French\u00a0tyre<\/a>\u00a0major\u00a0Michelin<\/a>\u00a0along with\u00a0General Motors<\/a>\u00a0have unveiled an\u00a0airless tyre<\/a>\u00a0prototype for passenger vehicles, which could hit the markets as early as 2024.<\/p>\n

According to the firms, the Uptis Prototype is airless and thus eliminates the risk of flat\u00a0tyres<\/a>\u00a0and blowouts.<\/p>\n

As part of the pact, the companies intend to validate the Uptis Prototype with the goal of introducing it on passenger models as early as 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cUptis demonstrates that Michelin\u2019s vision for a future of sustainable mobility is clearly an achievable dream,\u201d Michelin Group CEO Florent Menegaux said.<\/p>\n

General Motors senior vice-president, global purchasing and supply chain Steve Kiefer said Uptis is an ideal fit for propelling the automotive industry into the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great example of how our customers benefit when we collaborate and innovate with our supplier partners,\u201d he added.<\/p>

Michelin and GM are testing tyre beginning with vehicles like the\u00a0Chevrolet Bolt<\/a>\u00a0EV.<\/p>\n

Later this year, the companies will initiate real-world testing of Uptis on a test fleet of Bolt EV vehicles in Michigan.<\/p>\n

Uptis features various improvements in architecture and composite materials, which enables it to bear the car\u2019s weight at road-going speeds.<\/p>\n

These innovations combine to eliminate compressed air to support the vehicle\u2019s load, and result in environmental savings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
