Everyone will use it in the future! What is a zero emission tire?

The electric car trend is gradually increasing. However, many components of our vehicles are changing in terms of production, material types and shape. Next up are zero emission tires. Because with the transition to electric cars, the parts that emit the most particles are tires. So what are zero emission tires? What are they useful for? Here are the details…

The future is coming now! What is a zero emission tire?

First of all, we need to congratulate ourselves. Because the industrial movements that started with the industrial revolution were polluting our environment to a great extent. Unfiltered chimneys, carcinogenic substances mixed into drinking water because waste facilities are not built, and more. In short, for a while the world became uninhabitable due to environmental pollution.

However, the process continued with the “clean air law” enacted in 1970. Yes, we still live in a dirty world today, but our garbage production has reached a level very close to our recycling amount. This is proof that we will have a cleaner environment with developing technologies over time. Among those that cause the most damage to air pollution are undoubtedly cars with internal combustion engines.

However, we do not know whether it is right to blame the cars precisely because they have internal combustion engines, because cars are seriously considered “machines that changed the world”. Here, with the developing technologies, particle filters, different fuel types, engine additives, etc. We tried to take many precautions.

However, if we want to achieve truly zero emissions, it is very important to switch to electric cars. We haven’t fully transitioned to electric cars. However, we can say that we have largely started the trend. Of course, another issue arises with this. Zero emission tires.

With the transition to electric cars, the rate of microplastics, in short particles, released into nature has decreased significantly. This reduction brought us closer to zero emissions. However, the rubber-plastic based fossil fuel products we use in our cars are actually huge particle monsters. For this reason, zero-emission tires started to be produced.

Enso was one of the brands that pioneered this issue in the world. Its founder, Gunnlaugur Erlendsson, carried out a meticulous study on this issue and achieved results. Enso company implemented the 10 percent rolling resistance as promised. This decrease in resistance allowed electric cars to increase their range and to remove 35 percent fewer particles.

Next, founder Gunnlaugur Erlendsson touched on the subject of 6PPD. The substance called 6PPD is a substance that prevents rubber materials from changing form and being damaged in situations such as hot, cold, pressure and pressure. However, it has great harm to the environment and human health. Founder Erlendsson stated that they have done the necessary work on this issue and that 6PPD will not be needed in production, but this project cannot be disclosed at the moment due to confidentiality agreements.

So what do you think about zero emission tires?
