With our Baer-Cut machine, we create efficiency and many advantages for hauliers and fleet managers who have commercial vehicles in use. By continuing to use existing tyres, our customers save money. At the same time, this is sustainable and ensures a better environmental balance.
The formula for calculating the CO₂ value is as follows:
Acceptance:
Additional mileage of a tyre due to regrooving 50,000km
Fuel saving with 4 regrooved tyres 2l/100km -> saving 0.5l/100km per tyre
Tyres last 25% longer
Fixed value:
2,662 kg CO₂/l Diesel
Average tyre weight 70 kg
1kg raw material tyres equals 1.21kg CO₂
Min. 18 kg CO₂ for the production of a tyre
1.) CO₂ savings due to lower fuel consumption
50.000km x 0,5l/100km x2,662 kg CO₂/l =665,5kg CO₂
2.) CO₂ savings due to the raw material not being required
70kg x 1,21 kg CO₂/kg x 25% = 21,2 kg CO₂
3.) CO₂ savings due to the energy saved for production
min. 18 kg CO₂
This results in => CO₂ savings per tyre = 705 kg CO₂ / tyre
By regrooving truck tyres, a CO₂ saving of approx. 1.1 kg CO₂/100km is achieved per tyre and the mileage of the tyre is increased by approx. 25%. (Source: Michelin).
An average good truck tyre usually has a service life of about 200,000km, whereas e.g. high-quality Michelin truck tyres can reach a maximum service life of up to 300,000km. (Source: Trucker.de and Logistra.de).
The manufacturing process of a car tyre, which weighs about 9 kg, produces about 18 kg of CO₂. This value will therefore be much higher for a truck tyre. (Source: Study Continental Life Cycle Assessment)
