How quickly is the European electric car tyre market growing?

Premium, Product News, UK News

The rise of electric vehicles, continuing to set a good pace of growth in UK and European markets despite the difficulties facing new car sales over the last 18 months, is one of the central pillars of mobility’s dominant megatrend, sustainability.

At the same time numbers remain relatively small in comparison to the level of interest they generate, though the growth is impressive.
