2015 Tire Industry Top 10 Technology Trends


In 2015, the tire industry showed some unprecedented technological trends.

This year, smart tires and self-healing tires have gradually become the new darling of tire companies in various countries; aviation tires have made breakthroughs in China; the lack of gas-guaranteed tires has officially entered the popularization phase; tire new materials have emerged to move the entire industry again and again. The nerves...

The industry generally believes that in the face of these new trends in technology, tire companies can not stick to the rules, only by following the trend to make a difference. Especially for Chinese tire companies that are “internally and diplomatically difficult”, it is more urgent to grasp the technological trend.

The following is a list of ten major technology trends in the tire industry in 2015.

Intelligent Tire
<br> <br> gradually put into practical use so-called smart tire, the tire is built with a computer chip, computer chip, or to connect with the carcass. It can automatically monitor and adjust the tire's driving temperature, air pressure and tire usage, greatly improving the safety factor of the tire.


At present, smart tires have gradually moved from the frontier technology into a practical process. Bridgestone, Goodyear, Michelin, Malay, Hankook and other international tire manufacturers have developed a variety of smart tire technologies and products.

China is not far behind in this respect. Fengshen Tire released a digital smart tire for all-steel construction machinery. Qingdao, Shandong Province, began to implement smart tires on buses.

Industry experts said that while smart tires are the future development trend, there is currently no standard for smart tires in China and the industry is actively addressing related issues.

Run-flat tires entered the popular stage
<br> <br> run-flat tire of new things from years ago, entered the "homes of ordinary people."

It is understood that exquisite, Wan Li, Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Hankook, Jia Tong and other tire manufacturers have introduced their own tires.


Not long ago, Dunlop's run-flat tires were successfully equipped with Infiniti, and Hankook's run-flat tires were successful with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

According to industry analysts, gas-free tires have been popularized for their unique performance, but they have also been criticized by some owners for their noise and comfort.

Tire labeling to promote green development <br> <br> the EU "tire labeling law" gave Chinese tire enterprises alike, just as the face of US "double reverse" the same.

It is reported that China has already implemented the green tire self-discipline standard, and it is expected that by 2017, the green tire mandatory classification labeling law will be formally implemented, and all tires will be labelled similar to the refrigerator energy efficiency label.

The full implementation of tire labels at home and abroad will force domestic tire companies to accelerate the production and distribution of green tires.

However, analysts believe that green tires are still in the stage of product introduction in China. Many consumers and even companies have a serious lack of awareness. They still regard it as a fashion concept and do not really attach importance to it.

Really popular, green tires still have a long way to go.

China Aviation Technology Breakthrough tire
<br> <br> aviation tires for many years has been monopolized by foreign tire giant, now this pattern is being broken. Chinese companies frequently make efforts in aviation tire technology, raw materials, production, sales channels and other aspects.


In June of last year, Sen Qilin was officially awarded the Airworthiness Certificate by the Civil Aviation Administration of China and became the first private enterprise to master aviation tire manufacturing technology. At that time, he expected to produce 10,000 civil aviation tires in 2015.

Not long ago, the natural rubber material developed by Hainan Rubber successfully manufactured military aviation tires, which broke the long-term reliance on imports by China Aviation.

China National Chemical Industry Group Shuguang Rubber Industrial Research & Design Institute Co., Ltd. integrates traditional channels and network marketing and formally introduces e-commerce in the field of aviation tires.

According to expert analysis, in the current crisis facing the industry, the development of aviation tires can help domestic rubber and tire companies expand their product areas, increase their technological content and added value, and increase their competitiveness.

New tire material continues to emerge

For many years, tire companies have never stopped looking for natural rubber alternatives.

With the continuous emergence of new materials such as dandelion rubber, eucommia rubber, and silver chrysanthemum rubber, major tire companies such as Michelin, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Pirelli, and Delicate have joined the ranks of research and development of new materials.

Not long ago, China's first self-developed dandelion rubber continuous dynamic countercurrent integrated extraction line was completed in the exquisite tire construction work, and dandelion rubber entered the stage of large-scale extraction.

In addition, China's first 100-ton continuous natural eucommia gum production facility was recently put into operation in Hunan Xiangxi Laosheng Biological Co., Ltd.

Relevant industry sources reminded that while exploring new materials, it is necessary to avoid the situation in which industries like the large amount of investment in Eucommia gum have fallen into a development dilemma.

Tire Industrial automation into a wave <br> <br> Today, automation, intelligent tire giant is no longer a foreign patents, Mori unicorn, Double Star, Triangle, Linglong, the second choice, double the money, Aeolus, Wan Li and other Chinese companies are Tire production automation and intelligent attempts have already begun.

Senlin Kirin's Thai factory built the world's tire industry with the highest level of automation and intelligence; Aeolus Tire radial tire production achieved full coverage of automated production lines.

In addition, Delta has built a fully digital "smart factory"; Qingdao Doublestar is about to start the 4.0 plant, will also build green tires intelligent production base as a goal.

Industry experts stated that the automation of tire production can lead to technological innovation, process innovation, and management innovation through the upgrading of equipment, and change the traditional development model that used to rely on low-cost labor.

Self-repairing tires matures
<br> <br> self-repair of the tire is the latest technological achievements: addition of a carbon / nitrogen compounds in rubber tires, the destruction of the rubber polymer chains to repair. In this way, after a few hours of puncture, the tire can be completely self-repaired.

At present, companies such as Michelin, Hankook, Germany, and Sumitomo Rubber have all launched tire products with self-repairing capabilities.

In a German place named Bad Kreuznach, Michelin is investing heavily in building large-scale plants and expanding the production capacity of self-repairing tires. The self-healing tires developed by horse brands, Hankook, and other companies have successfully matched Volkswagen.

People in the industry believe that self-repairing tires will not be adopted on too many models in the short term, because prices are difficult for ordinary consumers to accept, and it will take quite a while to enter the popularization stage.

Non-pneumatic tire sought <br> <br> since 2005 Michelin launched the world's first non-pneumatic tire since the tire type widely sought after.

According to statistics, in recent years, the number of non-pneumatic tire patent applications has rapidly increased, and more and more companies are involved in this area, including tire manufacturers such as Michelin, Hankook, Bridgestone, Mapac, and Yokohama.


This shows that the industry has gradually increased its degree of emphasis, and the scale of R&D and investment is also growing. In contrast, Chinese tire companies also pay insufficient attention in this regard.

Analysts believe that non-pneumatic tires are not impeccable. Because the supporting structure is exposed, if the inside of the tire enters a foreign object, the supporting structure may be easily damaged. In addition, non-inflated tires cannot withstand heavier loads and higher speeds.

Tire test base continues to increase

As a high-performance tire for outdoor testing must have "standard", tire test field has become an important means of new tire applications, new product development, but also reflects a country's production and development of tires one of the important signs.

The construction of a number of bases such as the Yancheng Automobile Testing Ground of China Automobile Industry Center, Shandong Zibo BV (Fuyu) Tire Inspection Base, Linglong Group Central Asian Tire Testing Ground, and the racing wheel Jinyu Saiyah Tire Testing Ground are filling China's lack of tire testing sites. Whitespace.

However, some people in the industry are concerned that whether or not these tire testing grounds can reach relevant technical levels after completion of the tire test sites and whether the test results can be recognized by the international market remains to be verified.

During the period of “twelveth five-year plan ” for the acceleration of biased tires, the radialization rate of Chinese tires gradually increased from 85% to 90%, and biased tires were eliminated at an accelerated rate.

As the largest tire manufacturing province in China, Shandong Province has explicitly stated in the "Implementation Plan for the Transformation and Upgrading of the Tire Industry" that it will expedite the elimination of slack tire production capacity. By the end of 2020, it will eliminate 20 million sets of related production capacity.

Not long ago, Shuangqin Group shut down its production facilities for bias tires of its subordinate Donghai tires, and it will not resume. Previously, some companies in China successively or partially eliminated biased tires.

According to industry sources, the market will become smaller and smaller in the future, except for certain areas such as agricultural and forestry machinery tires, industrial vehicle tires, and special vehicle tires.
