A
unique series
For the first time, Michelin presents the first two volumes of its series
called « The Tyre ».
This series, developed
in close collaboration with the experts working in the Technological Centres,
puts into form Michelin's tyre expertise. It is mainly aimed at constructors,
road professionals, academics and the press. These key players are the
most likely to contribute to public awareness of the importance of tyres
for safety, for the conservation of the environment and for the economy.
This work will also further Michelin's ambition to
become the reference with respect to technical communications in the
field of tyres. Each volume deals with one or two performances
of a tyre. Volumes 1 and 2, respectively, discuss grip and mechanical
and acoustic comfort. They convey the efforts in Research and Development
carried out by Michelin in the field of safety and for a better respect
of the environment.
The topic of the next volume,
which should be published in early 2003, will be rolling resistance
and its consequences on fuel consumption and on emissions of pollutants.
This theme represents a major challenge for tyre manufacturers who
have to respond to growing demands with regard to the environment.
A
wealth of information that can be used by the great majority of people
Information is set up in
a way that allows either a cover to cover reading or the possibility to
read each chapter independently of the others. It
is therefore possible at any time to go from one chapter to the other
without losing the general understanding of the topic discussed.
Each volume is presented in the same way. Several
levels of reading allow to meet the various expectations of the users
–from the most general queries to the highly technical. The
text, within the reach of everyone and illustrated by many diagrams and
pictures, is completed by columns called « A little more information
on... ». These columns, relying on physics demonstrations, are more
specifically geared toward a population who requires more technical information.
Inserts
that bring together cross-disciplinary information add to the topic.
Finally, a column called "Don't forget the basics"
summarises the various points discussed in the chapter. To
make this series even more attractive and practical for the users,
Michelin has compiled all the information contained in each volume onto
a CD Rom, along with all the graphs and pictures illustrating the theme.
A unique wealth of information, put together by experts,
is now available for those who have a special interest in tyres.
This series aims at providing a better understanding
of the high technology of tyres and their essential role in terms of
safety for the user.
