Continental tires specially developed for electric vehicles arrive at Volvo, which confirms their "recharge" name.They reach the "A" classification by being all season.
Volvo will gradually equip its electric tires electric vehicles.Starting with the XC40 recharging, the only one for the moment at Volvo, the Scandinavian brand will deploy a gum called "Recharge".His particuliarity ?Being a all seasons, classified as in terms of energy efficiency.
A first according to Volvo which is part of a manufacturer highlighting sustainable development, including tires.On paper, Volvo announces a gain in energy consumption of up to 8 %, while increasing the autonomy compared to real winter tires, with a tender and more catchy gum.
Volvo is advancing other arguments: "Using a single tire set throughout the year, the production of aluminum rims can be reduced which brings another advantage in terms of climate impact".However, it should be remembered that many motorists do not buy sheet metal rims and simply exchange tires at the start and at the end of winter!
The manufacturer does not specify with which manufacturer he collaborated to develop these tires, which will obviously not be manufactured by Volvo.But we know, however, that Volvo will be one of the first to adopt the continental tire with RFID chip in Europe.
