INNOVATION
1895
The first car fitted with air-filled tires!!
The Michelin Brothers apply their know how from bicycle tires
to a car. They install the first air-filled tires on their race car
“Lightning”.
1913
The Removable Steel-Wheel (The Pre-Spare Tire)
Michelin introduces the idea of an emergency tire - a concept that
became standard in many vehicles.
1937
The Pilot® Tire
Michelin launches a tire for skilled drivers and high performance cars. It is positioned
lower to the ground and is a forerunner of the late twentieth century low profile tires.
1937
The Metallic tire
Its name says it all: in 1937, we used steel cable in the tire's structure. This will
eventually revolutionize the world of tires.
They just kept getting better
By focusing on finding new solutions
for your driving needs, our
technologies and
innovations have profoundly shaped
past and present tires

INNOVATION
125 years of improving
1946
The Radial tire
A different structure improving safety and fuel consumption. A
revolution that all tire makers will embrace.
1992
The Green Tire
Michelin integrates silica instead of carbon black, improving energy efficiency while
enhancing safety and increasing longevity.
2004
The Tweel® (“Tire” + “Wheel”)
This tire can’t explode or puncture: it’s not filled with air but with polymer
spokes.
R&D is in our DNA
Our first scientist was hired in 1893. Even then we knew
that Research and Development would be key to the
evolution of the modern tire.

2014
The EverGrip™ technology
This technology allows a tire to evolve as it is being used, performing even when it’s worn. A
“safe worn tire” that grips even on wet roads!*
* Safe refers to wet braking, wet handling and hydroplaning resistance when tires are new and worn to 5/32.
2012
The Communicating Tire
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips are embedded in tires to increase safety and efficiency.
Tested for the first time at the 2012 London Olympics.
2004
The Active Wheel (electric)
This wheel integrates an electric suspension system, electric traction engine and disk brake.
INNOVATION
125 years of improving
Our hubs are located on three continents and in seven
countries: China, Japan, Thailand, India, France, Brazil
and the United States.

SUSTAINABILITY
Passion, humanity, and responsibility
Beyond just making greener tires, all aspects of our company are measured to a global sustainability
plan.
Michelin is the first to pledge
zero deforestation

SUSTAINABILITY
Most rubber is still produced by
smallholders. It takes seven years
for a rubber tree to become
productive, and the output from
these new trees coincided with a
global recession.
Rubber is mainly grown in south-east Asia
Michelin became the first tire company to announce
plans to source deforestation-free rubber

SUSTAINABILITY
Michelin's tendencies to develop new, more
sustainable forms of mobility are embodied in all
the products and services it offers to its
customers.

OUR APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY
Clean energy
Our facilities are monitored and optimized to use less
energy.
Some of them use solar panels, wind power and local
alternative methods to get energy, preserving air quality.
Recycling
Used tires can be 100% recovered, either as energy
or raw material.
They are reused as filling material, soundproof walls, railroad ties,
drainage solutions and synthetic surfaces for sports fields and
playgrounds.
Currently, 95% of end-of-life tires are recovered in Europe and
97% in Brazil.

OUR APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY
Renewal of natural rubber
We have re-forestation program in place to ensure the sustainability
of rubber (Hevea) tree cultivation. We conduct biological and
agricultural research to improve the quality of natural rubber and
combat diseases in Hevea trees.
Biodiversity
More than 2,700 acres of our Bahia, Brazil rubber plantation have
been kept totally uncultivated to help protect the forest's flora and
fauna.

Programs to reduce the total weight of landfilled waste were pursued in 2011, when gross weight of waste generated per ton of tires
produced remained unchanged at 240 lbs. and the weight of landfilled waste declined to less than 22 lbs. per ton of tires. In all, since
2005, the weight of waste generated per ton of tires produced has been reduced by 22% to 240 lbs. from 308 lbs. and the weight of
landfilled waste has fallen by 72% to 20 lbs. from 73 lbs.
Waste
Over the 2005-2015 period, Michelin remains committed to reducing the weight of generated waste by 30% and of
landfilled waste by 95%.

VOC Emissions
Michelin has worked to eliminate VOC emissions by finding solutions to eliminate solvent, establishing best practices. The known
best practices within the company have been identified and used throughout all the zones, globally. In the United States, capture
and control of emission sources combined with destruction in boilers or stand-alone control equipment is required at most
Michelin plants and is regulated by both state and federal agencies. These requirements are in place to ensure levels of VOC
emissions are consistent with meeting local standards of air pollution. As Michelin moves toward the elimination of solvent and
minimizing VOC emissions from the facilities, these practices are in place, tracked, and reported on. Compliance with these
standards is a priority.

Michelin
“With the aid of 3D printers, it is possible to use just the right amount of rubber on the tire and thus extend its life
depending on needs, thereby ensuring mobility in all situations. The tread design is optimized and its depth is reduced in
order to reduce its thickness and make the tire more efficient in terms of materials. The tread design is adapted, in
accordance with the user’s mobility needs, with a triple concern for comfort, safety and sustainability.”
