Meet The Winner

Michelin – Tyres Containing RCB

Michelin has approved tyres with large volumes of rCB for road traffic in Europe. This is a result of multiple racing tyre developments such as use in Moto-e and at Le Mans 24h race and others. The demand from the tyre industry for rCB will enable capacity building that will in turn help the industry to reach sustainability and circularity targets.
