Goodyear and the Luxembourg Institute of Science & Technology (LIST) announced significant research and development (R&D) investment focusing on sustainable mobility and next generation materials.
Goodyear has been at the forefront of tyre innovation for more than a century and is honoured to collaborate with LIST on this crucial R&D initiative to address ongoing societal challenges and further drive innovation in the field of future mobility.
Together with LIST, Goodyear engineers will focus on making tyres more environmentally friendly—in terms of materials, performance and the manufacturing process. This joint R&D initiative offers opportunities to create a better future by:
• advancing data science that allows Goodyear to improve its processes to deliver tyres of the highest quality and shorten product development cycles to better anticipate the evolving needs of OEM partners and end-consumers
• developing innovative lightweight materials to lower the rolling resistance of tyres with a positive impact on the environment and the consumer through lower emissions and greater fuel efficiency.
In the presence of Luxembourg's Deputy Prime Minister, Etienne Schneider, and Secretary of State of Higher Education and Research, Marc Hansen, LIST and Goodyear signed a framework agreement to cement their partnership.
