DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP

At  Evolution Wheel, we are continuously pushing the boundaries of tire technology. Our roadmap outlines key milestones and innovations we're working on to deliver superior performance, longevity, and sustainability for our customers.

COMPLETED - Q1 2024
INITIATION & SCOPING

PROBLEM FRAMING & REQUIREMENTS

Capture the real use cases, loads, speeds, terrains, and service needs. Convert this into clear targets for safety, durability, heat, balance, cost, and serviceability. Agree on constraints like rim, hub, and brake clearances so the team designs to reality.
COMPLETED - Q2 2024
PHASE 1

CONCEPT DESIGN & VIRTUAL VALIDATION

Choose the segmented architecture, interlocks, attachment method, and candidate materials. Use CAD and simulations to predict stress, strain, contact pressure, and heat rise under the worst duty cycles. Iterate until the virtual model meets the targets with acceptable margins.
COMPLETED - Q4 2024
PHASE 2

PROTOTYPE BUILD & LAB TEST

Build early segments and rims using prototype tooling to verify fundamentals. Run bench tests for load, durability, heat, chip and cut resistance, torque retention, and balance. Use results to tune geometry, compounds, and service procedures before going to the field.
IN PROGRESS
PHASE 3

FIELD TRIALS & DESIGN FREEZE

Install tires on pilot vehicles in representative terrains and log temperature, wear, and failure modes. Validate service time, torque retention, and segment replacement logistics. Freeze the design once performance and maintainability meet the agreed KPIs.
UPCOMING
PHASE 4

INDUSTRIALIZATION & SUPPLY CHAIN

Move to production tooling and lock process windows for molding or casting, curing, coating, and inspection. Set up in-process controls, SPC on critical dimensions, and supplier qualifications. Prove capability with pilot runs that hit cost and quality targets.

UPCOMING
PHASE 5

PRODUCT LAUNCH

Release the product with training, load tables, installation guides, and spare segment kits. Monitor warranty and performance data to prioritize compound tweaks, tread updates, and cost reductions. Feed lessons learned into the next revision while sustaining quality and margin.
