Yokohama Turns to Orange Oil Tech for Tires
Yokohama seems to have finally decided to join the eco-friendly bandwagon and this time around, they are making use “orange oil technology,” a process that uses the environmentally friendly Super Nano-Power Rubber™.
The product’s production process utilizes a new compound that requires about 20 percent less synthetic rubber, which reduces the amount of petroleum necessary in the manufacturing process.
Tires using the same orange oil technology will be available to U.S. consumers this summer, in the dB Super E-spec™, a tire that was researched and tested on the race track.
