The present invention discloses a type of secure and efficient wheel assembly using fluid or solid stuffing materials so as to minimize the blowout risks, a wheel rim transmission assembly, an energy exchanging arrangement used in transporting system, and a vehicle energy storage system, as well as corresponding methods for manufacturing and preparing such assemblies and arrangements in applications.

A self-healing pneumatic tire, which uses the sealant stored in the tire to fix a leak, is disclosed.

A self-healing pneumatic tire, which uses the sealant stored in the tire to fix a leak, is disclosed.

A tire and membrane system includes a tire, an electronics package, and a membrane body attached to the electronics package. A width of the membrane body is less than 120% of a width of a tread of the tire. A length of the membrane body is less than 50% of a circumference of the tire. A bottom surface of the membrane body is configured to lie flat against an inner surface of the tire. The membrane body is not attached to the tire.

A dual, internal, pneumatic, boltless beadlock assembly for effectively securing a tire to a rim is disclosed. A pneumatic beadlock assembly is disposed inside a tire and mounted on a rim. A pneumatic beadlock assembly exerts a force on the two circumferential inner beads of a tire such that the tire stays in secure contact with the rim, even when the inflation pressure of the tire is not sufficient to lock the tire to the rim.

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a tire, a wheel and a vehicle, the tire includes an inner tube, a tire casing and a lubricating layer; the inner tube is a pneumatic tire, the tire casing is defined with an inner cavity, the inner tube is provided in the inner cavity, and the lubricating layer is provided between the inner tube and the tire casing. The lubricating layer is provided between two surfaces where the inner tube and the tire casing of the tire are in contact with each other, so as to reduce friction force caused by relative sliding between the inner tube and the tire casing slide when the tire pressure is zero or insufficient, avoid the inner tube from being worn out and then causing the air leakage, and improve the driving safety of the vehicle.

Vehicle systems and components are set forth, which aim to reduce rolling friction caused in part by the contact between the vehicle's tires and the ground surface over which the vehicle is traversing. These systems and/or components thereof may increase the overall fuel efficiency of a vehicle. In the examples provided, the systems and/or components change the tread contact patch of one or more tires during movement of the vehicle.
