In the new energy vehicles closer and closer today, Michelin on the "future" of the plan is how it? What kind of new energy vehicles in the "clean green tire"? Recently, in Berlin, Germany, managing partner of Michelin Group's total career He received the visit from Chinese journalists. His answer is: to reduce rolling resistance, "we are not yet fully on the new cars on the tires of energy to do an assessment. But one thing is certain, the number of rolling resistance is critical to this indicator. Rolling resistance of vehicle of two aspects: one is to use less power to drive the vehicle, on the other hand is the same power under the tire for better sports performance. "

    He said this year's Michelin Challenge Bibendum showed a high narrow tires, that is, electric cars and other specific research and development of new energy vehicles, this is very low rolling resistance tires, can effectively improve the electric vehicle battery mileage. In addition, He said the future of the Founding of the tires of new energy vehicles requirements also include "weight reduction", that is lightweight tire can effectively reduce energy consumption for new energy vehicles. Currently, Michelin has begun development of effective application of new materials and new technologies, the concept of products currently available are also lightweight. "Michelin goal of every product design is always safe to transport as many passengers or goods, extend product life to travel farther, while minimizing the consumption of raw materials." He concluded the case.

    Next few years, Michelin will invest 1.6 billion euros into China, India and other emerging markets, and were in China, India, Brazil to build three new factories. Among them, the new plant in Shenyang, China investment will total 1.4 billion euros.

    He Ye said that the future investment in China is mainly used for environmental protection in Shenyang factory relocation of the project, "We hope to re-use of this relocation project to build a new factory, production trucks, buses and passenger car tires. Shenyang plant project will last three years to complete. "Michelin Shenyang factory in the future is undoubtedly important for the development of China, the cost of investment in China over the past few years the amount of the sum of the expansion, the new plant capacity will reach 15 million.

    In addition, He said Michelin is on career and Shanghai Huayi Group, Double Coin Group's initial contact, planned in the future to conduct a joint venture. As the project is still in the preliminary stage, He Ye said more information is temporarily unavailable.

    He said Michelin is currently very satisfied with the development in China, Michelin will increase in China's development, the main goal now is to solve China's production capacity and continue to strengthen after-sales service at the same time, Michelin has no R & D centers in China, intends to establish. Michelin has been in Japan now has a research and development center, is responsible for tire research and development in Asia.
