<\/p>\nUsing a range of sustainable materials in the tyre tread compound, Goodyear has developed the Eagle GO concept tyre, which will be fitted to the Citroen oli, the French brand’s new concept car.<\/p>\n
The Eagle GO is the third Goodyear concept tyre developed with Citroen and is said to have been created to optimise efficiency, durability and comfort.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Goodyear says this concept tyre uses a compound in the tread, the part of the tyre that wears, made of nearly all sustainable or recycled materials. These materials include sunflower oils, pine tree resins, natural rubber and rice husk ash silica.<\/p>\n
According to Goodyear, the Eagle GO concept tyre has the potential to be renewed twice across its lifetime, which increases the lifespan of the tyre. Goodyear has set an objective for the Eagle GO concept tyre to achieve up to 500,000km through the reuse of the sustainable carcass and renewable tread.<\/p>\n
The Eagle GO concept tyre uses Goodyear SightLine technology, which includes a sensor that monitors a variety of tyre health parameters. This technology is already being applied to help Goodyear fleet customers and could significantly reduce waste and increase efficiency by maintaining ideal pressure and tyre condition.<\/p>\n
Monitoring the health of the tyre is an important factor in determining whether or when a tyre can be renewed, thus increasing circularity and efficiency.<\/p>\n
Goodyear says adding this technology to the Eagle GO concept tyre is in line with its goal to “reinvent” tyres and service, delivering data-and-sensor-enabled intelligence in all new products by 2027.<\/p>\n
\u201cTyre architecture has come a long way by incorporating sustainable materials and smart technologies,\u201c explained Laurent Colantonio, regional technology director consumer EMEA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Citroen, we have a relationship that provides a great testbed for developing and testing new technologies and techniques.<\/p>\n
\u201cConcept tyres are a fantastic way for Goodyear to research and develop ground-breaking technologies that can make its way into our products.<\/p>\n
“The learnings from this project will go towards our future as a mobility enabler that consistently innovates its products and services.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
