Room 1
Developing tires for advanced and future vehicles and applications
The rise of electric mobility has driven significant advancements in tire design to meet the unique demands of EVs. This presentation explores innovations addressing key requirements such as high traction, low rolling resistance, wear resistance, noise reduction and high load capacity. It covers tire cavity, tread patterns, sidewall, compound, reinforcements and construction techniques. Highlights include flat tread profiles, adaptive patterns, advanced polymers, lightweight reinforcements and improved durability for heavy battery loads. Technologies like foam for noise reduction and sealants for extended mobility are also discussed. These developments enable bespoke tire solutions, supporting EV adoption and enhancing the overall driving experience.
  • EV-specific tire designs address unique needs like high torque, heavy loads and regenerative braking through advanced structure and materials
  • Tire cavity and tread innovations reduce rolling resistance, enhance traction and improve comfort while supporting EV-specific driving dynamics
  • Advanced compounds and reinforcements improve rolling resistance, wear, durability, wet grip and reduce weight – key for enhancing EV range and handling
  • Noise and comfort enhancements, such as acoustic foam and pattern optimization, minimize cabin noise and enhance ride quality
  • Enabling technologies like self-sealing tires improve safety and mobility by reducing the impact of punctures in EVs without spare tires.
