It is understood that after several decades of development, China's tire industry has formed a relatively complete industrial system. The annual output of automobile tires has exceeded 200 million, making it the second largest tire producer after the United States. In recent years, with the rapid development of the automotive industry, the growth rate of the tire industry has attracted worldwide attention. From 2000 to 2004, the total tire production has increased at a rate of more than 10%, and the average growth rate of radial tires is even higher. More than 30%. However, China's tire industry still has insufficient product structure, and it is still mainly biased tires, and the radialization rate is only close to 50%. It is understood that radial tires are 5% to 7% more oil than biased tires, making them safer, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly.
According to reports, in the next five years, China's car radial tires will be transformed. Specifically, the flattening tendency of radial tires has been accelerated, the high-speed performance of radial tires has been improved, and radial tires with different functions have been developed; heavy-duty tires have gradually evolved from medium to heavy, medium, and light varieties, including tubeless, The development of wide-base tires adopts high-strength skeleton materials to achieve lightweight tires, reduce tire rolling resistance and fuel economy, and improve the refurbishment rate of radial truck tires. At the same time, engineering radial tires have appeared and the pace of development has accelerated.
Industry insiders believe that domestic tire companies should increase investment in science and technology, constantly update tire manufacturing technology, strengthen basic theoretical research, strengthen product testing and experimental research, and establish an automated production line with independent intellectual property rights. At present, with the increase in domestic tire production and For the increase of tire test testing and the importance of original innovation, the urgency of building a tire testing site becomes more and more significant.
On December 19th, the reporter learned from the 50th Anniversary of the Beijing Rubber Industry Research and Design Institute and the Rubber Industry Development Forum that in the next five years, the tire industry in China will continue to grow rapidly. By 2010, the annual output of tires will be 300 million yuan. Among them, 210 million radial tires, 70% radialization rate and 90 million bias tires, accounting for 30%, and safety, energy saving and environmental protection will be the main theme of the tire industry's future development.
