  1. New Technologies- Tires - Paul Johnston Michelin North America Greenville, SC

  2. New Technology - Tires • What is accelerating the adoption of New Technologies? • Fuel Costs • Freight Efficiencies • Environmental Concerns • Regulatory & Legislative Landscape

  3. New Generation Wide Base Single (NGWBS)

  4. It is tirereplacing duals

  5. Moving from 18 10 Wheels on the Ground 18 wheels 10 wheels

  6. Super Single vs NGWBS New Generation Wide Base Single 445/50R22.5 Traditional “Super Single” 425/65R22.5

  7. How do the footprints compare? NGWBS 445/50R22.5 Duals 275/80R22.5 Traditional “Super Single” 445/65R22.5

  8. What Benefits does the NGWBS provide? • Cost Reduction • Improved fuel efficiency, approximately 4% - 10% • Freight Efficiencies • Greater payload, savings of 175 – 200 lbs / axle • Fewer trucks on the road • Ease of maintenance • Reduced Carbon Footprint • Better fuel mileage (lower Rolling Resistance)….. …….fewer Greenhouse Gas emissions …resulting in a more competitive Transport Industry!

  9. Fuel Savings

  10. Where Does Your Fuel Go? At 60 mph, aerodynamic drag consumesapproximately 40% of the fuel. Aerodynamic Drag Mechanical losses consume approximately25% of the fuel. Mechanical Losses Rolling resistance accounts forapproximately 35% of the fuel consumed. Rolling Resistance

  11. What does a Department of Energy (DOE) Study show? Improvements in Fuel Economy with Various Combinations of Tires on Class 8 Tractor Trailers Benefit using only wide singles 9.2% => approx $1.1m fuel savings for a Fleet of 175 power units ($6,539 per tractor) Benefit vs duals only Fact #537: September 22, 2008 NGWBS on Class 8 Tractor Trailers Improves Fuel Economy by 9.2% Oak Ridge Lab; 750,000 real-world miles; 1 year test

  12. Freight Efficiencies

  13. How does the NGWBS TireAllow for Greater Payload?

  14. DUALS NGWBS(Aluminum Wheels) (Aluminum Wheels) Tire/Wheel x Qty. Tire/Wheel x Qty. Steer 170 x 2 = 340 160 x 2 = 320 Drive 175 x 8 = 1,400 248 x 4 = 992 Trailer 149 x 8 = 1,192 229 x 4 = 916 Total 2,932 lbs. vs 2,228 lbs. DUALS NGWBS(Steel Wheels) (Aluminum Wheels) Tire/Wheel x Qty. Tire/Wheel x Qty. Steer 195 x 2 = 390 160 x 2 = 320 Drive 200 x 8 = 1,600 248 x 4 = 992 Trailer 174 x 8 = 1,392 229 x 4 = 916 Total 3,382 lbs. vs 2,228 lbs. 704 Pounds Savings 1,154 Pounds Savings How the NGWBS TireSaves 175+ lbs per Axle WEIGHT SAVINGS EXAMPLES Efficiencies gained: an extra 100 – 165 gallons fuel for bulk hauler…. Reference Duals – G305 Fuel Max, G372, G316 Fuel Max X Ones – XZA3, XOne XDA, XOne XTA

  15. Environmental Impact

  16. Dual Tire 12 Gal How the New Generation Wide Base Tire Saves Oil Dual Tire 12 Gal Wide Base 15 Gal

  17. SmartWay EPA Bulletin: Single Wide Tires

  18. MICHELIN®X One®Tires Since its introduction in 2000, MICHELIN® X One® tires have helped save • 63 million gallons of fuel, and • 639,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions • the equivalent of removing 127,800 cars from the road

  19. Regulatory & Legislative Environment

  20. INDUSTRY NEWS • Legislative Changes • Energy Independence & Security Act 2007 • CARB impact • Clean Air Act • 2010 Presidential directive for Fuel Efficiency & GHG standards

  21. EPA / NHTSA Joint NPRMGHG Emissions & FE Standards Medium and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles • EPA GHG emissionsstandards • Implementation MY 2014 • NHTSA fuel efficiencystandards • Implementation • MY 2014  voluntarycompliancewithcreditsavailable. • MY 2016  mandatorycompliance to “average“.

  22. Each standard will be assigned a CO2 emission target Figures are for illustration only EXAMPLE: Raised Roof Sleeper w/Trailer 2010 Baseline = 100 gCO2/ton-mile Below are the ONLY credit options to meet Standards : 7 gCO2/ton-mile Aerodynamicfeatures with lower Cd NGWBS impact 5 gCO2/ton-mile Low RR tires (lower drive and steer Crr) 5 gCO2/ton-mile Idle reduction timer (shuts down after 5 min) Reduced weight (wide single tires) 3 gCO2/ton-mile New 2014 standard target = 80 gCO2/ton-mile Note: Default engine to be used; Engine per OEM measured separately source: Volvo Mack 2010 ATA Panel

  23. What does Industry want? …. uniformity & harmonization….

  24. Industry Standards & Government Regulations U.S. States - NGWBS LCV Oversize/Overweight Permitted Operations Only(GVW > 36,364 kg / 80,000 lbs) • US permit-issued operation (O/S, O/W, LCV) • “... each axle (non-steering) must have 4 tires ...” • South Dakota, New York, • “... two tires at each end of each axle ...” • Kansas, • “... minimum axle width ...” • California • Limitation of 500 lpi (pounds per inch tire width) • Montana, Nevada, S.Dakota, Washington, Utah (500 lbs LCV) (Modified 6/13/11 – SL)

  25. Industry Standards & Government Regulations U.S. States - NGWBS LCV Oversize/Overweight Permitted Operations Only(GVW > 36,364 kg / 80,000 lbs) Alaska DC Hawaii Forms of State restrictions CA - specific minimum axle width TX - 2 axle 35’ – 45’ bus LA - rear axles of waste disposal trucks (Modified 6/13/11 – SL)
