Tire industry lifts green technology wave
The tire oil consumption accounts for 20-30% of the vehicle's fuel consumption, which is an important part of the low-carbon and energy-saving of the automotive industry. Relying on technological progress, the use of new materials, new processes, and new formulas to further reduce tire rolling resistance and achieve green tires have become a major goal for the tire industry in the future. This is the information that the reporter obtained from the Green Concept, Low-Carbon Economy, and 2010 China Tire Technology Forum held by the Tire Branch of the China Rubber Industry Association. Fan Rende, head of the China National Rubber Association, said that fuel-efficient, environmentally-friendly and safe tires have become the mainstream trend in the development of automotive tires. Although China is the world's largest tire producer, there is still a gap in technology compared with the world-famous tire companies. Product homogenization is still common. In particular, the European Union, the United States, and Japan all impose stricter regulations on the fuel efficiency of tires, which means that higher standards are imposed on tire performance. China's tire companies can only meet this requirement by developing low-rolling-resistance energy-saving and environmentally-friendly tires. According to Cai Weimin, secretary general of the tire division, tire rolling resistance is reduced by 20%, fuel saving can be achieved by 2 to 4%, mileage of tires is increased by 35%, and carbon dioxide emission is reduced by 4 grams per kilometer. Each vehicle can save 23 liters of fuel each year. Under the premise of not changing the body, using only green tires will enable the car to achieve better emission reduction targets. Therefore, the greenization of the tire industry will certainly contribute to the development of China's low-carbon economy. Cai Weimin believes that China's tire industry should integrate resources and cooperate extensively with production, education and research to innovate from the source of product design. Experts said that the current domestic major tire companies have also realized the importance of low-carbon economy to the development of enterprises. For example, Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co., Ltd. has invested 80 million yuan in the development and manufacture of green tires last year; Triangle Tire Company proposes green tires for the next 3 years. The product will reach more than 70%; South China Rubber Tire Co., Ltd. has significantly reduced energy consumption through a series of technological innovations; Fengshen Tire Co., Ltd. develops low rolling resistance tires to improve tire retreadability; Shuang Qiang Co., Ltd. actively develops all steel radial tires.
