ENSO is a London-born tyre technology company that makes better tyres for electric vehicles (EVs), to extend EV range and reduce tyre pollution, a major source of air and microplastic pollution. ENSO’s are designed specifically for high-mileage commercial use, aiming to reduce costs and minimise environmental impact, helping fleets achieve their sustainability goals while improving operational efficiency.
Fleets transitioning to EVs face unique challenges, such as accelerated tyre wear due to the specific characteristics of electric vehicles and the urban environments in which the usually drive. ENSO addresses these issues by offering more durable tyres that reduce particulate pollution by up to 35% and increase EV range by 10%. These benefits translate directly into lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for fleet operators, allowing businesses to save on energy costs, replacement tyres, and vehicle downtime.
ENSO provides flexible service options to meet your fleet's needs. Choose between a traditional tyre purchase model or our fully managed 'tyres as a service' package, which covers your fleets requirements at a fixed monthly cost. Our tyre management solution lets you select the most convenient networks and centres, including fast-fit chains, independent garages, or main dealers.
ENSO has recently partnered with i247 Group, allowing your fleets to gain access to extensive UK National coverage to support rapid response and schedule mobile bookings.
As the only Certified B-Corporation in the tyre industry, ENSO is committed to environmental and social responsibility. Leading the way to decarbonise the tyre industry, ENSO has pledged to eliminate fossil fuel-derived materials from its supply chain and manufacture entirely carbon-neutral tyres by 2030. Recognised as a finalist for Prince William’s prestigious Earthshot Prize, ENSO has been praised for its innovative approach to tackling tyre pollution and promoting cleaner air in cities. By partnering with fleets and delivering purpose-made tyres for EVs, ENSO is helping businesses transition to cleaner, more efficient operations, one tyre at a time.

Its many arteries connect our major towns and cities, ensure commuters make it to work every day, and help millions of us visit our friends and families.
