Over the last nine years, PlusAI has scaled into an industry leading virtual driver software player and has deployed autonomous driving technology across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, which has been used for more than five million miles of driving. Goodyear’s SightLine technology delivers real-time, s...

According to Hankook, the Vantra Transit tyre line combines innovative technologies with a robust construction. Its optimised tread design and wider tread reduce wear and increase mileage by up to 18 percent compared with its predecessor, while the innovative tread compound reduces rolling resistanc...

Hankook started the expansion of its European production plant in Rácalmás, Hungary. The building phase, which is scheduled for completion in 2027, will culminate in a new production line for truck and bus tyres at the site, with a capacity of up to 800,000 units per year.

As soon as the pressure drops below the set value, the system automatically tops it up. If too much air has been lost, SAF TIRE PILOT I.Q. sends a notification to the driver’s cab. With this system, SAF-HOLLAND prevents total tire failures, for example in the event of a puncture, and saves fuel.

A new sensor makes it possible to obtain data on the condition of the tires in a very timesaving, simple, and manufacturer-independent manner. This allows them to run optimally adjusted, which leads to greater fuel efficiency and a longer tire life.

Belonging to the brand-new line conceived for heavy electric vehicles, the e-SMART AU56 tyre on display at Solutrans 2023 is addressed to the bus sector. According to Guy S.
