The Michelin man has been busy it seems thinking of new ways to improve the century old European brand. For decades Michelin has been known as one of the top tyre companies in the country, and for good reason, because the brand works hard to continue to improve via innovation. As part of their new Living Total Performance Campaign they are actually actively watching the road to see just how people drive and how they can create better tyres to match modern urban driving needs.

They have set up a new live driving lab that includes 3000 people throughout Europe. Special monitoring equipment has been placed into cars so that they can record driving habits and situations. The result is a plethora of information and it is all being processed and placed into their road usage lab, a unique digital hub of information that includes all of their initiatives. You can take a look at the road usage lab for yourself online and learn more about safe driving and tyres by reading over some of their finds so far. Every day more and more information is going up so it’s definitely something to check out.
