ENSO electric vehicle tire technology reduces pollution and extends EV range

ENSO develops advanced tire technology for electric vehicles (EVs), with tires designed to reduce energy consumption, extend driving range and lower costs.

The Problem of Tire Pollution

Traditional tires wear out over time and produce microparticles that cause air pollution.

This problem is worse in EVs because they are heavier and have more torque than conventional cars.

Research has shown that tires contribute more to air pollution than exhausts do and make up 28% of primary microplastics found in oceans globally.

ENSO’s Innovative Tires for Electric Vehicles

ENSO manufactures high-performance tires using eco-friendly materials and state-of-the-art designs aimed at saving energy that EVs can use on one battery charge.

Founded in 2016 by Donat Raffai and Gunnlaugur Erlendsson, ENSO has been named a Future Innovator by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and is one of the major supporters of UN sustainable development goals.

These tires provide better safety standards while increasing driving range and reducing overall costs for urban transit systems.

ENSO has received B-Corporation certification and other sustainability awards.

Media Recognition and Expansion

ENSO has been featured in Forbes and Reuters, highlighting the importance of efficient, low-pollution tires for the mass adoption of EVs.

The company is expanding with the intention of leading the way towards cleaner urban mobility worldwide.

Reducing EV Energy Use and Tire Pollution

ENSO seeks to increase EV mileage and curtail tire pollution.

The company employs sophisticated materials and construction techniques to support these aims.
