Creating durable tires
that improve fuel efficiency
Tire developments
In today’s legislative and economic climate, in which
environmental aspects are becoming more and more
important, car manufacturers require three main
qualities in tires: low rolling resistance (improving
fuel efficiency), excellent grip (increasing safety) and
low wear (extending lifetimes).
In addition to these requirements, the European Union
has defined mandatory standards for rolling resistance,
wet grip and noise, and emission-based tolls are expected
to be introduced within the next few years. At Teijin Aramid
we are continually improving our aramid solutions, Twaron
and Sulfron, to meet both these future requirements and
the needs of tire manufacturers today.
