Goodyear unveiled two ground-breaking concept tyres at this week's Geneva International Motor Show that could solve 'range fear' that people suffer about electric cars.
The first concept – named “BHO3” – is designed to charge the batteries of electric cars by transforming the heat generated by the rolling tyre into electrical energy.
The second concept – named “Triple Tube” – contains three tubes that adjust tyre inflation pressure in response to changing road conditions, delivering new levels of performance and versatility.
“These concept tyres reimagine the role that tyres may play in the future,” said Joe Zekoski, Goodyear senior vice president and chief technical officer. “We envision a future in which our products become more integrated with the vehicle and the consumer more environmentally friendly and more versatile.”
