Michelin sharing tyre particulate research system with ETRMA members

Michelin reports that it is presenting a “new step forward with the development of a system for analysing small particles” as well as “the first research results to the scientific community and industry” during Tire Technology 2024. Details of this research were published in December 2022 and in March 2023. More recently, Michelin has made the system for analysing emitted light particles available to the tyre industry and to ETRMA (European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers’ Association). The ETRMA will furthermore conduct a campaign of measurements on a larger scale with the aid of an independent third party. The campaign will launch this year and will continue for around 18 months.
