehawk Indy 500賽車輪胎中使用可持續來源的單體是普利司通努力通過賽車運動和NTT INDYCAR系列來證明和加速使用可持續材料和技術的最新例子。
- All Firestone Firehawk race tires for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES are manufactured at Bridgestone's ISCC PLUS-certified Advanced Tire Production Center (ATPC) in Akron, Ohio. The facility was awarded the certification in 2022 for its transparency and traceability of sustainable raw materials including bio, bio-circular, and circular-based synthetic rubber.1
- Bridgestone is once again partnering with Penske Truck Leasing and IMS to transport all Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires to the track using electric-powered Freightliner eCascadia trucks.
- Outside of the Indy 500, Bridgestone uses guayule-derived natural rubber in the sidewalls of the Firestone Firehawk alternate race tires made for NTT INDYCAR SERIES street course races. Guayule is a desert shrub grown at Bridgestone's research facility in Arizona that is being explored as a potential alternative source of natural rubber.
- NTT INDYCAR 系列的所有 Firestone Firehawk 競賽輪胎均由位於俄亥俄州阿克倫的普利司通經ISCC Plus認證的高級輪胎生產中心（ATPC）製造。該設施因其可持續原材料（包括生物、生物循環和循環基合成橡膠）的透明度和可追溯性而於2022年獲得認證。1
- 普利司通再次與彭斯克卡車租賃和IMS合作，使用電動Freightliner eCascadia卡車將所有Firestone Firehawk Indy 500輪胎運送到賽道上。
- 除了印地500之外，普利司通在爲NTT INDYCAR SERIES街頭賽道比賽制造的Firestone Firehawk備用競賽輪胎的側壁中使用了瓜尤爾衍生的天然橡膠。Guayule是普利司通位於亞利桑那州的研究機構種植的一種沙漠灌木，正在探索將其作爲天然橡膠的潛在替代來源。
Bridgestone continues to use world-class racing as both a global co-creation platform and a proving ground for delivering the values of the Bridgestone E8 Commitment. This corporate commitment outlines eight areas where the company is focused on contributing to a more sustainable world. Bridgestone's sustainability commitments surrounding the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 demonstrate the "Emotion," "Energy" and "Ecology" values of the Bridgestone E8 Commitment. Together with broader initiatives across the company, these efforts are designed to help advance Bridgestone toward its targets of achieving carbon neutrality and tires made with 100% renewable and recycled materials by 2050.
普利司通繼續使用世界一流的賽車作爲全球共同創造平台，也是實現普利司通E8承諾價值觀的試驗場。該企業承諾概述了公司專注於爲更可持續的世界做出貢獻的八個領域。普利司通圍繞 108 的可持續發展承諾第四 印第安納波利斯500強賽的舉辦體現了普利司通E8承諾的 “情感”、“能量” 和 “生態” 價值觀。這些舉措加上公司內部更廣泛的舉措，旨在幫助普利司通實現其目標，即到2050年實現碳中和並使用100％可再生和回收材料製造輪胎。
