Malunga ne-20% yamatayara akhiqizwa ngonyaka alahlwa phambi kwexesha ngenxa yokubhoboza, ukulahleka koxinzelelo kunye nokunxiba okungaqhelekanga okubangelwa luxinzelelo olungalunganga lwetayara. Oku kulingana namatayara azizigidi ezingama-200 alahlwayo kunye nobunzima obungaphezu kobo be-Eiffel Tower yaseParis izihlandlo ezingama-200. Qho ngonyaka.
Igxininise kule ngxaki yozinzo, iMichelin ibonise kwi-2019 i-UPTIS (Inkqubo ye-Puncture-Proof Tire System), iprototype eyayisele inexesha lophuhliso malunga neshumi leminyaka kwaye sele ivelise i-Tweel.
Ngoku, kwaye kukufutshane kunangaphambili ekusungulweni kwayo esidlangalaleni, ivili elingenamoya le-Michelin liye lavavanywa kwi-MINI Cooper SE, “ngesandla” sika-YouTuber uMnu. JWW, orekhode onke amava kwividiyo:
Njengoko uCyrille Roget, umlawuli wonxibelelwano lobuchwephesha kunye nesayensi kwiqela le-Michelin lichaza, i-UPTIS idibanisa ii-spokes ezininzi phakathi kwangaphandle kunye ne-internal tread, eyenziwe ngerabha kunye noluhlu oluncinci kodwa olunamandla kakhulu lwe-fiberglass, kule tayara. ubunzima bemoto. Ukukhusela oku kuqanjwa kwayo, iMichelin ibhalise iipatent ezingama-50.
Emva kwengcaciso yangaphambili, apho uCyrille Roget waphinda wacacisa ukuba kwi-UPTIS iirim kunye netayara zihlanganiswe ngokupheleleyo, zihlanganiswe kumgca wokuvelisa itayara, uMnu. amatayara ayakwazi ukunikela.
Okwangoku, i-UPTIS iyiprototype esebenzayo, kodwa i-Michelin sele ivakalise ukuba inezicwangciso zokuvelisa kwaye iyenze ifumaneke kuluntu, into enokuthi yenzeke ekuqaleni kwe-2024.
