The Yokohama Rubber has developed a concept tyre in its fuel-efficient BluEarth brand for Maruti Suzuki India’s new concept electric vehicle (EV), the Concept FUTURO-e. The new tyre was displayed together with the Concept FUTURO-e at the Maruti India Suzuki booth at Auto Expo 2020.
The body design of the Concept FUTURO-e is a fusion of coupe and SUV styles. Designed to be an SUV that will appeal to India’s young people who desire powerful and exciting vehicle designs, the Concept FUTURO-e represents Maruti Suzuki’s view of the next-generation in automobile styling.
Accordingly, Yokohama Rubber developed a concept tyre exclusively for the Concept FUTURO-e based on the concept of “a tyre featuring a powerful and stylish design for the new generation of urban SUVs”. By combining the large lug grooves typical of powerful SUVs with rib grooves associated with more stylish and smooth-running vehicles, Yokohama Rubber has created a design suitable for a new generation of urban SUVs.
