In order to reduce the environmental footprint of a tyre, and managing the essential performance of the tyre, a method is needed to take into account the transfer of impacts. Michelin presents the life cycle assessment method that allow then to determine the key levers to effectively reduce the global tyre footprint. Results are presented for a internal combustion engine but also battery electric vehicles. Key levers are discussed by order of magnitude and Michelin global approach is presented for the usage part, the design part but also the other levers happening during manufacturing, logistics and end-of-life.
Life cycle assessment to identify key levers in order to decrease tire environmental footprint.
