Michelin inaugurated I-TireLab with French academic partners, backed by about €4.5 million in investment over four years.
Research targets real-time tire wear and grip estimates using existing vehicle sensors to optimize braking and improve vehicle stability.
Manufacturing research aims to maintain consistent rubber quality while reducing raw material waste and energy consumption through simulation and control tools.
Planned applications include enhancing Michelin Touch Intelligence, the tire digital twin introduced in May 2026, which estimates tire conditions without additional sensors.
Flexible-composite research could improve Wisamo, an automated inflatable wingsail designed to reduce ships’ fuel consumption; its first sail is in delivery.
