DuPont announced its commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In a letter submitted to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the company indicated its intent to set long-term science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets, thereby establishing an end-to-end value chain net-zero target to be verified by SBTi in accordance with SBTi’s Net-Zero Standard. The net-zero goal aligns with the rigorous standards set by SBTi and the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

Tires with IF or VF technology are built with a flexible yet durable sidewall and run at a lower inflation level than standard radials, allowing full expansion of the footprint while being rigid enough to keep the center of the tread anchored to the ground to maintain traction and wear performance. Tires with IF technology can carry about 20% more load than standard equivalent-sized radial tires at the same inflation pressure. When axle loads do not increase, the inflation pressure can be reduced to standard radial tires. Tires with VF technology can carry about 40% more load than standard equivalent-sized radial tires at the same inflation pressure. When axle loads do not increase, the inflation pressure can be reduced compared to standard radial tires.
