Among them are the high costs associated with batteries, lower range, and charging infrastructure.

Delegates at the September meeting of the Vehicle Remarketing Association (VRA) were warned that the used Electric Vehicle (EV) market is in danger of “becoming skewed”. Andy Webb, head of sales from Brego, explained that fleet dominance of the EV market meant there were too many medium and large electric cars entering the remarketing cycle, and not enough smaller ones for everyday buyers.

Teenage racing sensation Louis Sharp has made motor racing history and further enhanced his credentials as one of the sport’s hottest prospects by winning this year’s GB3 Championship, the UK’s leading single-seater series. Although others, including Lando Norris, have won the F4 title and others including George Russell have won the GB3 title on their way to the top, no driver in the modern era has ever captured the sensational double in consecutive seasons.

Pirelli and the Motorcycle World Championship paddock visit the Motegi Mobility Resort, formerly known as Twin Ring Motegi, for the Japanese Grand Prix (4-6 October) in a rare novel challenge for the tyre supplier. While Pirelli has competed on some races in the domestic All Japan Road Race Championship, it has never raced with either the Moto2 and Moto3 classes or other major international competitions at the circuit, meaning it has little data to rely on. As a result, Pirelli has opted for the standard tyres from the Diablo Superbike range included in this year’s standard allocation, albeit in greater quantities for some compounds.

A construction firm with more than a century of history from Auburn, Massachusetts is supporting its future growth by fitting BKT’s versatile TR 461 OTR tyre. The move to fit RH White Construction’s machinery with BKT tyres, and a product combining traction and durability, was also made due to the competitive pricing of the Indian manufacturer’s tyres. “We have relied on BKT because it has met our need for quality tyres at a more competitive price than the ones we had been using previously. Savings have been significant, both in terms of cost and durability.” comments Ray Robichaud, heavy equipment manager, who has been with the company since 1979.

Continental Tyres’ training school, the ContiAcademy, recently ran a workshop on tyre safety and performance for officers from West Mercia Police. 13 delegates from the force completed a mix of theory-based and practical training at the Lutterworth facility, aiming to understand the safety-critical role tyres play in vehicles. Modules looked in depth at the fundamentals of tyre design, engineering and physics. Steve Howat, technical services general manager at Continental Tyres, called the force’s decision to work with the company to deliver this vital training as “an endorsement of our commitment and capabilities at the ContiAcademy.” The training comes ahead of October’s Tyre Safety Month, with both Conti and the force registered supporters of road safety organisation TyreSafe.

TyreSafe is calling for “immediate and comprehensive measures” to combat the escalating problem of killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties linked to tyre-related incidents on British roads. The latest Department for Transport “Reported Road Casualties Great Britain” annual report for 2023 shows a year-on-year increase of 29 per cent, from 147 in 2022 to 190 in 2023. This is the highest number of casualties due to tyre defects since 2018 and puts tyre-related casualties at a similar level to those related to mobile phones. TyreSafe’s latest Case for Action emphasises the urgent need for stronger action to address tyre safety. The safety organisation wants to increase awareness, seeks stricter enforcement of existing regulations, and the adoption of new safety standards.

German magazine Autozeitung has tested seven winter tyres and three all-season tyres, competing in the usual range of dry, wet and snow conditions. The test appears to confirm the quality of all-season tyres, with all three tyres receiving comparatively high overall marks and the coveted “Highly Recommended” grade. This result was mostly due to the all-season tyres’ consistently better performance in the dry. Conversely, on snow, the all-rounder tyres only lagged slightly behind the models specialised for the colder season, though Autozeitung adds that the performance gap between the two types of tyre in winter conditions increases as the temperature drops. Having tested the tyres on snow in temperatures between -10 and -15 Celsius, the magazine confirmed that the all-season tyres tested are “completely sufficient” for “normal requirements”, while recommending the specialist winter tyres “for maximum performance in tough, winter conditions”.
