39 Tyre requirements for new drive train concepts Market share drive train concepts % Conventional vehicles 15% Hybrid vehicles 8% Battery electric vehicles 2% CNG/ LPG driven vehicles Dr. Thomas Roscher Audi AG Tire Technology EXPO

40 Tyre requirements for new drive train concepts New drive train concepts increase the overall vehicle weight and tyre load requirements Internal combustion engine Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle Battery electric vehicle Cooling system Drive train Energy storage (fuel, 12V battery) Equipment Body Chassis Overall Cooling system Drive train Energy storage (fuel, batteries) Equipment Body Chassis Overall Cooling system Drive train Energy storage (batteries) Equipment Body Chassis Overall 100% Relative weight increase of new drive train concepts compared to traditional drive train Dr. Thomas Roscher Audi AG Tire Technology EXPO

41 Tyre requirements for new drive train concepts The increasing vehicle weight of hybrid or battery electric vehicles require higher tyre load index values This requires the use of XL tyres or even use larger tyres in order to carry the vehicle weight Larger tyres tend to increase the vehicle length, width and height The challenge is to solve the target conflict of the increasing vehicle weight when at the same time keep the existing tyre dimensions This is an effort that can only be solved by the close cooperation of OEMs, tyre manufacturers and norming agencies (ETRTO) Dr. Thomas Roscher Audi AG Tire Technology EXPO

42 Summary & Conclusion Tyre development is driven by customer demands, legislative and regional requirements Tyre variance has increased manifold over the last 15 years The increase in tyre requirements and variances has made tyre development much more complex In order to fulfil the higher performance requirements in shorter development times, the development process needs to evolve to an even more efficient process: New technologies are needed Existing standards need to be reviewed Requirement definitions need to be refined already in an early development phase Advanced and efficient testing and evaluation methods need to be applied These challenges can only be mastered, in close cooperation with each other!
