## Transcript

Goodyear, one of the largest tire companies in the world, unveiled a concept tire during the Geneva International Motor Show, that has electric car companies drooling. Electric cars are slowly, but surely, invading the auto market, with brands like Tesla and Nissan leading the way to a less gas- dependant future. But, there is one problem that hasn't really been solved. The severe lack of places to fill up or charge up the fancy eco friendly electric car. If you have a Tesla for example, you would be wise to avoid long drives through Arkansas, Idaho, or east Texas. But imagine if you could be charging your vehicle while driving.

Goodyear's new concept tire, the BHO3 will supposedly be able to charge the batteries of electric cars by transforming the heat generated by the rolling tire into electrical energy. Good Year's senior VP said in a statement about the concept tire, we envision a future in which our products become more integrated with the vehicle and the consumer. More environmentally friendly and more versatile. But as great as this concept tire may be, that's all it is for now. Goodyear's been sure to emphasize that this will not be rolling out in the near future. Along with the VHO3, Goodyear unveiled another concept tire, the Triple Two, during the International Auto Show.

The Triple Two was designed to adjust inflation pressure in response to changing road conditions.
