August 2008. The German brand Tire has cooperated with a number of universities on numerous projects involving basic research and specific product development projects. These projects not only benefit both partners, but also benefit ordinary drivers. In terms of universities, the capital investment of enterprises has improved the conditions for scientific research and created more job opportunities for doctoral students. In the market, the results of basic research and product development have greatly benefited the industry, such as the production of higher road adhesion or Longer driving mileage of high-performance tires, thereby improving the driving conditions of ordinary drivers. At present, the German horse tires headquartered in Hanover have cooperated with many famous universities in Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Sweden and Slovakia.
The R&D department of the German brand tires has carried out a series of cooperation projects with a number of universities; its cooperating universities in Germany are mainly distributed in Karlsruhe, Göttingen, Hannover and Dresden. The industrial sector and the research department have carried out a number of cooperation projects. For example, at Hanover University in Leibnitz, Germany, research has been conducted to improve tire grip on ice and snow, and new metal oxides have been used to increase tire life. The tire/road noise simulators developed in Hanover and Gothenburg can even further reduce the potential sources of traffic noise before the first and the first finished tires are released. In addition, experts in Dresden are studying ways to improve the tire vulcanization process, while research in Göttingen is a new type of polymer. The test of winter tyre performance on icy and snowy roads can be carried out on the roller test bench at the University of Karlsruhe all year round, simulating real road conditions and optionally adjusting the temperature. Wear testing equipment is also about to introduce new types of testing.
After explaining the nature of the cooperation, Dr. Thomas Becherer, the project manager, pointed out that "the tire cooperation projects are very beneficial to the university and to us. The company's financial support ensures that the university can carry out more attractive projects. This kind of corporate financing It is more and more important now that the contracts signed by companies and universities have also increased the status of the corresponding research institutions within the university, which has enabled more than 1,200 R&D personnel of the German horse brand R&D department to jump hands and carry out other projects. A lot of time.†Cooperation also includes doctoral dissertations, academic lectures, and numerous other projects.
In addition to research results, two-way exchanges between professionals and university research institutions will also have positive significance. "This cooperation has inspired new inspirations for our work, and although it is sometimes not immediately available, it will certainly bring success in the future," Dr. Becherer said. The flow of people with the university is also significant for both parties. For example, German horse tires have recruited many young employees through cooperative projects. On the other hand, some of the company's employees have also turned from the industrial field to the scientific research field. In response, Becherer said, “Of course, it is a pity to see our colleagues return to school for research work. However, we still maintain contact. For example, we have a colleague at the University of Karlsruhe to conduct research at the university. He has participated in several projects with Malaysian brand tires, and now he and his doctoral students work together with us.In fact, cooperation is not limited to the academic field. This colleague has stepped out of a brand new research institute and industrial company. Cooperation model: Continental Group plans projects according to needs and provides them to postgraduate students in the form of research projects; graduate students conduct theoretical studies in conjunction with the relevant requirements of enterprise project management. Experience shows that such courses are always full every year, and the final results are amazing.â€
Continental AG has a long tradition of tire cooperation research with universities. The cooperation project began as early as the 1980s. The subject research conducted by both parties has now become a standard cooperation model. Dr. Becherer stated that they are willing to continue to promote such cooperation.
