A choice motivated by a historic collaboration between the two partners and Michelin’s capacity to explore new fields of innovation and thus contribute to the ambitious goals Air France has set for itself in terms of sustainable development: reducing its CO₂ emissions per passenger-kilometer by 50% by 2030. Michelin, committed to sustainable aviation While the MICHELIN aircraft tires with NZG technology already allow for significantly reducing CO₂ emissions, Michelin is investing in multiple European research programs, seeking breakthrough technologies to continue lightening its tires and the associated systems, with a view to mechanically reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions on every flight. Did you know ? ___________________________ The use of an NZG tire compared to an old-generation tire allows for gaining an average of 20 kg per tire and more, i.e., a total gain of 85 to 150 kg depending on the aircraft type. Consequently, this may represent a reduction in CO2 emissions of 9 to 16 kg per hour of flight time. The reduction is therefore extremely high with regard to the number of daily flights.
