In the current industrial vehicle market, forklift users make up the majority of customers. Their requirements for tire products are constantly increasing. They are no longer satisfied with tires that just have a long service life and low wear and tear. Instead, they pay more attention to energy efficiency. Therefore, the development of low-energy-consumption tires will undoubtedly improve the market competitiveness of forklift tires.

The actual rolling resistance of the tire is the biggest factor affecting the vehicle's energy consumption. If the rolling resistance of the tire can be effectively reduced, a tire product with lower energy consumption will be obtained.

There are two main ways to reduce the rolling resistance of tires:

1，Tire Tread：  Under the same tread compound system, reducing the number of circumferential tread grooves can reduce the frequency of tire-ground friction to some extent, thereby reducing the rolling resistance of the tire.

2，Tire Compound： Using a large amount of white carbon black in the tire compound can reduce the compression fatigue temperature rise of the rubber material, effectively reducing the internal energy loss of the tire. This allows more power from the vehicle to be transmitted to the road, reducing the overall energy consumption of the tire and lowering the rolling resistance by 30% to 35%.

Reasonable tread design, coupled with low-heat-generating tire compounds, can achieve a lower rolling resistance for tires. Additionally, partially or completely replacing carbon black with white carbon black in the tire compound can not only reduce tire rolling resistance and save energy, but also improve performance in puncture resistance, anti-skid, anti-chipping, and anti-slip. Such a tire product design performs better than ordinary products.

So, if you're a forklift user looking for tires with low rolling resistance and high performance, you may want to consider this research.
