Latest news on fitments, testing and related innovations from the global tire industry:

Enso is supplying tires for Hived’s electric vehicles, under a three-month trial announced 20 Oct by the two London-based startups. With a London-wide EV parcel delivery network serving brands such as ASOS and Zara, Hived aims to cut emissions per delivery by up to 76%. Enso claims its tire technology reduces tire particulate emissions by 35%. The trial, said Enso, is the first real-world test of its latest generation of tires. Enso has also been involved in trials of its tires fitted on Royal Mail electric vans in London (ERJ report). Under a deal signed in 27 Feb, Algerian tire maker IRIS is manufacturing EV tires for ENSO at its Sétif, Algeria plant, under a “long-term partnership” between the companies.
