| Goodyear’s air maintenance technology wins award Posted: 08 Oct 2012 06:00 AM PDT POPULAR Mechanics magazine named The Goodyear Tyre & Rubber Company as a 2012 Breakthrough Award winner for their Air Maintenance Technology (AMT). The Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Awards, now in their eighth year, recognise the innovators and products that have dramatically advanced the fields of technology, medicine, space exploration, automotive design, environmental engineering and more. Goodyear and other winners was honoured at an invitation-only conference and gala awards ceremony in New York City recently, and in the November issue of Popular Mechanics, available on newsstands on Oct 16. "We are honoured to be named as one of Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Award winners for 2012," stated Goodyear's chief technical officer Jean-Claude Kihn. "Our Air Maintenance Technology will enhance driving performance, while having a positive impact on the environment through improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and extended tyre life. This award highlights the innovative work of our engineers, as well as our efforts to bring a relevant product to market." Goodyear's Air Maintenance Technology will help ensure the optimum tire pressure is maintained and as a result could mean substantial savings at the fuel pump. According to government and industry research, underinflated tires result in between a 2.5% and 3.3% decrease in fuel economy. While the technology is complex, the idea behind the AMT system is relatively simple and powered by the tire itself as it rolls down the road. "We are once again excited to recognise this year's list of incredible honourees for their role in shaping the future," says James B. Meigs, editor-in-chief of Popular Mechanics. "From a featherweight metal to the world's fastest and most electrically efficient supercomputer, this year's winners embody the creative spirit that the Breakthrough Awards were founded upon." Past recipients of the Breakthrough Awards include James Cameron; genomics pioneer J. Craig Venter, efficiency expert Amory Lovins, inventor and FIRST Robotics founder Dean Kamen, and humanitarian engineer Amy Smith. A full list of winners can be found at www.popularmechanics.com/breakthroughawards. |
