More fleets are transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs), making driving range and charging critical considerations. However, tyres are increasingly the most expensive maintenance item for EV fleet operators. Tyres impact overall energy- efficiency, so choosing the right tyres can save substantial costs.
EVs Need Better Tyres
ENSO is a tyre technology company that makes better tyres for EVs, to extend EV range and reduce tyre pollution. The world needs EVs to be successful, as they help to combat climate change and eliminate harmful tailpipe pollution. However, EVs, like all vehicles, still run on tyres that wear down and release microscopic tyre pollution. Globally, tyres emit over six million tons of tyre pollution each year. Tyre pollution is a major contributor to microplastic pollution, is toxic to aquatic environments and creates invisible air pollution in cities. ENSO, recently recognised by Prince William as an Earthshot Prize finalist, aims to future-proof the tyre industry by addressing this environmental impact.
Tyre pollution is a growing issue with EVs. Their higher weight, instant torque, and predominantly urban driving all lead to faster tyre wear, increasing fleet maintenance costs, especially for high-mileage operators. To save costs and prevent tyre pollution from worsening, ENSO believes it's crucial that we start making better tyres, specifically for EVs.
