System avtopidkachuvannya tires – one of the major achievements of the year

Technology automatic maintenance of tire pressure, developed by Goodyear, highly valued automotive media.

According to authoritative American magazine Car & Driver included it in ten major inventions of the year. The design AMT (Air Maintenance Technology) – Standalone device that does not require auxiliary electronics and an external pump. Mini pump and other parts of the system are located directly in the bus, which through the automatic paging system can independently maintain the required internal pressure.

"Despite the fact that the technology AMT technically very complicated, it is relatively simple idea and originated the concept of the structure of the tire in the movement – said Jean-Claude Kean, CTO Goodyear. – To maintain a constant level of air pressure in the tire – that's what they want water. "

In Goodyear did not specify exactly when the new system avtopidkachuvannya tires may appear in retailers. But, as previously reported, it is known that the project will be carried out rapidly through grants received from the government by the United States and Luxembourg.
