We are seeing a rapid growth in ELECTRIC VEHICLES. In 2019 electric & hybrid electric registrations increased by 13.1%.In 2020 there were 61 electric vehicles available within the EU market. By 2040, it is assumed Hybrid vehicles will represent between 41% - 58% of new Vehicle Sales and Battery EVs will grow to represent 10.6 – 26.6M cars. Tyres face many challenges when fitted to Electric or Hybrid vehicles
| EVs’ characteristics | Challenges on Tyres |
|---|---|
| Extend driving range | Reducing tyre weight and improving Rolling Resistance |
| Silent electric engine | Reducing tyre impact noise |
| Higher torque of electric engine | Improving tyre wear resistance |
| Weight of the batteries | Increasing tyre load capacity |
| Your EV tyres have been specifically designed for your Electric vehicle Therefore the original tyres should be replaced with the same brand and pattern as before |

B-SILENT is a technology to reduce the “in vehicle noise”. The special material “absorbs” the tyre cavity noise.
ENLITEN technology offers rolling resistance that is lower than the average tyre this significantly impacts CO2 emissions.
OLOGIC a larger vertical diameter and increasing their internal air pressure, it is possible to greatly limit deformation in the contact patch.
