Pirelli has financially supported the research by the Milan and Turin Polytechnics focused on a bonding agent between silica and polymer chains with a low environmental impact. The name Janus derives from the fact that this molecule possesses a reflection symmetry
The modern world is increasingly distinguished by the importance of data, produced in large quantities and then refined into information to support industrial decisions. The world of tyres is no exception, and Big Data, used in designing and developing new products, are produced both by the tyres themselves and in the factories where they are made, with Artificial Intelligence in the centre of the picture.
Many of the materials used in tyre construction are oil derivatives, making tyres dependent on a limited resource with a high environmental impact, which is why both manufacturers and research institutions are striving to find sustainable materials
CEVA TyreCity is at the heart of an efficient logistic model, “tailor-made” for tyres
The fast-growing truck tire manufacturer is seeking to consolidate its market position and affirm its identity with precise strategic choices as well as sponsorship projects in the World Superbike Championship and Parma Calcio
Manufacturers focus on recycling, reusing and 'green' materials to produce new eco-sustainable tires
The EU tightens the screw on proofs of good repute while the Supreme Court confirms tampering with tachographs as a crime
At the headquarters in Milan, specialized engineers design and test new compounds and tread patterns for the future
The space between the wheel and the tire casing is shaped like a tube, and the air within it can resonate and produce annoying sounds while travelling. This phenomenon is most noticeable in quiet electric vehicles, but the industry has developed several countermeasures
Quick development, less raw material consumption, and useful information about tire behaviour as they age: Digital Twins enable all this and much more
