Potential for Energy Savings by Maintaining Correct Tyre Pressure

Trobradović, Mirsad / Blažević, Almir / Hadžiabdić, Vahidin / Bibić, Dževad / Pikula, Boran

Reducing overall energy consumption and the negative impact on the environment is one of the basic directions in the development of modern society. For this reason, modern vehicles must be as efficient as possible. Even a small increase in the efficiency of an individual vehicle leads to a large overall reduction in energy consumption. Energy loses inevitably occurs when a vehicle is moving. One of these loses is rolling resistance which occurs due to elastic deformations of the rolling tyre. Many factors affect rolling resistance, most notably vehicle speed, tyre load and tyre pressure. In general, decrease of tyre pressure leads to an increase in rolling resistance, and energy consumption. Therefore, maintaining optimal tyre pressure is vital. But a large number of drivers do not pay enough attention to this fact and so there are a significant number of vehicles with tyres with less pressure than prescribed. Influence of tyre pressure on rolling resistance, and influence of under-inflated tyre on energy consumption was investigated in this paper. Rolling resistance energy consumption for one passenger car for different driving cycles was calculated. The potential for energy savings by maintaining the correct value of tyre pressure is pointed out.
