Goodyear Tires: over a century of experiences
Exactly 180 years ago, in 1844, Charles Goodyear filed the patent that allows for the vulcanization of natural rubber, making it elastic and durable.

Read MoreFuel cell technology between limits and new application areas
Fuel cell technology has progressively lost its appeal in the automotive sector as a complex solution with major application limitations. However, research and applications continue in many industrial fields Fuel cells are a key technology in the transition to more sustainable energy sources than those of fossil origin. By converting chemical energy directly into electrical energy, with near-zero emissions and benefiting from a fuel that is more available than electrons for storage, fuel cell systems overcome the current operating limits of full-electric powertrains powered by batteries. This is why they…
