Australian researchers have come up with a breakthrough new technique of making concrete, using old car tyres. For all their importance to modern civilisation, tyres pose a big challenge when it comes to disposal at the end of their life, due to their durability, quantity, and material composition. But now, a team of engineers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University has taken concrete steps towards addressing this issue, ...

Hankook iON tyres are optimised to have reduced rolling resistance, lower noise, high durability, and better traction for electric vehicles. The wholesale switch from internal combustion to electric vehicles has been called the biggest change to the automobile indusry in its 130+ year history. But beyond the radically different production processes and the infrastructure required for use, what the average motorist experiences most is an EV's massive difference in weight, the ...

The best Eco tyres need to offer more than just low fuel consumption. That's why the team at Asia's Ultimate Tyre Awards (AUTA) pushed some hot favourites to the extreme - all in a bid to crown the ultimate Eco tyre. AUTA is Singapore's first-ever comprehensive and scientific tyre test which compares popular tyres to determine which are most useful to Singaporeans. That means testing the correct, localised-spec tyres for our ...

Pirelli’s newly developed tyres for electric cars are quieter, grippier, stronger, and more energy-efficient than conventional tyres. Just as there are different types of cars and trucks to suit different purposes, so too are there different tyres to suit these different vehicles. Although we’ve had a sneak peek at the best Eco tyres on the market during this year’s AUTA Tyre Test, there’s plenty of scope for them to be even ...
