Could Flat Tyres Soon Be a Thing of the Past?
For over a century, pneumatic tyres those familiar black rubber rings filled with air have been a fundamental part of automotive engineering. But as vehicle technology rapidly evolves, so too does the way we think about one of the most essential parts of a car: the tyre. From electric vehicles to autonomous fleets, today's mobility needs are putting unprecedented demands on traditional tyre design. And now, a bold new concept is gaining traction: airless tyres. What Are Airless Tyres and How Do They Work? Airless tyres, also known as non-pneumatic tyres (NPTs), do away with the traditional need for air pressure to support the vehicle. Instead, they use high-strength materials like plastic spokes, advanced polymers, and reinforced rubber to create...
