Cishe u-20% wamathayi akhiqizwa minyaka yonke alahlwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi ngenxa yokubhoboza, ukulahlekelwa ingcindezi nokuguga okungavamile okubangelwa ukucindezela kwesondo okungalungile. Lokhu kulingana namathayi ayizigidi ezingu-200 alahliwe kanye nesisindo esidlula ese-Eiffel Tower eParis izikhathi ezingu-200. Njalo ngonyaka.
Egxile kule nkinga yokusimama, uMichelin wethule ngo-2019 i-UPTIS (I-Unique Puncture-Proof Tire System), i-prototype ngaleso sikhathi eyayivele inenkathi yokuthuthuka cishe iminyaka eyishumi futhi eyayivele ikhiqize i-Tweel.
Manje, futhi sekuseduze kakhulu nokwethulwa kwayo esidlangalaleni, isondo elingenamoya le-Michelin lihlolwe ku-MINI Cooper SE, “ngesandla” sika-YouTuber uMnu. JWW, oqophe konke okwenzeka kuvidiyo:
Njengoba uCyrille Roget, umqondisi wezokuxhumana kwezobuchwepheshe nesayensi eqenjini le-Michelin echaza, i-UPTIS ihlanganisa izikhulumi eziningi phakathi kokunyathela kwangaphandle nangaphakathi, okwenziwe ngerabha kanye nongqimba oluncane kodwa oluqinile lwe-fiberglass, lwaleli thaya. isisindo semoto. Ukuze kuvikelwe lokhu okusunguliwe, i-Michelin ibhalise amalungelo obunikazi angama-50.
Ngemva kwencazelo edlule, lapho uCyrille Roget aphinde acacisa ukuthi ku-UPTIS amarimu nesondo kuhlanganiswe ngokugcwele, kuhlanganiswe entanjeni yokukhiqiza amathayi, uMnu. JWW uthathe i-MINI kagesi emgwaqeni futhi wazizwela mathupha ukuthi lezi zimayelana nani. amathayi ayakwazi ukunikela.
Okwamanje, i-UPTIS iyisibonelo esisebenzayo, kodwa uMichelin usememezele kakade ukuthi unezinhlelo zokuyikhiqiza futhi ayenze itholakale emphakathini, into engenzeka ekuqaleni kuka-2024.
