Truck tyre developments and their effect on natural rubber consumption
1997
Cain, M. E. | Watson, Philip J.
In 1995 some 240 million truck tyres (radial, bias and cross-ply) were produced, of which about 38%, or 90 million tyres, were those referred to as heavy commercial vehicle (HCV), with remainder being light commercial vehicle (LCV) tyres. The elastomer content of HCV tyres is about 70%-90% natural rubber and for LCV tyres is about 65% natural rubber. The paper analyses these statistics and elastomer contents in relation to the importance of truck tyres as major end-uses of natural rubber. The factors influencing the future use of natural rubber in truck tyres are examined, and some predictions of future demand are made. The possible influence of this major end-use on the natural rubber price is considered.
