The advent of electric vehicles is forcing tire manufacturers to produce specific products. When Tires ApolloThe company has just announced a new Vredestein Quatrac Pro EV. This is the first all-season tire for electric vehicles from Apollo Tires in Europe. Marketing is scheduled for the month of December. The company also shared the first details of its new product. More details, including available performance and measures, will be available at the time of commercial launch.
Apollo Tires says their new tire was designed for electric vehicles greater autonomy and a higher level of grip and traction in all conditions, even in the presence of ice and snow. For this, new innovative materials were used.
For example, optimized fourth generation polymer blend. In addition, “smart” silica is present in the tread, which optimizes grip on wet surfaces and at the same time reduces rolling resistance. The new electric vehicle tire has a range of design features for battery-powered vehicles, such as longitudinal grooves with much steeper sidewalls designed to handle higher cornering loads, and a wider outer shoulder than the inner shoulder, designed to resist deformation and improve handling in dry and wet conditions.
The Vredestein Quatrac Pro EV is designed to generate less CO2helping to reduce environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle. The company says it has compared its new product to well-known Vredestein all-season tires.
Computer simulations by Apollo Tires and a road test program have confirmed that the new EV tire delivers higher levels of grip and longer range due to lower rolling resistance and lighter construction, as well as lower environmental impact and is quieter. and offers a more comfortable ride and shorter braking distances.
The new tire will be produced at Apollo Tires’ two European plants at Enschede in the Netherlands and Gyöngyöszalas in Hungary.
