Low rolling resistance tires

Low rolling resistance tires
Compared with similar tires, Michelin has introduced a new low rolling resistance tires allow vehicle traffic away from 33%. According to the U.S. government in 2006 to a study conducted by the tire rolling resistance can be reduced by 10% to allow fuel to improve combustion efficiency by 1% to 2%. In 2007, the U.S. Congress passed legislation requiring tire manufacturers by the end of 2009 before the user can be introduced to improve the efficiency of fuel burning tires. High-efficiency fuel to the demand for Michelin, Bridgestone tires, and other manufacturers will be engineers focused its attention on the "green tire", that is designed only to produce low-resistance of the tread pattern, while the use of highly enriched material and silicon rubber mixture. Automobile manufacturers are found in low rolling resistance tires charm Prior to that, they pay more attention to such a hybrid solution. At present, this is becoming a lot of new tires standard "equipment" to improve the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provided fuel combustion efficiency.
低滚动阻力轮胎
  与类似轮胎相比,米奇林公司推出的新低滚动阻力轮胎可让汽车行驶距离提高33%。根据美国政府2006年进行的一项研究,将轮胎滚动阻力降低10%便可让燃料燃烧效率提高1%到2%。2007年,美国国会通过立法,要求轮胎制造商在2009年底前为用户推出可提高燃料燃烧效率的轮胎。对高燃料效率的需求促使米奇林、普利司通等轮胎厂商的工程师将目光聚焦“绿色轮胎”,即设计只产生低阻力的胎面花纹,材料则使用高浓缩硅与橡胶的混合物。汽车制造商正不断发现低滚动阻力轮胎的魅力,在此之前,他们更多地关注混合动力这种解决之道。目前,这种轮胎正成为很多新车的标准“装备”,提高了美国环境保护局规定的燃料燃烧效率。
