UPTIS stands for Unique Puncture-proof Tire System. UPTIS’s airless technology makes its impervious to flats and blowouts. Uptis is an assembled airless wheel structure technology made accessible to passenger vehicles, which offers many advantages :
- Car drivers feel safe and secure on the road since the dangers of flat tires and blowouts are eliminated.
- Fleet owners and professional vehicle drivers optimize their business productivity (no downtime from flats, near-zero levels of maintenance).
- Raw material is reduced, which in turn reduces waste.
General Motors, a major global Original Equipment Manufacturer and valued partner to Michelin, has signed a joint research agreement as a co-development partner, with the breakthrough goal of making UPTIS a mainstream reality on passenger vehicles as early as 2024.
