Good spot CT ; seems to me 2D materials could provide the eco solutions to meet the increased demands new gen EV's place upon tyres. Surely, using plastics to improve strength is a busted flush, given the general and air pollution problems they cause, giving rise to environmental and health concerns. Hopefully the 2D materials moment is arriving ! Aimo. Best ellis

Wonder when we will find out just what caused NR's last nights ebullient Twitter mood. Can't be all down to energy drinks and caffeine....

tea leaf reading
a twit to nr about how the tweeter is not worried about the share price drop and nr's silence bec there is usually a sharp rise after nr is quiet
nr response 'i am VERY quiet at the mo'
my emphasis

Just taking the pee out of some of the exuberance on here I would guess, no need to be nasty 1crackupboom 🌞

Let's hope Walshy loses a lot of money today.

Press Release 2018-09-19

Continental and MAN pre­sent de­sign tire specif­i­cally for elec­tric trucks at IAA Com­mer­cial Ve­hi­cles 2018


Conti e.MotionPro study, mounted on the MAN CitE, acts as a starting point for the development of tires for electric commercial vehicles
The new MAN CitE for use in cities is one of the highlights at MAN’s trade fair stand
Tires for electric commercial vehicles have different requirements, especially with regard to mileage optimisation and rolling resistance


Hanover, 19 September 2018. At the 67th International Motor Show (IAA) Commercial Vehicles in Hanover, which started today, the technology company and premium tire manufacturer Continental presented at its press conference the design tire Conti e.MotionPro, which was developed for the electric truck from MAN, the MAN CitE. Continental’s tire study combines a striking blue stripe on the sidewall with a hand-carved profile and blue groove bottoms on the tread. It fits perfectly into the modern design of the new MAN CitE.

Continental’s experts drafted and implemented the design of the Conti e.MotionPro based on the layout coordinated with MAN. During the production of the green tire at the plant in Púchov (Slovakia), the sidewall shell was manufactured by hand and “pulse blue” paint applied to the sidewall while the tire was heated. The custom-made profile was then created in a laborious robotic cutting process and refined by experienced tire carvers in Stöcken, Hanover. At the same time, small rubber parts were pasted into the grooves by hand. Continental is one of the few tire manufacturers that can manually produce individual designs in small quantities.

The MAN CitE is characterized by its ergonomic design with low entry, a consistently flatdriver’s cab floor and easy accessibility. In addition, the low seating position, large glass surfaces and supporting cameras give the driver and front passenger a clear view of the surrounding traffic. The brand new electric truck concept, which was developed in just 18 months, sets standards in terms of workplace ergonomics, safety and sustainability in urban delivery traffic.

Klaus Kreipe, Head of Original Equipment Truck Tires at Continental, explains the challenges in tire development: “Electric vehicles can temporarily be fitted with conventional tires. However, the new powertrains and the new vehicle concepts that are sometimes associated with them will change the requirements for commercial vehicle tires. We are currently making use of partnerships to gain valuable experience for the development of tires for electric trucks and buses.” Together with commercial vehicle manufacturers and municipal bus companies, Continental wants to develop tires with cutting-edge technologies for the start of production of electric vehicles, Kreipe announced.

Optimising the vehicles’ range requires low energy consumption, i.e. optimum rolling resistance. New vehicle concepts can also mean changed center of gravity position, wheel loads and torques, and thus present potential challenges for the load capacity or wear resistance of the tires, for example. Increased load capacity or tractive power can also result in expanded requirements. Continental would like to develop and produce tires specifically for this. Especially with regard to optimized rolling resistance, the tire producer has many years of experience with - tires with reduced fuel consumption and a leading position among the competition.

The Conti e.MotionPro design tire can be seen at IAA Commercial Vehicles on the new electric truck for use in the city, the MAN CitE, which was likewise presented for the first time today. The vehicle and tires are located at the stand of the commercial vehicle manufacturer MAN in Hall 12. The tire is also on display at Continental’s stand, A06/B11, in Hall 17.

It seems to me that Lwalshy92 is a troll. Beware.

[squire007] 19/9/2018 23:57

Agree no rns .... till Friday that is ;-)

[haz101] 19/9/2018 23:12

Best wishes with your investment trophy man

[haz101] 19/9/2018 23:11

The plot thickens

[owenga] 19/9/2018 23:06

No bootie, as in no rns tomorrow..

[turbocharge] 19/9/2018 22:57

Nothing like a good nights sleep, please turn the lights off.

[bootie64] 19/9/2018 22:45

LW,"no need for an early night tonight" as in referring to a different time zone?

[bootie64] 19/9/2018 22:42

Welcome to exciting times TTM

[wuzy] 19/9/2018 22:38

Just making a statement, let's not get 2 excited!!!

[lwalshy92] 19/9/2018 22:34

No need as in no need to worry about the share price, since the morning rns will cause it to double or maybe even triple instantly. Just lay on in bed and let the cash roll in.

[diversification] 19/9/2018 22:32

LWashy92

‘No need’ as in, no point getting up early as there won’t be an RNS.

What am I missing here?

[lwalshy92] 19/9/2018 22:30

Twitter very busy, this must mean new collabs and orders will be coming in the morning, just like when Twitter was quiet last month. Happy days

[bootie64] 19/9/2018 22:30

Extremely wuzy, seems the team have surfaced :)

[lwalshy92] 19/9/2018 22:28

Omg Neill Ricketts twitter states there is no need for an early night tonight. This absolutely 100% must mean there will be an rns in the morning involving China which will cause a huge increase in the share price. Happy to have topped up 50,000 shares last week @190, MMs made it show as a sell though. Goodnight millionaires.

[wuzy] 19/9/2018 22:27

Twitters busy.!!!!
