Dunlop announces alternate fuel source motorsport partnership
It is Dunlop’s 125th birthday and its 125 years of competitive tyre manufacturing is being viewed by the brand as an opportunity to look forward to future motorsport developments designed for sustainability. Dunlop Motorsport director, James Bailey told visitors at the recent 24hr Dubai race at which the manufacturer was the exclusive tyre supplier on how the company has recently shifted part of its focus to supporting fuel efficiencies and alternative sources of energy both on the race track and on the road.
“Motorsport has not stood still for over 100 years, and it will not stop today”, says Jean-Felix Bazelin, general manager of Dunlop Motorsport. “Neither will the development of new car technology, for both track and road – and the era of fuel efficiency and alternate fuel sources is a big trend these days. As we see an increasing number of alternate fuel races, cars and initiatives take place on the race track, Dunlop is also taking great leaps forward with new technology to meet new standards.” Bailey announced an addition to the company’s hybrid, electric and alternate fuel car technological development: a tyre supply deal with GreenGT H2, the first hydrogen fuel cell Le Mans car, due to compete for the first time at Le Mans in 2013. Dunlop said this meant it was effectively embarking on a specific tyre development programme for future generations of electric and hydrogen powered race cars.
