Goodyear featuring new technologies at Geneva auto show
Wednesday, March 7, 2012

Geneva, Switzerland - Goodyear Tire & Rubber will be featuring new technologies at the 82nd Geneva International Motor Show, which opens Thursday. New technologies on display include Goodyear’s Air Maintenance Technology (AMT), a self-inflating tire system that can help reduce fuel consumption. Visitors to the Geneva Motor Show will see how tires can remain inflated at the optimum pressure without the need for any external pumps, electronics or driver intervention. Additional new technologies on display include the company’s Electric Vehicle Tire Technology developed for CityHush, a European Union-sponsored project to reduce noise in cities throughout Europe. Goodyear will show how Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology is being taken from the race track to the road to make consumer and fleet tires more intelligent in the future, and Goodyear’s innovative Spring Tire – an airless tire designed originally for use on the moon. Another concept tire on display is made with BioIsoprene, a revolutionary bio-based alternative for petroleum-derived isoprene. -
