Pirellis punkteringsfria Run Flat teknologi

 

Pirelli Run Flat: Perfekt tack vare robotarna.

Bilvärlden har länge letat efter och investerat pengar för att få fram ett däck som erbjuder hög prestanda och säkerhet även fast det helt förlorar sitt lufttryck. Mekanismer och patent har har alternerat varandra med några av de viktigaste tillverkarna involverade för att ta fram lösningar som inte hållit måttet.

Det punkteringsfria däcket Run Flat står emot. I självea verket gör däcket framsteg och tar en allt större marknadsandel. Pirelli har helhjärtat mött de mest extrema behov och prestanda hos bilen, allt sedan 1970-talet när vi utvecklade 17" Scorpion BK för den extrema bilen Lamborghini LM002 för off road. I dag har denna teknologi optimerats bit för bit, hela tiden med ett öga riktat mot SUV och lätta lastbilar av den extremare typen, där Pirelli jobbar hårt med originalmontering på ett globalt plan.

This Hi-Tech Total Mobility solution is also made possible thanks to the MIRS™ robotised system; an absolutely exclusive Pirelli production process which is entrusted entirely to computers - but always under final manual control - and the resultant guarantee of maximum perfection and reliability. One of the tyre types produced by MIRS™ , in which Pirelli is making significant investment in Europe and the United States, is the Run Flat , which is manufactured exclusively using this system.
Pirelli Self-Supporting Run Flat tyres have  perfect structural continuity, which the world market is now demanding in an increasing variety of sizes with different characteristics, to facilitate the inexorable evolution of technical requirements for vehicles of increasing weight and greater speed. It is no coincidence that demand for Run Flat in both original equipment and replacement markets in Europe and North America increased by almost 7,000% between 2000 and 2004. Pirelli has responded by achieving a European market share close to 20%, particularly with tyres resultant of the constant technological refinement in both the product and the production process, utilising new concept, stronger reinforcing materials. In recent years, the increase in the number of homologations in 16" to 18" sizes has been such that it has created a basis for entry into the Run Flat UHP segment of 19" and 20" diameters and 30% and 35% aspect ratios. Pirelli 's current portfolio includes Summer, All-Season and Winter Self-Supporting Run Flat tyres. The company has also prepared the first Self-Supporting Run Flat for SUV's, to be marketed in the near future.
