I pneumatici Nokian Tyres sono i più veloci sul ghiaccio anche montati su una vettura elettrica: nuovo record del mondo di 252,09 km/h

NOKIA, Finlandia, March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Janne Laitinen, collaudatore di Nokian Tyres, ha raggiunto i 252,09 km/h (156.64 mph) a bordo della vettura elettrica E-RA, punta massima rilevata sul ghiaccio del lago Ukonjärvi ad Inari. Il record, ottenuto il 17 marzo dal produttore di pneumatici più nordico al mondo e dalla vettura high-tech E-RA (Elecrtic RaceAbout) della Metropolia, l'Università di Scienze Applicate di Helsinki, è unico nel suo genere.

Questa irriducibile sportiva, che monta un motore elettrico da 280-kW complessivi, ha toccato una velocità massima di oltre 260 km/h (161.59 mph) a temperature polari. L'aderenza costante e la stabilità di manovra necessarie a velocità estreme sono state assicurate dai pneumatici chiodati Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 (225/40R18), regolarmente in produzione.

- I test in condizioni difficili sono una parte essenziale dello sviluppo del nostro pneumatico invernale. Siamo certi che il raggiungimento di questo record e la collaborazione nel progetto E-RA siano delle ottime occasioni per acquisire nuova esperienza e continuare a progredire al culmine dello sviluppo. Si tratta di una vera fonte d'ispirazione per gli sviluppatori di pneumatici, le cui sfide principali consistono nell'ottimizzare le caratteristiche di sicurezza e la ridotta resistenza al rotolamento, che interessa molto la gamma delle vetture elettriche, afferma Matti Morri, Technical Customer Service Manager di Nokian Tyres.

Il test è stato condotto su una pista di sei chilometri nel rispetto delle regole dell'organizzazione Guinness World Record. Tuttavia, dato che non esiste ancora una categoria per questo tipo di record, l'organizzazione non è stata coinvolta nella certificazione del test e, pertanto, si tratta di un "Guinness World Record non ufficiale".

Il tempo necessario per percorrere il tratto di un chilometro e la velocità raggiunta sono stati misurati in entrambe le direzioni. Il record è una media di queste due misurazioni. La vettura deve partire a tutto gas e terminare il percorso entro l'intervallo di tempo consentito di un'ora. I pneumatici devono essere identici a quelli disponibili sul mercato e approvati per la circolazione su strada nel Paese in cui viene effettuato il tentativo di battere il record.

Il Guinness World Record ufficiale per la guida su ghiaccio è detenuto sempre da Nokian Tyres e dal collaudatore Janne Laitinen. Il record di velocità ottenuto sulla pista ghiacciata del Golfo di Bothnia nel marzo 2011 con una vettura a benzina è di 331,61 km/h (206.05 mph).

Oltrepassare i limiti accelera lo sviluppo

La vettura elettrica E-RA mette in evidenza le competenze degli studenti finlandesi e dei partner coinvolti nello sviluppo. La vettura è stata costruita da zero, utilizzando la più avanzata tecnologia in tema di motori a propulsione elettrica e sistemi di batterie. La vettura consuma un minimo di appena 14,5 kWh ogni 100 km, che corrispondono a 1,6 litri di carburante.

- Con l'esperimento del record abbiamo voluto dimostrare che la vettura elettrica è affidabile sia a temperature gelide, sia ad alte velocità su piste ghiacciate e sdrucciolevoli. Il superamento di queste barriere consente uno sviluppo tecnologico più rapido che, in definitiva, va a tutto vantaggio dei consumatori, ha dichiarato Sami Ruotsalainen, leader del team E-RA.

Nokian Tyres ha sviluppato il primo pneumatico al mondo per le gelide temperature invernali nel 1934. Due anni dopo, è nato il Nokian Hakkapeliitta, specifico per l'inverno nordico e attualmente uno dei marchi di pneumatici invernali più celebri al mondo. L'azienda è l'unico produttore di pneumatici al mondo che concentra le proprie attività su prodotti e servizi in grado di migliorare la sicurezza dei trasporti alle temperature nordiche.
