Snow Chain-Integrated Tire Technology: Revolutionizing Winter Driving

Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation have been working on a new innovative technology to improve safety and ease of driving in winter weather conditions. The technology, called “snow chain-integrated tire technology,” is designed to eliminate the need for traditional snow chains while providing improved traction and stability on snowy roads.

The new design includes snow chains integrated into the tires themselves, which can be activated by an electric current that reverts the shape memory alloy to its original profile, forming a ‘J’ shape for better grip. However, further development, durability, and performance tests are needed before this product can be released to the consumer market.

This new design is expected to revolutionize winter driving by providing a convenient and efficient solution to the challenges posed by snow and ice on the roads. With this technology, drivers can enjoy improved traction and safety without the hassle of traditional snow chains. Keep an eye out for the release of this innovative technology in the near future.
