On March 18, several test tracks were officially opened for operation at Sino Asia Tire Proving Ground, which was built by Linglong Group with a total investment of 1.133 Billion Yuan. This means that Linglong Group has ushered in a new breakthrough in building a third-party public test and inspection platform and promoting cutting-edge technology research.

Sino Asia Tire Proving Ground is designed and participated by top international professional team Applus + IDIADA as the third party to carry out comprehensive operation and management, covering tire tests for sedans, light trucks, trucks, passenger cars, etc. It can conduct field monitoring and indoor testing on more than 40 performance indicators such as tire controllability, economical efficiency, comfortableness, etc.

At the same time, 17 tire test tracks have been built at Sino Asia Tire Proving Ground, including high-speed loop track, pass-by noise test track, dynamic square, multi-pavement straight braking track, dry handling track, wet handling track, wet circle, fatigue endurance track, NVH and comfort track, multi-functional platform and test mountain, cross-country track, etc.
