Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming the automotive landscape, influencing everything from raw materials to tire design. Heavier batteries and higher torque mean that tire reinforcement must evolve. The Steel Cord Market is adapting to these challenges by producing stronger and more fatigue-resistant cords.

Tires for EVs require greater durability and lower rolling resistance to enhance battery life and efficiency. As a result, manufacturers are turning to high-tensile steel cords with improved adhesion and reduced weight. Suppliers are also optimizing wire diameter, coatings, and twisting techniques to meet the changing demands of EV tire producers.

The transition to electric mobility also places pressure on sustainability. Manufacturers are integrating eco-friendly production practices, including recycling steel and minimizing energy use during processing. Innovation in coating materials that avoid environmentally harmful metals like copper is gaining traction.
