Continental Conti.eContact tires

In the automotive industry, a growing development receive electric and hybrid cars. One of the key criteria influencing the choice of buyer power reserve is these machines. ** Continental ** supports èlektromobil′nosti technologies by developing a new class of tires designed specifically for electric vehicles. A key feature of the new tyre ** Conti. eContact ** -is a significant reduction in rolling resistance and noise levels without compromising the characteristics that affect the level of security. The improvement was achieved by increasing the outer diameter of the tyre and planting due to application of new rubber compounds and design changes tires. When this maximum load remains unchanged. Optimal ratio of all characteristics ** Conti. eContact ** was achieved largely because the simulation method of FEM (finite element method, computer modeling tool). Criteria such as safety behavior of tires under braking on wet surfaces and controllability of the car, as well as the characteristics of the back tires stayed on the same high level as in modern Eco-tires. New tread pattern was specially designed to reduce rolling resistance and noise. In addition, by using the ** Continental Conti. eContact ** possible to reduce CO2 emissions from vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines. Not only care about the environment Wednesday and urgent need for reducing CO2 emissions inspired ** Continental ** to develop tires for electric and hybrid cars. Studies conducted in Europe, Asia and the United States have shown that these cars have already gained quite wide acceptance. But as a negative factor consumers allocate relatively small range for electric vehicles. There is therefore a need to establish special tires, which will help solve this problem. Specially designed tyres can play a crucial role in increasing the range of electric vehicles. According to calculations ** Continental ** to 2020 year market share for electric vehicles in Europe at 5 percent, and globally-3%. This means that the tyre industry should not be excluded from the development and manufacture of a new type of transport. Currently, electric vehicles are still a rarity, but in the next decade everything can cardinally change. After all, a major role is becoming a concern for the environmental protection agency Wednesday and concern over increasing prices of traditional energy sources.
