Tannus at Smart City Expo: The Future of Sustainable Mobility

November 5-7, Tannus was a guest for another year at the Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC), the world's most important and influential event on the future of the urban innovation and sustainable mobility. In this framework of innovation and sustainability, where the innovations that will improve our cities of the future are presented, Tannus shines in the field of sustainable and efficient mobility.

Today we tell you how it went from Tannus for the Smart City Expo World Congress and what technology will improve our cities for the future with a more sustainable and intelligent mobility..

Tannus Tires' role in sustainable mobility

In the cities of the future, it is necessary to reduce the environmental impact, especially in transportation. Tannus anti-puncture tires are a perfect solution: efficiency and sustainability. Tannus tires are much more than a technological breakthrough to avoid punctures: they are a statement of intent towards more efficient, safer and more environmentally friendly mobility. That's why, Tannus is already present in today's smart cities and at the forefront of tomorrow's sustainable urban mobility.The company's new tire puncture-proof tires are not only a practical solution, but also a key element in building the cities of the future with more efficient and sustainable mobility. ecofriendly.

1. Puncture protection technology: a paradigm shift

The traditional tires are associated with constant maintenance. And puncture problems lead to rubber waste and increased tire consumption - and therefore tire manufacturing - that ends up polluting the environment. Tannus Tires uses Aithera globally patented advanced material that completely eliminates the risk of punctures.. This not only reduces the operating costs of repair and consumption for individual users and urban fleets (bike-sharing systems), but also reduces the costs of repair and consumption. bikesharings), but also minimizes the production of unnecessary waste.

Increased durability, less waste

One tire Tannus can last up to three times longer than a conventional tireemissions, thus reducing the need for production and its consequent pollution. The fewer production cycles, the less CO₂ emissions, aligning with the global objectives of sustainability and circular economy, moving away from the spiral of constant consumption.

3. Commitment to efficiency in urban mobility

Tannus Tires are puncture-proof tires for bicycles, a key means of transport in sustainable urban mobility. At a time when the use of bicycles and sustainable vehicles is more necessary than ever, Tannus offers a solution that guarantees a smooth and seamless driving experience, while being more environmentally friendly.

Smart cities of the future: TANNUS with the world's most innovative urban technology

The 2024 edition of SCEWC was a showcase for the world's most innovative solutions. A place where some of the most futuristic and transgressive ideas that will transform our cities in the coming years were presented.

Intelligent and autonomous vehicles: the future of smart urban mobility

With regard to urban mobility, there were a multitude of novelties but, undoubtedly, the options for intelligent electric and automated transport without the need for drivers stand out. The following were presented 100% electric city buses with remote control and obstacle detection, no driver requiredThe system is equipped with intelligent bus stops that indicate the exact position of the vehicle and passenger occupancy in real time.

But there were more transgressive proposals, even more if possible, such as a fully autonomous VTOL type passenger transport aircraftwithout any kind of pilot and in a totally safe way. A proposal presented by the company China Chang that directly evokes futuristic scenarios.

Reducing environmental impact: a common denominator of the event

But, undoubtedly, the big theme of the event, and one that encompasses most of the projects involved and presented, is to reduce environmental impact and ensure a greener and cleaner future. From the Netherlands, the presentation was "The Great bubble Barrier"The system uses bubbles to divert floating debris in rivers and canals to collection areas. This innovative method prevents tons of plastic and garbage from reaching the ocean, thus protecting marine ecosystems.

The Italian company Wiwell surprised with a plastic film that, by means of a photocatalysis process, purifies the air by removing particulate pollutants and viruses. This solution, designed to be integrated into urban infrastructures such as canopies or facades, could mark a before and after in the fight against air pollution in cities. What is clear is that the future lies in minimizing our polluting waste, something that experts in the field analyze by means of KPIs and multiple parameters that were presented at the fair.

Intelligent cameras: prevention and security

The use of smart cameras was another trend at the Smart City World Congress. A common and expanded incorporation in several projects in favor of road safety. Axis Communications goes a step further and presented a camera system with artificial intelligence capable of detecting flooding in rivers and tunnels. These cameras not only warn of possible floods, but also allow preventive action to avoid major disasters. In a context where climate change is intensifying torrential rains, this technology is key to ensuring the resilience of cities.

International presence: a global event

One of the highlights of the SCEWC 2024 was its ability to bring together representatives from more than 140 countries. This level of participation reflects the urgency and importance of sharing global ideas and solutions to address urban challenges.

Cities around the world face common problems: congestion, pollution, road safety and accessibility.. However, solutions cannot always be the same. Therefore, international collaboration is essential to adapt innovations to the specific needs of each region. During the event, delegations from Asia, Europe, Latin America and Africa shared their experiences and projects, enriching the global debate.

Tannus, next to the world's largest technology for smart cities

The concept of smart mobility encompasses solutions that optimize transportation, improve quality of life and reduce the environmental impact in cities. From groundbreaking ideas with the latest technology to practical solutions. Tannus tires demonstrate how the technology and functionality can go hand in hand with sustainability to solve real problemswhich can already be seen in many cities around the world, such as with the Bicing Barcelona or Bicimad of Madrid, the two main bikesharings of Spain that already use Tannus Tires.

And not only in Spain, but also in France, Brazil and Saudi Arabia have already made this commitment to Tannus and the sustainable transport of the future in an attempt to combat the main current urban problems: congestion, pollution, road insecurity and accessibility. For this reason, Tannus is already a reality in today's cities and a solution to several key issues for tomorrow's smart cities.
