The project is developing new laboratory methods to analyze and predict tire wear under real-world conditions. By combining multiple collection and measurement techniques, researchers can precisely analyze both airborne and deposited tire particles.

Researchers have also developed tribological models that examine how load conditions, material properties, surface characteristics and particle formation interact. The models allow laboratory testing to more closely replicate real-world tire abrasion.

Continental and Renault collaborate on lower rolling resistance tire

RubberWorld 275 Views

Continental has developed a highly efficient tire for French automotive manufacturer Renault Group that significantly increases the range of its electric vehicles. As part of a strategic partnership, a tire was created for Renault Group’s innovation teams with up to 35% lower rolling resistance than required for the EU tire label’s top A rating. For a vehicle with a battery range of 500 kilometers, this translates to approximately 30 additional kilometers of range per charge – roughly the distance from Paris to Versailles.
