Industry exchanges new trends in tire technology development

From June 22 to 23, the 8th Global Tire Technology Forum (GTTF) hosted by China Rubber Industry Association was held in Xi'an, Shaanxi
.

Experts and scholars from tire upstream and downstream related enterprises, universities and industry associations such as tires, rubber, carbon black, additives, etc.
, have exchanges and discussions on automobiles and tires, tire design, intelligent equipment, and new rubber materials
.

Lei Changchun, vice president and secretary-general of China Rubber Industry Association, said that in recent years, China's tire industry has developed rapidly in technological innovation, informatization and intelligence, and breakthroughs have been continuously made in new materials, new processes, and new equipment
.
The total output of tires in 2020 is about 634 million, of which the radialization rate is over 94%

Xu Shuliang, a senior tire expert from the Tire Expert Group of the China Rubber Industry Association, believes that tire performance design is closely related to vehicles.
As the vehicle speed increases, it becomes more and more complicated, and a variety of tire design properties are gradually increased, such as handling stability, noise, vibration, and humidity.
slide, deviation adjustment, working conditions and more wear, grip and so on
.
With technological progress, the limit speed of vehicles continues to increase, which affects almost all tire design functions, and gradually focuses on comprehensive performance such as handling stability, safety, comfort, high-speed durability, etc.

Zhu Hong, deputy secretary-general of the China Rubber Industry Association and director of the Technical and Economic Committee, pointed out that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China’s tire industry has made outstanding achievements in technological innovation, structural optimization, green development, intelligent manufacturing, energy conservation and environmental protection, and internationalization.
The output increased from 565 million to 634 million, continuing to remain the number one in the world.
The industrial concentration continued to increase, but the company's operating income and profits fell sharply
.
She suggested that focusing on technological innovation, intensify the combination of production, education and research, strengthen independent innovation in basic research on new materials, design concepts, new processes, and new equipment, and achieve industry-leading levels through digitization, intelligence, platformization, greening, and standardization.
