<\/p>\nApollo Tyres has confirmed that the new Vredestein Quatrac Pro EV will debut a range of advanced design features and materials. The tyre is also set to become Europe\u2019s first dedicated all-season electric vehicle tyre when it goes on sale in December.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Developed specifically for year-round use by battery electric vehicles and hybrids, Apollo says the tyre has been created to deliver greater driving range while providing superior levels of grip and traction in all conditions \u2013 including ice and snow.<\/p>\n
The new EV tyre has been benchmarked against the current range of award-winning Vredestein all-season tyres.<\/p>\n
Apollo adds that its computer simulations and real-world test programme confirm that the new EV tyre delivers superior levels of grip, facilitates increased driving range thanks to its lower rolling resistance and lighter construction, has a lower environmental impact, produces less noise, delivers a quieter and more comfortable ride, and reduces braking distances.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Vredestein Quatrac Pro EV has been engineered so that less CO2 is generated during production, contributing to a reduced whole-life carbon impact. The new tyre will be manufactured at Apollo Tyres\u2019 two European production facilities, in Enschede, Netherlands and Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6shal\u00e1sz, Hungary.<\/p>\n
The new EV tyre\u2019s all-weather performance is fully certified to the highest industry standards for an all-season tyre, allowing it to carry the benchmark \u2018Three Peak Mountain Snowflake\u2019 symbol on its sidewall, which confirms its proficiency in winter conditions.<\/p>\n
Among the “firsts” for the Quatrac Pro EV are an optimised blend of fourth-generation polymers and “smart” silica in the tread, which maximise wet-surface grip while also delivering low levels of rolling resistance. To reduce energy consumption in use, the construction of the tyre is significantly lighter, thanks to its thinner sidewalls, lower apex and lighter belt material.<\/p>\n
The new EV tyre will feature a number of new EV-specific design characteristics. These include longitudinal grooves with much steeper flanks to brace against higher cornering loads, and an outside shoulder that is wider than the inner shoulder to resist deformation and improve dry and wet handling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
