Tire Guide: The Wheel of Time Interview
Christoph Kalla (Head of Marketing, Research and Development PBR Lanxess AG) is already working on the tire technology of tomorrow. Five questions to the tire experts at Lanxess AG.
We work for the next two years to reduce fuel consumption by three percent and are confident that by the year 2040 by half to reach the rolling resistance.
No, using modern materials and appropriate technology can even be improved at the same critical properties.
Do we tire of the future to adapt to new tire dimensions?
Yes, smaller dimensions with new tread design and large wheels are increasingly used.
More and more electric cars coming onto the market. What special requirements they place on the tires?
Due to the higher efficiency of electric motors to help each one percent reduction in rolling resistance, to extend the reach above average. Because of stronger driving forces also larger diameter will be required.
What is your vision of the tires of the Year 2025?
Also, the tire of the future remains a pneumatic suspension component which is held by rubber mixtures in the form. In principle, do not change the requirements for tires basically. Potential savings and security are even more back into focus.
