Ngemva kwesikhathi esingangonyaka sikhulume nawe mayelana ne-Tweel (isondo le-Michelin elivimbela ukubhoboza isondo inkampani yaseFrance esivele ilidayisela ama-UTV), namuhla sikulethela i-Uptis, imbobo yakamuva yesondo elingangenwa isondo. uhlobo oludumile lwe-Bibendum.
Njenge-Tweel, i-Uptis (igama layo elimele i-Unique Puncture-proof Tire System) ayivikelekile kuphela ekubhobhozweni kodwa nasekuqhumeni.

Esisekelweni sokuthuthukiswa kwaleli thayi umsebenzi owawusuvele unikeze i-Tweel, ne-Uptis ehlanganisa "isakhiwo esiyingqayizivele esihlanganisa ingxenye yenjoloba, i-aluminium kanye ne-resin, kanye nobuchwepheshe obuphezulu (okungacacisiwe)" okuvumela lokhu ukuthi, ngesikhathi esifanayo, kube lula kakhulu futhi kumelane.
I-Uptis ibuye izuzise imvelo
Enqubweni yokuthuthukiswa kwe-Uptis, u-Michelin ubala ku-GM njengozakwethu. Ngenxa yalokhu, isondo le-innovative selivele livivinywa kwamanye ama-Chevrolet Bolt EVs, futhi, ekupheleni konyaka, ukuhlolwa kokuqala emgwaqweni ovulekile kufanele kuqale ngemikhumbi ye-Bolt EVs efakwe i-Uptis, ejikeleza esifundeni esisenyakatho. .-American from Michigan.
Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Ukunyathela kwe-Uptis kuyafana nalokho kwesondo elivamile.
Umgomo wazo zombili izinkampani ukuthi i-Uptis ingatholakala ezimotweni zabagibeli ekuqaleni kuka-2024. Ngaphezu kwezinzuzo zokunganamatheli noma ukuqhuma, uMichelin ukholelwa ukuthi i-Uptis ingasiza ekunciphiseni ukungcoliswa kwemvelo njengoba ithi okwamanje "ngaphezu kwamasondo ayizigidi ezingu-250. emhlabeni” ziyasakazwa.
