In five days, the European premiere stands for the Michelin Uptis (stands for Unique Puncture-proof Tire System). On the 10. September 2019 will be at exactly 10: 30 on the clock New Mobility World The near-series concept tire without air was presented to the masses at the 68th IAA in Frankfurt am Main. It combines an unprecedented puncture protection with the usual driving characteristics of a modern car tire. The Uptis has been in practical use for a long time, but Michelin is only now planning to make its first attempts on public roads. However, another 5 years can pass before the Michelin Uptis is launched. And another highlight on the Michelin Look & Feel stand in Hall 5.0 at Stand C37 will be the study presented in 2017 Vision Concept his.

Michelin has achieved the so far unique wheel-tire combination of the Uptis with a firmly connected unit made of aluminum, composite materials and rubber tread. The Uptis comes with a light aluminum rim that is inseparably connected to the profiled running surface with flexible plastic spokes. The excellent load-bearing capacity of the robust spokes has a vibration-damping effect when driving and is the outstanding feature of the Uptis. The tire works completely without air pressure and is therefore much more puncture-proof than a normal car tire. With this variant, mobility and reliability increase to a level never seen before. The Uptis is at least as resilient as a normal pneumatic tire. However, due to the technologies and highly elastic materials used, it is much more resistant to severe impact or stab wounds. And the Michelin Uptis already meets the requirements of tomorrow's road traffic. In other words, it can be used in the autonomous, electric and networked vehicles of the future if desired.
