TYRE 3.0

    Design and Preparation of a New Hybrid Resin/Rubber Material for the High-Performance Tire “Magic Triangle” Problem

    The three fundamental functions of tires, commonly referred to as the “Magic Triangle” in the industry, are rolling resistance (fuel efficiency), wet grip (safety), and abrasion resistance (tire lifespan). However, with the materials currently used in tire manufacturing, achieving optimal performance across all three functions simultaneously is challenging. The goal of this project is to develop hybrid rubber/resin materials that excel in all aspects, including the demanding area of abrasion resistance.

     

     

     

    The project was carried out at the Applus IDIADA facilities in l’Albornar from 2020 to 2023.

    Budget: €219,593.00

    CDTI Contribution: €165,444.88
