New tires could generate powerPublished: Monday, March 9, 2015 Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has introduced a new tire concept that could generate electricity for electric cars. The company announced the "BHO3" tire at the Geneva auto show and said the tire "offers the possibility" of helping recharge batteries of electric cars by converting heat from the rolling tire into electric energy. Most electric cars have a range of 100 miles before they must be recharged. "These concept tires reimagine the role that tires may play in the future," said Joe Zekoski, senior vice president and chief technical officer at Goodyear. "We envision a future in which our products become more integrated with the vehicle and the consumer, more environmentally friendly and more versatile" (Terry Box,*Dallas Morning News* <http://bizbeatblog.dallasnews.com/2015/03/concept-tire-could-generate-electricity.html/>, March 6). *-- MH* _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
