Wednesday, December 14, 2011 Goodyear's Air Maintenance Technology Named “Most Promising Future Technology”
 Goodyear’s Air Maintenance Technology (AMT) has been selected by Car & Driver magazine as one of “ten most promising future technologies” in its 2012 10 Best edition. AMT will enable tires to remain inflated at the optimum pressure without the need for any external pumps or electronics.
All components of the AMT system, including the miniaturized pump, will be fully contained within the tire. “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,” said Jean-Claude Kihn, Goodyear’s chief technical officer.
AMT is currently under development at Goodyear’s Innovation Centers in Akron, Ohio, and Colmar-Berg, Luxembourg.
