Goodyear has used this year's International Motor Show in Geneva, to present three conceptual tires: environmental, intellectual and adapted for electric vehicles.
foreword
Как в будущем будут выглядеть шины и чем они будут характеризоваться? How can I upgrade the products, we use today, and how important are these technologies in the realization of modern projects, таких как электрические автомобили, municipal transport and the environment? Компания Goodyear использовала международный автосалон в Женеве, to provide answers to these questions.

Tires from Goodyear's future
American manufacturer introduced in Geneva three different product concept, представляющие инновационный подход к технологии изготовления шин. Первым из них является…
Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance for "electric cars"
Goodyear has conducted a test, and concluded, that electric cars using today's tires consume 30% more electricity, than if it used its tires. This is primarily due to the high torque immediately transmitted to the wheels.
Created specifically for the "electric" EfficientGrip Performance tires (with Electric Drive Technology), более оптимальны. Достичь этого удалось благодаря более тонким каналам в рисунке протектора (increasing the area of contact with the road), что позволяет нивелировать негативное влияние большого крутящего момента без потери производительности. Такая конструкция также призвана обеспечить более низкий шум.

But that is not all, because the manufacturer has boasted an optimized tire shape, and the use of the corresponding mixture and correct profile, this resulted in the reduction of energy consumption, but, Consequently, and increasing the range of vehicle travel.
smart bus, this is what?
In Geneva it was also shown prototype tires "smart", оборудованной датчиками и адаптированной для работы в облаке. Effect? „The transfer of real-time information about the behavior of the bus mode and its condition may signal the need for maintenance activities, to extend the service life, improve its efficiency, profitability and other indicators” , - explained Chris Delaney from Goodyear.
„This kind of active service will allow drivers to pinpoint and prevent problems with the tires” , - added Delaney. For information to be transmitted are:
- the degree of wear;
- temperature;
- pressure.

"Green" tire Goodyear Oxygene
Thirds of the presented concepts is Oxygene - Bus, которая призвана… улучшать качество воздуха в городе. How is it possible? Секрет кроется в уникальной конструкции – ее боковой грани, which is formed is nothing, как живой мох. Специальная конструкция протектора позволяет набирать воду с дороги необходимой для роста мха.

Goodyear приводит даже конкретные цифры. Если бы в каждом из 2,5 million cars in a big city such tires were installed, year managed to create an almost 3000 tons of oxygen and absorb more 4000 tons of carbon dioxide.
Isolation oxygen moss growing on the side of the tire, это еще не все ее „зеленые” преимущества. Какие есть еще? First of all, power generation (Via photosynthesis), a driver which can be used for small batteries, such as sensors or - which is another novelty - strip, to warn other drivers about the performed maneuvers.
Шины Oxygene как и положено экологическим решениям будут производится исключительно из вторсырья. Производитель объяснил, that the 3D-printer, and rubber powder will be used for their production.
"Tire Oxygene, as well as other concepts, presented by Goodyear, designed to challenge our thinking and support the debate on reasonable, безопасного и устойчивого развития автомобильной промышленности в будущем. Помогая очистке воздуха в городе, the tire can improve quality of life and health of city dwellers ", - Delaney said.
