DUNLOP to Exhibit at Automotive Testing Expo Europe 2026 -Showcasing SENSING CORE Technology That Supports Safety in Autonomous Driving of the Future-

DUNLOP (Company name: Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd.; President and CEO: Yasuaki Kuniyasu) is pleased to announce that we will exhibit a dedicated booth at the Automotive Testing Expo Europe 2026 (organized by UKIP Media & Events Ltd.) held from June 23 to 25 in Stuttgart, Germany.

The booth will showcase our proprietary software technology, “SENSING CORE,” capable of detecting tire and road surface conditions without using additional sensors.

SENSING CORE, a software technology, analyzes wheel speed data generated by tire rotation and Controller Area Network (CAN) data transmitted across the vehicle to detect tire pressure, tire load, tire wear, road conditions, and wheel detachment.

Our booth this year will showcase specific use cases for resolving challenges faced by the mobility society, themed around “Autonomous driving,” “Smart navigation*1,” “One-stop maintenance and insurance premium optimization,” “Smart infrastructure*2,” and “Digital twin*3.”

This technology supports the advancement of Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV)*4 and self-driving society, reinforces collaboration with partner companies and thereby contributes to the evolving automotive industry.
