FRANKFURT-Group Michelin and Robert Bosch GmbH are creating a strategic partnership to develop dynamic systems for vehicles that will couple tire and electronic vehicle control technologies to produce vehicle mobility systems and improved braking performance.
The partnership involves no cash exchange and will capitalize on Michelin's tire and suspension expertise and Bosch's electronics and braking systems competence, the partners announced at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show. One goal of the partnership is to develop a vehicle mobility system using Michelin's PAX run-flat tire/wheel system and Bosch's electronic stability program and/or brake-by-wire systems.
