Goodyear Aims for 100 Per Cent Tyre Makes from Sustainable Materials
The overriding theme from the IAA for Transportation across the spectrum from the tyre manufacturers was one of sustainability, whether that be in the form of a plethora of digital services that deliver fuel savings for fleets, product advancements that reduce rolling resistance or, as is the case of Goodyear, presenting a demonstration truck tyre that is comprised of 63 per cent sustainable materials.
The 63 per cent sustainable-material demonstration truck tyre included 15 featured ingredients across 20 tyre components with the demonstration tyre being labelled “A” in fuel efficiency, meaning it can offer the same fuel saving as the most efficient Goodyear truck tyres currently offered.
Ben Glesener, the Director for Tyre Technology Commercial EMEA for Goodyear explained, “This tyre is a showcase of where we are on that journey. Our ambition is to have a 100 per cent tyre as soon as we can. In this demonstration tyre, the biggest portion of materials is renewable, and the smaller portion is recycled…..

固特异IAA运输展
展示63%可持续材料卡车轮胎
在今年的IAA运输展上，可持续是所有参展轮胎商的重点。无论是以为车队节省燃料的大量数字服务的形式展出，还是有关降低滚动阻力产品的改进，或者是以固特异为例，展示了一种由63%的可持续材料组成的卡车轮胎模型。
在63%的可持续材料演示的卡车轮胎里包括20个轮胎部件中的15种可持续成分，而演示轮胎带有欧盟燃油效率标签“A”，固特异表示这意味着它可以提供与市场上最高效的商用固特异卡车轮胎相同的燃油节省。
欧洲、中东及非洲区固特异轮胎技术商业总监格莱纳（Ben Glesener）解释说：“这款轮胎展示了我们在这段旅程中所处的位置。我们的目标是尽快拥有百分之百的轮胎。这条演示轮胎的大部分材料是可再生的，可回收的占了较小的部分。”
“需要强调的重要一点是，这不仅仅是百分比。我们在不牺牲任何性能的情况下完成了这些工作。我们只选择性能相同或更好的任何材料…….”
