Tyre centre will enable ‘a transformational leap in tyre technology’
As of January 2013, US-based vehicle manufacturer General Motors will partner with the National Tire Research Center on projects to improve fuel economy, including through optimising rolling resistance. The new facility, to which GM contributed US$5 million, uses state-of-the-art tyre performance machinery that will enable automotive and tyre manufacturers to replicate real-world emergency events and improve vehicle highway safety.
