According to foreign media Techspot, Mike Rytokoski, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Goodyear Europe, said a few days ago: Goodyear hopes that tires can be more powerful to meet the specific travel needs of consumers. It is out of this ambition that we began to create a concept tire for future personalized and convenient electric vehicles. “
This tire manufacturer has put forward many ideas, hoping to make people’s cars run smoothly. Five years ago, Goodyear proposed a tire concept that can charge electric vehicles while they are running. Last year, the company introduced Aero, a dual-mode system tire that is conceived to be used when a flying car transitions from the road to the air.
exist3D printingIn this era, tire manufacturers will inevitably adopt this technology. Michelin adopted this technology in 2017. The technology is a puncture-resistant biodegradable tire made of orange peel and wood chips.Now Goodyear has announced a brand new3D printingTire, its concept tire can print the tread from the inside.
ReCharge is a tire that never deflates, does not need to be replaced, and does not need to be rotated. This concept tire uses renewable compounds and uses spider silk as an inspiration to reinforce fibers. The material is very durable and fully biodegradable. Synthetic rubber is contained in the wheel hub that can be inserted into the tire without removing the tire.
The way it works is that the wheel will contain a solution of the compound, which will be squeezed onto the surface of the tire through a small tube. Artificial intelligence will control the flow so that the material only reaches where it is needed. Once exposed to the air, the compound will cure into a rubber-like material. AI also stores driver profiles to create custom compounds that can be adapted to driving style, weather and road conditions. It is not clear whether this customization occurs in real time or if it must be replaced with a dealer’s customized fluid.
Of course, this is just a concept at present. Although Goodyear already has the required telemetry and algorithms, the compound is extremely expensive to produce.
